Paris attackers listed in leaked ISIS files


Paris attackers listed in leaked ISIS files
Berlin (AFP) - A trove of leaked Islamic State group documents features the names of the three jihadists who carried out the assault on the Bataclan theatre during November's terror attacks in Paris, German media reported Friday. 
Among the thousands of IS registration papers were those of Samy Amimour, Foued Mohamed-Aggad and Omar Ismail Mostefai, said public broadcasters NDR and WDR and Munich daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung. 
The three men, using guns and suicide vests, killed 90 people at the Bataclan during a concert by rock band Eagles of Death Metal in the deadliest attack of the bloody rampage that claimed 130 lives across the French capital on November 13. 
The German research team said it had now obtained data on several thousand IS members from a total of 22,000 documents, many of them duplicates, which were earlier also obtained by British broadcaster Sky News. 
They contain the names, addresses, phone numbers and family contacts of jihadists who joined IS, as well as their blood type, mother's maiden name, "level of sharia understanding" and previous experience. 
The fighters listed in the cache of documents came from across Europe and from the United States, Russia, Indonesia, South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago, the German media team said.
