Top 9 Countries That Send Jihadists To Islamic State

'Which countries lead in contributing fighters to the Levant, particularly Iraq and Syria, might surprise you.

Using only official statements and credible reports, Business Insider has compiled data to show rising numbers of jihadists from each country:

France – 700
U.K. – 400
Germany – 320
Belgium – 250
Australia – 200
Netherlands – 130
Canada – 100
U.S. – 100
Spain – 51
 
But the numbers are believed to be much higher than confirmed, as high as 3,000 from the top 9 nations.

Per capita, however, Belgium is the biggest source of western ISIS recruits.'
