A German minister has said the Syrian passport found in Paris may be a fraud

German Interior Minister, Thomas de Maiziere, has said that the Syrian passport conveniently found next to a suicide bomber in the Paris terror attacks may have been planted – feuling rumours that the passport itself is a fake.

The passport may have actually been registered in several countries along the Balkan route, and the planting of the passport may have been a deliberate attempt to make people feel unsafe, according to de Maiziere.

Bloomberg.com reports:

“There are indications that this was a planted lead, but it still can’t be ruled out that this was indeed an IS terrorist posing as a refugee,” he told reporters in Berlin on Tuesday, referring to Islamic State, which France blames for organizing the violence.

Any link between France’s worst terror attack since World War II and Europe’s refugee crisis would raise the stakes for Chancellor Angela Merkel as she defends her open-door policy for asylum seekers in Germany’s debate over immigration and security.

French prosecutors have said the remains of an assailant who attacked the Stade de France stadium during a soccer game between France and Germany matched the fingerprints of an individual registered by Greek authorities as an asylum seeker in October. Investigators were weighing the authenticity of the passport, made out to Ahmad Al Mohammad, 25, born in Idlib, Syria.

“It’s certainly unusual that such a person would have been faithfully registered in Greece and Serbia and Croatia, while we’re constantly pressing for registration and aren’t happy that it isn’t happening to the necessary extent,” de Maiziere said.
