Interpol circulates list of 173 suspected Isis fighters who may try to come to Europe

Interpol has reportedly circulated a list of 173 suspected Islamic State fighters who may be trained to bomb and launch suicide attacks in Europe.

According to the Guardian, the list includes suspects’ names, the date they were recruited, their last address, the mosque pray at, their mother’s name and photographs.

Sent out by the general secretariat of Interpol on May 27, it is thought to have been created using information collected by US intelligence from the group’s territories in Iraq and Syria.

It reportedly defines those on the list as people who have been “trained to build and position improvised explosive devices in order to cause serious deaths and injuries” and, according to the Guardian, says: “It is believed that they can travel internationally, to participate in terrorist activities.”

The newspaper said the information was collected by US intelligence which handed it to the FBI who then passed it on to Interpol for it to be shared.

There is no evidence any of the people on the list have crossed into Europe, the Guardian reported, but said Interpol has asked for any information its national partners may have about those on the list, alongside details on any border crossings, criminal offences, passport numbers and bio-metric data, which will be included in the agency’s database.

Interpol said it “regularly sends alerts and updates” on wanted terrorists and criminals through its secure global police communications network.

A spokesman said: “It is the member country which provides the information that decides which other countries it can be shared with.

“The purpose of sending these alerts and updates is to ensure that vital policing information is made available when and where it is needed, in line with a member country’s request.”
