Two Queens NY Women Charged In ISIS-Inspired NYC Bomb Plot.

While President Obama does a mom-jean style victory cheer about the craptastic Iran deal, and the Governors of Indiana and Arkansas cave in to political pressure; ISIS continues its insidious work in Syria and Iraq. However, there is a bright spot regarding their reign of terror.  It seems that some of ISIS’s recruitment efforts are falling short. Emily Caswell of Fox News reports on one such story.

Turkish officials announced Thursday that they nabbed 10 Westerners and four Russians allegedly trying to cross into Syria to join ISIS in what may be an effort to stem international criticism that Ankara has been too lax in stopping the tide of foreign fighters using the Arab nation as a conduit on their way to join jihadists.
Three men, two women and four children from the UK and one French national were detained Wednesday by soldiers at a military outpost after being caught in the Hatay region of southern Turkey, Turkish armed forces said in a statement on its website. Separately, on Thursday, officials in the southeastern city of Gazientep announced four Russians had been detained on Thursday, just two days after they deported a Belgian national caught trying to cross into Syria.
The arrests seem to be evidence that, after years of international criticism for lax border controls, Turkey is taking a greater responsibility in monitoring human traffic over its 500-mile border with Syria.
This news comes on the same day that U.N. Security Council experts reported to the U.N. that more than 25,000 foreign fighters from 100 countries are linked to Al Qaeda and Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, comprising a “veritable international finishing school for extremists.”

14 fewer terrorists to deal with are indeed something to cheer about. But wait! There’s more. You see, there are two others who won’t be joining ISIS any time soon. On Thursday members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested 28-year-old Noelle Velentzas and 31-year-old Asia Siddiqui.
