Isis militants are posing as refugees and being smuggled into Europe across the Mediterranean, it has been reported.

Islamic State fighters are taking advantage of the current migrant crisis in the Mediterranean by joining overfilled boats leaving northern Africa for Europe, according to government advisor Abdul Basit Haroun.

He told BBC 5 live Investigates that he had spoken to boat owners in areas controlled by Isis.

They told him that militants were profiting from the dangerous journey across the sea by demanding half of people smugglers’ incomes in exchange for allowing them to keep operating – and to take fighters with them.

To the bunker! While the story is of course not totally impossible to believe, I have a strong sense it will turn out much like the stories of the US invasion via our southern border. Much ado about essentially nothing much.

Independent is a hard left source, we are not talking Fox here.

Plus there has been no shortage of ISIS volunteers emanating from UK and Europe.

Precisely. There are already ISIS volunteers in Europe. Not commenting on the source of the article but merely the level of concern such a story should evoke.

It a numbers game.

Reminds me of all those "emerging reports" of the ISIS fighters that come over the southern US border. Talking of those, whatever happened to them?

These are ISIS not Muslims.

You are sorely in need of some new slogans.
