A couple of fundamental considerations have been omitted in the analysis by "Nancy". But before I begin, let me say that I'm no fan of Abdel-Fatah Sisi.

Just a hunch.

Excerpt only:

US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has warned that foreign-backed terrorist groups in Syria are preparing to attack Western targets.
Presenting an annual intelligence assessment on Wednesday, Clapper told the Senate Intelligence Committee that al-Qaeda-linked groups operating inside Syria have launched camps “to train” the foreign-backed militants to go back to their countries and carry out terrorist acts.
He also touched upon the plans of the al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria for attacking targets in Western countries.
