The Kingdom of Morocco, On the occasion of a tripartite meeting a Madrid With the Spanish and German representatives, he reported on this new jihadist danger for Europe and, of course, for Italy and on the need for coordination to prevent it. THE’FBI and the Cia Morocco’s security services have praised several times for the successes achieved in the fight against terrorism. In a context marked by violent extremism and global terrorist threat, both US agencies expressed satisfaction with the collaboration with DGeneral Ireation of territorial surveillance (DGST) of Morocco. The United States They aim to further strengthen the sharing of intelligence information and cooperation with the Moroccan authorities, underlining how this synergy contributes to the safety of both countries. The New York FBI office also reiterated the value of the anti -terrorism partnership with Morocco, remembering a recent joint operation that has foiled a potential attack against the US army. The new alarm is related to the Foreign Fighters of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), the terrorist group that took power in Syria and is commanded by Ahmed Al-Sharaa-ABU Mohamed Al-Jolani.
These are foreign fighters (between 3,000 and 4,000 of the 16,000 that HTS had once) that were part of this jihadist group, some of which could return to their countries of origin (mainly Arabs) or move to other places, including L ‘Europe. We are talking about terrorists with vast experience in the use of weapons and explosives, trained in the ranks of HTS, a group whose separation from Al-Qaeda has never been completely clear. After the victory in Syria, the different factions of HTS have hurried to express their support for the “brothers”, while the group’s “clerics” reiterated that the goal remains the establishment of an Islamic Republic based on Shak. As verified by Radio Free Europe Videos published on social media show European and Central Asian who fight for Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) during the rapid power taking of Syria by the militant group this month. Foreigners represent only a fraction of the overall fighter force of the approximately 10,000 members of HTS and the allied groups. But the presence of foreign fighters tempered by the battle and radicalized is seen as a risk for the stability of Syria and a threat to safety in their lands of origin. «This will be one of the greatest concerns from the point of view of the United States because they are not indigenous Syrian. The United States They are probably less worried about the Syrian within Hts, “he said Aaron ZelinSenior researcher at the Washington Institute. Many of these Foreign Fighters come from countries like Tagiskistan, Uzbekistanfrom the Bosnia and from theAlbania Just to name a few. After the beginning of the civil war in Syria in 2011, hundreds of ethnic Albanians went to the country to join the extremist groups of the Islamic State and the Front al-nusrathen affiliated to Al-Qaeda in Syria. The latter, over the years, has undergone a transformation and has changed its name to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The Albanians in Syria formed a Sunni Jihadist militant group active in the Governorate of Idlib, in Syria called Xhemati Alban. Over the years he has become known above all for his feared “Cecchini team”, the protagonist of numerous propaganda contents that enhance its operations. Composed mainly of ethnic Albanians from Kosovo and from the North Macedoniathe exact number of its members is uncertain, but it is estimated that it does not exceed one hundred jihadists. Although the group claims to have been founded in 2012, the first propaganda material attributable to Xhemati Alban dates back to 2017. Abdul Jashariknown as “Abu Qatada al-Albani”, is an Albanian born on September 25, 1976 in Skopje, in the former Yugoslavia. An influential figure within Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), he was a prominent councilor of several group leaders, including the current head Ahmed al-Sharaa-Aibu Mohamed Al-Jolani. In 2014, Al-Julani designated him as the leader of Xhemati Alban. Subsequently, the United States government included it in the list of terrorists .Bdul Jashari has appeared in various propaganda videos by addressing and inside the Syrian jihadist community enjoys a significant reputation and has often praised the courage of the fallen fighters, as well as the strategies soldiers adopted by Xhemati Alban and other ideologically aligned groups.
The continuous visits of the western authorities in Syria, both the notes and the most discreet ones, also had the delicate issue of the Syrian Foreign Fighters on the agenda, because the danger is and the collaboration of the new leaders of Damascus is necessary. One of the countries with the best information about this problem is Morocco and its secret services. It is not for nothing that it is estimated that in the years up to 2,700 Moroccan citizens have enrolled in the ranks of HTS. A few days ago, Madrid hosted a tripartite meeting between the representatives of the police forces of Morocco, Germany and Spain. According to sources close to the dossier, Abdellatif Hammouchihead of the secret services of Rabat, informed his counterparts about the delicate issue of the threat represented by the foreign fighters of HTS, underlining the need for strengthened supervision. At the end of the meeting, an official note was released which, without providing specific details, has generically declared that the discussion focused on “aspects of current affairs of European security”, with particular reference to the fight against terrorism.
During its left history, the HTS has practiced all forms of terrorism including suicide attacks. Starting in 2016, he recruited young people, now adults, in the displaced fields. Ahmed Al-Sharaa-ABU Mohamed Al-Jolani used thousands of teenagers such as “Kamikaze cannon meat” which were one of its best resources during the war on the regime Bashar al-Assad . But not everyone was killed and some of them have become established fighters, with all the consequences of the case. China is also among the countries interested in monitoring the matter, since HTS has been able to count on hundreds of uiguri fighters from Xinjiang, affiliates at Turkestan Islamic Party (Tip). In addition to being very skilled in the fighting, these militants have undergone an intense radicalization process. In particular, some of them have been indoctrinated as suicide attacks within children’s training camps, created specifically to this infamous purpose.
