(see related) Italy's intelligence
services said in their annual report to parliament on Wednesday
that there was a risk of Islamist terrorists infiltrating the
flows of asylum seekers trying to enter Europe via the Balkans.
It said that no evidence had been found of infiltration of
migrants and refugees reaching Europe from North Africa, but
added that there was a "more concrete" risk with the Balkans
route. The report said the Balkans was the region of transit
favoured by foreign fighters, with over 900 leaving from it to
reach theatres of war, and an area "consolidated extremist
situations".
