FOREIGN FIGHTERS I N SYRIA
The Soufan Group has provided this paper against a background of increasing
international concern about the flow of foreign fighters into Syria and their possible
actions on return. Given the potential scale of the problem and the limited resources
available to deal with it, The Soufan Group believes that policies must be based on as
full an understanding of the phenomenon as possible. This paper is a contribution to
that end. Richard Barrett, Senior Vice President of The Soufan Group, is the author of
the paper, with additional input from Robert McFadden, Senior Vice President, and
Patrick Skinner, Director of Special Projects.
