Katiba al Muhajireen is a hardline Sunni militia that includes hundreds of foreign fighters. It is estimated that there could be as many as 80 British jihadists in Syria, among as many as 700 Europeans. The Katiba al Muhajireen, now part of a jihadi alliance, perhaps under the umbrella of the al-Nasra Front or the ISIS, is comprised mostly of Chechen and Russian fighters but there are many other recruits from America, Sweden, Britain and across Europe. First known for its work with Al Nusra Front with suicide missions, the Muhajireen Brigade is distinguished from other Syrian rebel groups by militants from the Islamic Caucasus Emirate originating in Chechnya. Orders are often given in Arabic, which are then translated into different languages including: Chechen, Tajik, Turkish, French, Saudi dialects, and Urdu.VideoVideo: 2013 Commander Abu Musab speaks in a clear British accent.Video: 2013 Abu Omar, has a red beard and what appears to be a North…

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
