Newsday

Available for over a year

Belgium is the country that has produced more jihadists per capita than any other EU state. Some 500 of its citizens have been lured into fighting for the so-called Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. Many of the young people leaving home come from the Moroccan community. Samira Akil, a Belgian mother, describes how her daughter got radicalised and left for Syria: (Caption: screenshot of an online video designed by the French government to steer young people away from joining militant groups in Syria and Iraq.
