Islamic State Manifesto: Sleeper Cells Sent To Europe Posing As Refugees :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism:
The Islamic State claims it sent highly trained sleeper agents to Europe through Turkey posing as refugees as far back as 2012.
A 99-page manifesto issued in January, "Black Flags from Rome," also details the Islamic State (ISIS)'s desire to spark a Europe-wide Islamic insurgency using "Muslim No Go Zones" as bases of operations.
As an example, it claims that some Syrian refugees fled to Italy.
"No doubt, some of these refugees were undercover fighters of Al Qa'idah and the Islamic State," the manifesto says.
"They were quick to take the opportunity of entering into the different countries of Europe (most probably as early as 2012).
All this was happening under the nose of the European intelligence services whose job during this time (2012) was only to prevent European Muslims from entering Syria.
(This shows how quick the Islamic groups were in planning ahead. Years before Europe even knew where its Muslim citizens were going - experienced Islamic fighters had already found safety in Europe.)"
These highly trained fighters were instructed to form secret cells and wait until called on by the Islamic State's self-proclaimed caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
At that time they would "continue the Jihad and ... seek revenge for the Western occupation of Muslim lands."
"Black Flags From Rome" claims the sleeper agents were well-trained in urban combat tactics similar to this month's Paris attacks.
It proudly contrasts past Al-Qaida's terrorists with its fighters, whom it describes as "untrained" and "vulnerable," noting that Western intelligence agencies never faced professionally trained fighters with combat experience.
"These young Europeans had been professionally trained, and given training most specific to the context of the war they would battle within Europe," the manifesto says..."
