Topic: Serbian police arrest man with Syrian passport matching Paris attacker's (Read 353 times)

Sounds like some people should demand refunds on their low quality fake passports.

The Syrian Passport security was compromised a long time ago. Passport offices in rebel territory have been ransacked and a thriving business dishing out passports to anyone who will pay is what is happening now.
ID's, Passports, anything official looking, are in the hands of rebels. It is naive to think that people living in camps can all of sudden magically whip out the proper paperwork, unless it was stolen in the first place?
People who are not Syrian at all have such passports. They have in effect, changed their place of origin and identity. The other countries in the Middle East know this, which is why they will not allow anyone to come in from Syria, without the greatest of scrutiny

Seems like these fools thought they were going to get away with it. Bring back the electrical chair for these terrorists. JK

The passport has the same details and name – Ahmad Almohammad – as one found near the body of an attacker in Paris, but not the same photograph

Serbian police have arrested a man carrying a Syrian passport with the same details as one found near the body of one of the Paris suicide bombers, police sources told the Guardian.

The passport bears the same name and details – but a different photograph – as the document found near one of the men who attacked the Stade de France.


Serbian officials said that they believe both passports are fake, but added that they are working with French investigators to establish the origin of the documents.


French police found a passport in the name of Ahmad Almohammad, 25, near the body of one of the men who attacked France’s national football stadium on Friday.

On 7 October, a man using the passport had arrived on the small Greek island of Leros and registered as a refugee, before traveling on through Serbia and Croatia before entering France.

But on Saturday, a different man using a second passport with the same details was discovered in a Presovo refugee centre, according to the Serbian newspaper Blic.

Serbian police sources said that they believed both passports were fake and were acquired in the border area between Syria and Turkey. According to the source, French authorities contacted Serbian officials for assistance as Serbia maintains a detailed register of all refugees who pass through its borders.

Serbian security services are also in communication with authorities in Bosnia and Republika Srpska, monitoring the activities of alleged Isis sympathisers around the Bosnian village Gornja Maocha (Gornja Maoča).

“There could be a possible link for transferring terrorists for Vienna and further, and we know that is the path the Paris terrorist took,” a Serbian police source told the Guardian.
