He added that terrorism is not free “no religion”.
“wherever there are sleeper cells of terrorists, because we can’t feel safe,” he said. He drew this matter to the attention of the jihadi attack carried out, in particular, in the United States and Europe, and is scattered in different countries – training centres for IP.

“the Risk, as Daesz ( … ) threatens Iraq, threatens the Middle East, Europe and the nation state”, – is convinced. “I wish Poland the development, wish you all the best, and you can never feel confident. They move very fast, between province and province, between country and country, between continent; a telephone connection, determining a new target of the attack is very simple things,” he added.
Provided at the same time, that Iraq refers to the coalition countries about sending troops to Iraq, only to help financially, the protective umbrella of the airport and support economic, because – as he said – “war is”. “As you know, oil prices fell, and this led to a rather large deficit in the budget of the Central Iraq,” he added.
