The Islamic State Has The Means To Print Authentic Passports

A passport that law enforcement says was issued from ISIS-controlled territory in 2015, obtained in Istanbul.

ABC News: US Intel: ISIS May Have Passport Printing Machine, Blank Passports

With the U.S. and other countries on high alert for ISIS attacks, American authorities are warning the terror group’s followers may have infiltrated American borders with authentic-looking passports ISIS has printed itself with its own machines, according to an intelligence report obtained by ABC News.

The 17-page Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Intelligence Report, issued to law enforcement last week, says ISIS likely has been able to print legitimate-looking Syrian passports since taking over the city of Deir ez-Zour last summer, home to a passport office with “boxes of blank passports” and a passport printing machine. Another passport office was located in Raqqa, Syria, which has long been ISIS’s de facto capital.

WNU Editor,

Not really, fake Syrian Passports have been a staple item since 2011.

"Real" Syrian Passports have always been rare items.
