The dreaded Islamic State terror group is exploiting the refugee crisis to smuggle its members into Europe to create sleeper cells, British intelligence agencies have warned.
The suspected terrorists are mainly travelling on fake Syrian or Iraqi passports which are now so sophisticated that it is almost impossible to distinguish between genuine refugees and terror suspects, the Telegraph reported. Citing security officials, the paper said it also means suspects who were under watch by the intelligence agencies suddenly vanish. “ISIS is skilfully exploiting the migrant crisis to smuggle terror cells from Syria into major European countries such as the UK,” a top intelligence official said.
