Interesting question.... following the end of the Afghan-Soviet War, many Arab states blocked their nationals from returning. Probably the most famous example is Saudi Arabias refusal to allow Osama bin Laden to return home. So, rather than returning to their home countries, these fighters become professional international jihadists. These stateless professional jihadists went on to form the core of Al Qaeda. They were responsible for attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the bombing of the USS Cole in the Port of Aden in Yemen, among many others. abc.net.au/news/2014-09-10/lockyer-milad-where-will-banned-jihadists-go/5733370
