British Intelligence has revealed that ISIS is using fake Iraqi and SYria passports to smuggle jihadists into Europe.
The militants are taking advantage of the influx of migrants into Europe by posing as ‘refugees’ and using new identities to avoid any detection.
This warning has sparked new fears of terrorist sleeper cells within Britain or other EU nations.
The Daily Telegraph has reported that security agencies are said to be very mindful of the possibility that ISIS is using refugee routes across Europe.
A British intelligence official stated: ‘Islamic State is skilfully exploiting the migrant crisis to smuggle terror cells from Syria into major European countries such as the UK.
‘Jihadists travel to Raqqa to meet up with commanders, where they receive training and new passports.
‘They then make their way back to Europe posing as migrants with new identities, making it virtually impossible for security officials to detect potential terrorists among those fleeing persecution.’
This comes just two days after the European Police chief warned that ISIS is actively planning new attack across Europe.
