From a reader: ""In my unit, there are several people of several
different nationalities: Tunisians, Kosovars, and Chechens. We fight shoulder to
shoulder with a unit that includes Americans, Frenchmen, Malysians, Romanians, etc."
"There
are now an estimated 80,000 Syrian Islamist fighters engaged in battle, as well
as approximately 18,000 foreign Islamist militiamen, according to sources. This
includes some 2,000 fighters who are members of the Uighur ethnic group, a
Muslim minority of Turkic heritage who live mostly in China."
