Leaked Daesh ’Entry Forms’ Could Expose Thousands of Terrorists from over 50 States

A batch of leaked Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri "ISIS" group] documents with the names of some 22,000 militants from 51 countries was passed to UK security services. The papers, obtained by Sky News via a defector, could expose terrorists planning attacks in Europe.

The files reportedly contain data on 22,000 Daesh recruits from all over the world, including the UK and rest of Europe, the US, Canada, North Africa and the Middle East.

In further details, the biggest chunk of the 1,736 files represented simple questionnaires which would-be terrorists had to fill out to be eligible to join the terror group. Each form consists of 23 personal questions resembling a typical job application form, apart from several other points.

The documents are penned in Arabic and stamped with the terrorist group's logos. In addition, the majority of Daesh's recruits are from Arab countries, with Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt accounting for two-thirds of its militants. Up to 25 percent of the fighters are Saudis. However, the group's "foreign" [non-Arab] recruits are topped by Turks, with French nationals coming second.

Newcomers were requested to name a person who recommended them as reliable candidates - a kind of "reference check." The would-be terrorists also had to provide details about their previous battleground experience, home towns, countries they have traveled through, and their phone number.

Furthermore, the "applicants" were also required to list the next of kin and specify a preferable position in the group such as "fighter" or "suicide bomber," and list special skills they command. One of the secured files was marked as "martyrs" and was devoted exclusively to militants who intended to blow themselves up.

Since the start of the military conflict in Syria in 2011, between 25,000 and 30,000 foreign terrorists have reportedly arrived in Iraq and Syria, with Europe accounting for 21 percent of the total number.
