Germany Arrests IS Recruiter Posing as Migrant; German Govt. Seizes 10K Bogus Syrian Passports

A 21-year-old man from Morocco has been arrested by German authorities at a refugee center near Stuttgart of being an Islamic State (IS) recruiter. He used a false identity to pose as an asylum seeker, the Clarion Project website reports today (September 21, 2015).

This is the first time German authorities have arrested a terror suspect masquerading as an asylum seeker.

At the same time, it was reported the German government seized 10,000 fake Syrian passports, which are being sold to those seeking to gain entry to the European Union (EU) for around $1,500 each. Possession of a Syrian passport makes claiming asylum much easier.

The Islamic State has said it is importing fighters into Europe disguised as refugees. These numbers will be compounded by the threat from returning European citizens who fought as jihadists in Syria.
