If I were the heads of EU countries, and this actually happened (after the already huge refugee crisis happened and keeps on happening), I would be <i>extremely</i> pissed off at the US for creating this problem for Europe in the first place - if not in public, at least in backrooms.

I&#x27;m not sure anybody has much incentive to report this number accurately. Whether it&#x27;s ISIS, European security officials, or the AP itself, it&#x27;s in the best interest of all of them to report the highest estimate they can find.

I guess I can&#x27;t get too excited - I don&#x27;t know what the ratio of &quot;terrorists trained and sent to X&quot; to &quot;terrorists that end up not doing anything&quot; is. We know the latter exists: the November Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam apparently changed his mind and didn&#x27;t blow himself up (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2016&#x2F;mar&#x2F;19&#x2F;paris-attacker-salah-abdeslam-was-supposed-to-blow-himself-up" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2016&#x2F;mar&#x2F;19&#x2F;paris-attacker-...</a>). My guess is that there&#x27;s a pretty high drop out rate. But we&#x27;ll never know, as that kind of statistic is deeply classified.
