CNN interview: ISIS captured 500 blank Syrian passports in Raqqa
Last edited Tue Nov 17, 2015, 05:51 AM - Edit history (1)
A Syrian who is resettled in France was being interviewed there, saying that it is easy to obtain a Syrian passport, that whatever a person states as his name is put on the document no questions asked. It's simply a matter of paying several hundred Euros according to the witness.
Just as the interview was ending, he said "That isn't the worst thing though. I want to say something very important that no one has reported". He went on to say that when ISIS captured Raqqa, it got 500 blank Syrian passports.
500. 500 that ISIS can fill out any way it wishes. I'd say that's a relevant fact. I wonder why it hasn't been reported before. Surely the major players know about it.
(The interview was on between 3 am and 3:30 am EST. I want to see whether CNN reairs it in a while but if it doesn't, it's at least worth a post here.)
Edit to add: I didn't know who the interviewer was at first but I saw her on camera again -- it was Hala Gorani.

1. You Are wrong on this
it was 5000 blank ones not 500
And the reporter seemed to get very uncomfortable when he said it.
She wanted and did avoid any response to it
Ooooooo... not good.

2. How useful would a blank Syrian passport be?
Refugees/asylum seekers don't tend to go though immigration checks, and if they do they are carefully scrutinised.
OMG. It doesn't stay blank, idiot!

The documents, on sale for around $2,000, would help an asylum claim in Europe.
The forger who sold us the papers, said that they are being used by ISIS fanatics to travel undetected across borders into Europe hidden among tens of thousands of genuine refugees fleeing the terror and destruction.
Once in Europe they can set up sleeper cells or live freely under a new identity without facing the consequences of their brutal past actions.
“ISIS fighters are among the people going to Europe in this way. They are going to Europe to wait for the right time to become a fighter for ISIS again â€
Forger
As the forger chillingly put it: 'ISIS fighters are among the people going to Europe in this way. They are going to wait for the right time to become a fighter for ISIS again.'
The revelation comes as Lebanon warned two in every 100 Syrian migrants smuggled into Europe are ISIS-trained fanatics, with most travelling overland through Turkey to Greece.
The extremist group is sending trained jihadists 'under cover' to attack targets in the west, Lebanese Education Minister Elias Bousaab told British Prime Minister David Cameron during his visit to the country on Monday
