GREEKS HAND MIGRANTS TRAVEL PAPERS TO PASS EU BORDERS
Greek
junior interior minister for migration Yiannis Mouzalas said that Ahmad
al Mohammad arrived on the island of Leros on October 3.
Mr Mouzalas released a photograph of al Mohammad, which was taken as he was processed by Greek Authorities.
He
said the 25-year-old was registered 'in accordance with European
regulations' and and been allowed to continue his journey as his details
did not raise any 'red flags' on any EU security databases.
Greek
authorities hand travel papers to migrants as long as their
fingerprints are not held on an international terror watch list.
Mr Mouzalas added: 'This is the sole person on which we have received a request from the French police.
But Mouzalas insisted that heightened security concerns should not jeopardise the rights of refugees to safety in Europe.
'There could be more (such jihadists)... are we supposed to toss 100,000 people in the sea?
'Greece and Europe must keep a very fine balance between security and human rights," he said.
'Most
of (the attackers) were born and raised in Western countries... they
leave Western countries with legal Western passports, go to jihad and
return.'
