<p>According to Buzzfeed, an Islamic State operative has confirmed the infiltration of more than 4000 ;covert Islamic gunmen into Europe.  ;Much of this occurred through the sparsely guarded 565-mile border with Turkey.  ;Apparently local smugglers were used to traverse the border, after which the trained terrorists take advantage European Union good will, presenting themselves as asylum seekers.</p>
<p>These new revelations add to BBC reports last May which described the smuggling of refugees into Europe.  ;Libya, a country in chaos with no stable government, has provided an environment for traffickers to thrive, providing an avenue into Italy from the south.</p>
<p>According to the BBC report, at that time Egypt&#8217;s ambassador to the UK warned of &#8220;boats full of terrorists&#8221; if the international community does not act. The Italian government also expressed fears of militants infiltrating boats intended for humanitarian aid.</p>
<p><strong>Author&#8217;s note:</strong>  ;Considering how dangerous even a small group of terrorists can be, this is a devastating security situation for the European Union.  ;You can assume the following:</p>
<p><strong>1. They are well trained</strong> and will work in isolated &#8220;cells&#8217; of 3 to 5 each.  ;That means <strong>over 800 independent and secure operating units</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>2. They will have access to large amounts of cash</strong>, and the resources to do what they need to do.  ;The Islamic State is large and well supported.</p>
<p>3. Their leadership will know how to orchestrate them, <strong>when they hit it will seem like World War III</strong>.</p>
<p>4. Europe is home 44 million Muslims.  ;Coordination of attacks be multiple terrorist cells would cause a<strong> wave of sympathy violence among normally moderate Muslims</strong>.</p>
