800,000 migrants ready to head to EU

An estimated 800,000 migrants are waiting in Libya to cross into Europe and there is an increased possibility that terrorists will try to cross with them, a report by Interpol and Europol says, writes Sky News.

“While a systematic link between migrant smuggling and terrorism is not proven, there is an increased risk that foreign terrorist fighters may use migratory flows to (re)enter the EU,” states the report.

According to the source, UKIP MEP Steven Woolfe, who wants the UK to leave the EU, said the report's findings confirmed the security fears of former-MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove who says Britain would be safer outside the EU.
