UN: Growing number of foreigners in terror groups
A new United Nations report says the world is facing a challenge from foreigners traveling to fight in terror groups on an "unprecedented scale," with about 15,000 in Syria and Iraq alone.
     
The report by a panel of experts monitoring al-Qaeda and the Taliban, obtained Friday by The Associated Press, has been submitted to the U.N. Security Council.
     
The panel says fighters from more than 80 countries working with al-Qaeda associates in Syria and Iraq "form the core of a new diaspora that may seed the threat for years to come."
     
The report adds that the increasingly sophisticated use of social media is giving the Islamic State group a "cosmopolitan" appearance.
