It has been almost a year since the Islamic State (IS) grew in power and seized control over sporadic territories in Iraq and Syria. An observation made by security and terror experts is the notable number of foreign fighters from all over the world. United under the dream of establishing a Caliphate, this ideology has drawn the young and disenfranchised to a bloody cause. What were the factors that led to this, and what counter-terrorism efforts are in place to mitigate this issue? We explore Southeast Asia, where over hundreds of militants have originated from.
