Nearly half of European jihadists known to have travelled to ISIL held territory are French. That's according to a report by the French Senate in April. It says over 14 hundred French people have made their way to Iraq and Syria, and some 200 have left to go back to France. There are growing concerns that more attacks will come mirroring Friday's tragedies.
