The key issue here is that #ISIS's nexus with organized crime & smuggling networks in Central Asia & Southern Europe is exploitative, not controlling. Statements like the below are extraordinarily broad & loose -- worthy of policy concern, but not security panic.
NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas@NBCNightlyNews

NBC News has learned more than 50 migrants with potential ties to an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network are at-large, their whereabouts unknown, as immigration agents look to arrest them. @JuliaEAinsley investigates new concerns about the vetting process at the border.

#Germany has called on its citizens to "urgently... leave Lebanon" due to possible war with #Israel &/or "increased risk of terrorist attacks." Not many other countries following suit [yet] -- what does #Berlin know?

#Hezbollah has lost 45 operatives in #Israeli air & artillery strikes since October 10. 30 (67%) of those were killed in the past 5 days alone, illustrating a clear escalatory trend. #Hamas' #Lebanon-based deputy leader celebrated the "shared goal" in comments today.

At my count, that means #Iran-directed militants have attacked U.S. bases x103 times since @POTUS @JoeBiden became President. That's 103 attacks in 1,009 days -- 19% of them in the past 8 days. So far, the U.S. has responded x5 times, all in #Syria.
