Elements in terms of being involved with foreign fighters. I do not. Who in the state does any of that . Obviously fsa is part of counterisis if thats our strategy, would obviously have to be involved in the foreign fighter and they would be on the front line of why are these people being recruited. Where does that connection happen. If youre the foreign fighter gi my task, my responsibility is the things i have been asked to do are to pursue a diplomatic strategy with our foreign partners, our Foreign Countries on foreign fighters.
