ISIS data leak 'breakthrough' could destroy evil jihadis

The treasure trove of data includes names, addresses, telephone numbers and family contacts of the terror groups recruits.

It is also thought to include hundreds of British fighters.

The personal information could prove a vital tool in identifying jihadis who slip in and out of European countries.

ne of the files – reportedly named ‘Martyrs’ – includes details of a small army of fighters who were willingly trained to carry out vile suicide attacks.

Former MI6 boss Richard Barrett was confident that the "breakthrough” could help the fight against the warped group.

The details were collected as part of Daesh’s enlisting process, where they get would–be fighters to fill in a 23 question security card.

The questions included their date of birth, marital status, former employment, who recommended them, if they had fought before, their preferred role – such as, "fighter” – and any "specialist skills”.

The leaked names are believed to include Abdel Bary, 26, the son of a convicted terrorist who stepped up to fight for the group after previously working as a UK rap artist.

Will Geddes, managing director of a leading threat management company, said: "They will be in crisis mode, worried about what is in there, who is in there and how it will disrupt their activities”.

The files were reportedly delivered to western officials after a disgruntled recruit – who calls himself Abu Hamed – stole a memory stick from one of the twisted jihadi group’s internal security police.

The recruit later gave the details to Sky News while claiming ISIS had been taken over by former soldiers from the Iraqi Baath party – formerly led by Saddam Hussein.

Asked if he felt the files could bring down the terror network, he said: "God willing”.

Security agencies including MI5 and MI6 are currently examining the memory stick’s authenticity.

The 1,736 documents are all stamped with the black flag of the horrific caliphate and reveals jihadis from more than 50 countries with the majority of European fighters coming from France.

They also show the group is hoping to develop its would-be nation around a model of western government, setting up a "border administration” along with other ministries.
