The analysis, which was carried out by a panel of experts monitoring UN sanctions against al-Qaeda, shows that the number of foreign terrorists spiked by 71 percent between mid-2014 and March 2015, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
The report added that the flow of foreign militants “is higher than it has ever been historically.”
According to the report, which was presented to the UN Security Council, the total number of foreign terrorists has “risen sharply from a few thousand… a decade ago to more than 25,000 today.”
Syria and Iraq were the destination for over 20,000 of the terrorists, where they went to join ISIL and the al-Nusra front, the report added.
It went on to say that the foreign militants are currently training in “a veritable ‘international finishing school’ for extremists.”
