Kosovo’s Jihadis

Available for over a year

Kosovo is reeling from the release earlier this year of a jihadi video showing a Kosovan Albanian with ISIS beheading a soldier in Syria. Amid reports of increasing numbers of young people becoming radicalised and leaving for Syria and Iraq, the government in Pristina has responded with a series of arrests. For Assignment, Linda Pressly travels to Kosovo and meets the sister of ISIS’ first suicide-bomber from the Balkans. How could Europe’s most pro-American state have fostered such extremism?
