A Look At Who Are The Foreign Fighters Who Have Flocked To Join The Islamic State

CNN: The names: Who has been recruited to ISIS from the West

(CNN)More than 20,000 foreigners have flocked to fight for ISIS, the radical Sunni group that controls portions of Iraq and Syria.

They hail from 90 countries, and an estimated 3,400 fighters come from Western states, according to Nicholas Rasmussen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

Those are the numbers -- estimates, of course.

But who is actually going? What are their names? What do they look like, where are they from and -- perhaps most importantly -- why are they going?

These are some of the individuals we know have traveled or tried to join ISIS.
