News of #Syriza's victory in #Greece is 13 hours old. The CNN story on the right was published 11 hours ago.

FROM CNN:

Add this to Greece's list of problems: It's an emerging hub for terrorists

CNN)The new Greek government has plenty of challenges ahead of it: A towering debt, chronic unemployment and relations with the rest of Europe. But it also has an urgent security problem.

Greece has become an unwitting crossroads -- both for jihadists trying to reach Iraq and Syria from Europe, and for fighters returning home from the Middle East.

Greece's long land and maritime boundaries, its proximity to Turkey, the explosion of illegal migration from Syria and the country's dire financial situation make it an inviting hub for jihadist groups, according to multiple counterterrorism sources.

One source close to the Greek intelligence services told CNN there may be some 200 people in the country with links to jihadist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the al Nusra Front -- the two groups that most Europeans join.

how will the Powers That Be stomp on this? Gosh, we may have no alternative but to bomb Greece! Or "help" the new parliament!
I don't think that Greece is setting a good example for, say, Spain, as far as the austerity lovers are concerned. Just a thought.

Read the article, it's not just Greece. Turkey is the main gateway, too, and this is just due to Greece's proximity to Turkey.
