Turkey is fighting the PKK Marxist-Leninist narco-terrorist organization.PKK was armed by the Obama administration. The PKK trained Antifa fighters in Northern Syria. A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intelligence report, titled The Syrian Conflict and its Nexus to the U.S.-based Antifascist Movement, identifies several Americans, including a left-wing podcast host who traveled to Syria to fight ISIS. The report includes a readout of these individuals’ personal information, including their social security numbers, home addresses, and social media accounts, much of the data generated by DHS’s Tactical Terrorism Response Teams. As the intelligence report states, “ANTIFA is being analyzed under the 2019 DHS Strategic Framework for Countering Terrorism (CT) and Targeted Violence.”
"Some Antifa adherents have ideological similarities to the PKK and its offshoots in Syria – PYD, YPG and YPJ. Since the rise of terrorist organization Daesh [ISIS] in Syria, there have been reports that many far-leftists including Antifa elements joined the YPG as foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs). Especially under the protection of the international coalition assisting the YPG on the pretext of fighting Daesh, these FTFs received significant training and combat experience in the conflict zone," it stated.
“When the flow of FTFs was reversed and they became returnees in their home countries, the risk they pose also became more visible.
Regardless of their ideology or the groups they join, they can plan, direct or conduct terrorist attacks, create new terrorist organizations, radicalize and recruit new terrorists,” according the report.
Potential to cause mass casualties due to actual combat experience

Some nations turn blind eye to citizens joining YPG/PKK terrorists in Syria but it might backfire when fighters return.
“When the flow of FTFs was reversed and they became returnees in their home countries, the risk they pose also became more visible.
Regardless of their ideology or the groups they join, they can plan, direct or conduct terrorist attacks, create new terrorist organizations, radicalize and recruit new terrorists,” according the report.
Potential to cause mass casualties due to actual combat experience
FTFs gain first-person combat experience and might witness a killing or themselves kill others amid clashes, according to the report.
And they may suffer severe traumatic conditions that pave the way for further radicalization in their cause, constituting a great risk for native countries.
“Their numbers, combat experience and the offences that they commit in the war zone all remain mostly unknown; and therefore unmonitored.
In this regard, the potential risk that they pose to their countries of origin upon their return requires considerable attention,” the report stated.
"The threat perception related to returnees is very high. Indeed, the involvement of returnees in terrorist attacks in their home countries is interestingly limited in numbers, yet even a small number of returnees have the potential to cause mass casualties because they have actual combat experience," it added.
