The Hague International Center for Counter-Terrorism research fellow Liesbeth van der Heide told Sputnik what Europe can do to protect itself. Sputnik: Daesh commanders forced out of Syria have conspired with extremist groups in Africa to form a new migration wave destined for Europe, according to the head of the UN World Food Program. It's definitely a serious development, but when you talk about ISIS these days, you can't talk about one ISIS anymore. So rather than saying a new migration wave is being caused by these groups, it's more a matter of them sending out individuals to join the migration wave and task them with carrying out attacks. The views and opinions expressed by Liesbeth van der Heide are those of the expert and do not necessarily reflect those of Sputnik.
