Intel warning

French intel: 100 jihadis enter Syria from Turkey each week


French military intelligence estimates that about 100 foreign fighters are entering Syria from Turkey each week to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. 
"According to the Direction for Military Intelligence (DRM) in Paris, each week, about 100 foreigners continue to cross Turkey into Syria to join Islamic State," French newspaper Le Figaro reported Wednesday, according to Reuters. 
The estimate is likely to raise scrutiny on Turkey's effectiveness as a partner in the fight against ISIS, in particular following a failed military coup attempt last week.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said on Sunday that he expected the coalition to raise questions about Turkey's efforts during a meeting hosted by U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter in Washington on Wednesday.
