Greeks details Syrian passport owner’s movements in country after arrival

At least one Syrian passport was found at the scene of the Stade de France attack.

Meanwhile, German authorities are investigating a man who was earlier arrested in Bavaria for possibly being connected to the Paris massacre.

Greek police earlier said the owner of the passport was a young man who was identified by fingerprints in the Greek island of Leros and passed through on October 3.

One of the bombers who carried out the Paris terrorist attacks entered Europe as a Syrian migrant, according to foreign officials.

However, Austrian Interior Ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck said it was only “conjecture and speculation” that the passport holder had passed through Austria.

Nonetheless, the attacks are fuelling discord in the European Union on how to handle the flood of asylum seekers from Syria and other countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Fake Syrian passports have become a valuable commodity in recent months and are freely traded on the black market, as they can help ease the path for non-Syrians to get protection as refugees in Europe.

In Syria, residents and activists joined the global outcry over the carnage in Paris. The attacks in Paris are only going to enhance these concerns.

The confirmation has fueled fears that European officials have long held that radical terrorists could infiltrate Europe’s borders along with millions of refugees seeking asylum from Syria’s brutal civil war.

“It was established that his details matched those of a person registered in Greece on 3 Oct”, the Serbian Interior Ministry said in a statement.

According to Turkish news company Hurriyet, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said that there won’t be a change to EU’s stance over the immigration crisis.

French President Francois Hollande vowed to attack Islamic State without mercy as the jihadist group admitted responsibility Saturday for orchestrating the deadliest attacks inflicted on France since World War II.

The inquiry into a foiled attack on a high-speed train between Amsterdam and Paris in August showed major weaknesses in the exchange of information between the respective intelligence services.

Tusk told reporters at the G20 summit in Turkey on Sunday that such attacks will “only result (in) a new wave of refugees”.

“We have to find who these people are, who their accomplices are, who ordered this, where they come from, how they were financed”, Molins told journalists.

Another wrinkle to this global headache: Keeping borders open to war refugees might encourage more people to take risky risks during their journey from Syria to Europe. The smuggler, using the pseudonym “Hassan”, told BuzzFeed that the jihadis posing as migrants were going to Europe to launch attacks in the West.

Pope Francis had already thought about this possibility back in September. “So there is a danger of infiltration, this is true”, The Telegraph reported.

“That’s why I ask for restraint when people lump together terrorism and refugees”. “But it is absolutely crystal clear that whether they are recent arrivals, whether they are second generation Parisians, the problem of Islamist extremism is severe”.

Another Syrian refugee, William, 24, who had also arrived in Germany five months ago, was equally anxious. “The place is awash with European volunteers who have gone off and done terrible things. French people know that we have more than 4,000 French fighters in Syria who joined ISIS”, he added.
