Just last week two fighters contacted TV shows in the Netherlands to announce their return to Dutch soil, a third contacted the police.<\/p>\n
The grim irony of such a ploy is obvious. Many would-be holy warriors from European backgrounds have been associated with organizations that took journalists hostage, ransomed some, tortured and beheaded others.

The article says that there may have been as many as two thousand jihadists that left Europe to fight with the various groups in Syria and their return home creates a security problem.<\/p>\n
With the jihadists\u2019 stories trickling in, the Dutch security services try to gauge the security risk involved if they return. Even if the men are found not guilty of participation in war crimes and\/or membership of a terrorist organization, which is unlikely, they are still suffering from PTSD. Letting them loose on the society they rejected would be risky business, and not just for the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
