WARNING: ISIS in Possession of Thousands of Blank Passports

Western intelligence agencies issued a warning over the weekend that the Islamic State (IS) terror militia has come into possession of tens of thousands of blank passports in Syrian, Libyan and Iraqi towns since 2014 and probably intends to use them to smuggle its operatives into Western countries designed as refugees. Official machinery and stationary used to create passports and other documents have also been seized by IS. Meanwhile, the Russian air campaign in Syria resulted in the deaths of scores of civilians over the weekend, according to opposition groups, while air and land operations by various other countries battling IS continued over the weekend with mixed results.
