The list was drawn up by the US intelligence from information captured during the assault on ISIS territories in Syria and Iraq.
According to The Guardian, the European counter-terror networks are concerned that as the ISIS being wiped out of their stronghold in Mosul of Northern Iraq, there is an increased risk of determined suicide bombers seeking to come to Europe. It also reported that there is a high probability that these suicide bomber are operating alone.
The Guardian also reported that the list that was sent out by the general secretariat of Interpol on May 27, has defined the group of fighters as individuals that "may have been trained to build and position improvised explosive devices in order to cause serious deaths and injuries. It is believed that they can travel internationally, to participate in terrorist activities."
The list issued by the global crime fighting agency shows the suspects' names and their details like he date ISIS recruited them, their last likely address including the mosque at which they have been praying while away fighting, their mother's name and any photographs.
