Irish Examiner: Five jihadists in Irish prisons, says study

Body

"There are five jihadists held in Irish prisons serving convictions relating to Islamist extremism offences, according to new research. The report Guns and Glory: Criminality, Imprisonment and Jihadist Extremism in Europe, was published by the Counter Extremism Project and the European Policy Centre and examined 10 European countries, including Ireland. The chapter on Ireland, written by Ian Acheson of the project, claimed there was evidence that the threat of radicalisation existed in the Muslim community, especially among its youth."
