The Syrian passports to terror: EIGHT migrants have got into Europe with same papers as those found on stadium suicide bomber
By Ian Drury | Daily Mail | 20:34 EST, 17 November 2015


The full scale of the trade in false passports that allows terrorists to slip into Europe was exposed last night.

It lets Islamic State fanatics who are bent on murder pose as refugees fleeing war and persecution.

Eight migrants have reached Europe using documents almost identical to those carried by one of the Paris suicide bombers.

He claimed asylum on the Greek island of Leros last month with a fake Syrian passport in the name of 25-year-old Ahmad Almohammad.

In a shocking indictment of the EU’s porous borders, yesterday Serbian police revealed they had arrested a man carrying a Syrian passport which was almost a carbon copy of the one found on the IS bomber’s corpse on Friday.

It had the same name, date of birth and place of birth. The only difference was the photograph. Serbian officials said as many as six other men this year had entered the EU with virtually identical passports.

According to Djamel Mazi, a journalist in St-Denis, two or three men have barricaded themselves into an apartment in the centre of the suburb.

His images show a large police presence, and a helicopter overhead.

Hi Maltese Mama, that was my first thought, but then I realized that they can mine information from them so I hope they get at least one alive. Not because I have compassion for the savages but because I hope we can get some information from them. MSNBC is reporting live and says that 3 men are barricaded in an apartment. I hope that the police/special forces are watching their backs as I'm sure that the Allah Akbar crowd would love nothing better than to attack and kill them.

Hi ladies! :28

Looks like Fox, CNN & MSNBC all have they same video.
I didn't catch the name of the police team, only that two "special tactical police" are wounded. No condition.

I'm working, will check back shortly. :)

Per Wikipedia: National Gendarmerie Intervention Group, commonly abbreviated GIGN (French: Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale), is a special operations unit of the French Armed Forces. It is part of the National Gendarmerie and is trained to perform counter-terrorist and hostage rescue missions in France or anywhere else in the world.

I assume this my be the special forces unit.

Thanks Mal :rose That's them MaL! She said they were the counter -terrorist leg of the special forces.

Hi Molly :69

I've switched over to CNN for a bit. I can only take the idiot talking heads for so long so if I mix them up it is more palatable.

Target of police raid is 'Paris mastermind' Abdel-Hamid Abu Oud

Salah Abdeslam also reported to be in St-Denis
Jon Henley

Citing police sources, French news channel BFMTV said the main target of the police operation in St-Denis was the suspected mastermind of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, believed to have been in Syria but now apparently in France.

The other two men in holed up with him in the apartment block were believed to be Salah Abdeslam, the subject of a major manhunt since Saturday, and an unidentified “ninth attacker” sought since Tuesday night.

A BFM-TV reporter at the scene said the gunfire had now stopped after a battle that continued for more than two hours, since around 4.30am, at an apartment block on the rue Gabriel Péri in St-Denis, north of Paris.

It is not known whether the “massive” police operation had succeeded in capturing them, whether they were injured, or whether negotiations were underway.
