An internal document from the European Union regarding counter-terrorism, reviewed by Reuters, has shown that the situation in Syria could pose security risks for Europe. The document warned that the level of "terrorism" risk within the European bloc remains high.

The document stated that "terrorism and violent extremism pose a significant threat to the European Union and its member states, and the overall level of risk remains high."

It added: "Developments in the security situation in Syria could lead to the resurgence of extremist groups in the region, either originating from Syrian territory, likely towards Europe, or by activating extremists in the European continent remotely."
