Former terrorists to start a new life in Hungary

Although the Hungarian National Security Service has not identified anyone among the immigrants who intends to commit terrorist acts, 30-40 people are under surveillance because they are likely to have connections to different terrorist groups, Népszabadság was informed according to nol.hu.

According to the portal’s current information, there are no Hungarians among the suspects, but it does not mean that there were no Hungarians connected to Islamic terrorism, or that the Counter Terrorism Centre does not observe any of them; but they are simply not active participants right now.

Upon leaving the National Security Committee’s session on Tuesday, Szilárd Németh (Fidesz) reacted to the terror threat rumours: he said that they minimised the risk by exploring, observing, and expelling suspicious individuals. Creating the Counter Terrorism Centre (TEK) was proved to be a wise decision, and so was the Serbian and Croatian border closure, he added. Zsolt Molnár, member of the MSZP agreed with Németh’s opinion.

The media had countless reports about execution videos found on phones near the border, which were assumed to belong to terrorists. It was since revealed that these videos were downloaded from the internet.

Experts say that these videos cannot prove that the phones’ owners sympathize with terrorists; there’s a chance that the refugees found it important to preserve the brutality that goes on in the country they had to leave.

There were numerous speculations that different terrorist groups use the massive amount of immigration to hide their members, so they can flee to Europe to continue their work there. These assumptions have not been confirmed by the security services yet, but the possibility cannot be ignored.
