BERLIN (Sputnik) — UK news channel Sky News reported earlier it had obtained a trove of documents from a disillusioned Daesh recruit that contain personal information of thousands of jihadists in 51 countries, including across Europe.
Potential Daesh members had to fill in a 23-question form to join the terrorist group. The details included their names, phone numbers, addresses and family contacts.
"The Bundeskriminalamt is aware of documents of the so-called Islamic State [Daesh]. We believe that there is a high probability that these are authentic documents. We will factor them into our efforts to investigate and repel threats," the agency’s spokesman Markus Koths told RIA Novosti.
