French
military intelligence estimates that about 100 foreigners continue to
enter Syria from Turkey each week to join Islamic State (IS, formerly
ISIS/ISIL), French daily Le Figaro reported on Wednesday. “According
to the Direction for Military Intelligence (DRM) in Paris, each week,
about 100 foreigners continue to cross Turkey into Syria to join IS,”
Le Figaro reported, citing sources. France’s foreign minister said on
Sunday that questions needed to be asked on whether Turkey was a viable
partner in the fight against IS in Syria and would raise the issue in a
coalition meeting in Washington this week. (Reuters)
