The Islamic State is going on a recruiting binge in Russia's Dagestan province with hundreds of jihadists reportedly signing up to fight for the Islamic State in Syria, according to the AP. The number of Russians who have fought with the Islamic State is estimated at around 2,500 overall, but police and intelligence officials also estimate that between 419 and 700 fighters from the group have returned to Dagestan, where authorities worry they could use their skills and contacts to carry out attacks at home.
