IS Registration Forms Identify 22,000 Jihadis

Source: Sky News

Tens of thousands of documents, containing 22,000 names, addresses, telephone numbers and family contacts of Islamic State jihadis, have been obtained by Sky News.

Nationals from at least 51 countries, including the UK, had to give up their most personal information as they joined the terror organisation. Only when the 23 question form was filled in were they inducted into IS.

A lot of the names and their new Islamic State names on the registration forms are well known.

Abdel Bary, a 26-year-old from London joined in 2013 after visiting Libya, Egypt and Turkey. He is designated as a fighter but is better known in the UK as a rap artist. His whereabouts are unknown.

The referral is funny too... does that guy get a referral bonus or something? These guys have some interesting paper work. I wonder how many places he has to sign his name? I just got a new car and had to sign around 15-20 different places.

Whoever he was... he's effectively revoked his British citizenship... to a so-called state that most of the world doesn't recognize as a country. If he isn't killed off in fighting he isn't going to get a warm welcome home to anywhere in the EU.
