ISIS leak shines light on terrorist group’s recruitment tactics

British broadcaster Sky News has obtained over thousands of ISIS documents purportedly leaked by a disillusioned Free Syrian Army fighter.

They questionnaires containing 23 questions filled out by 22,000 ISIS recruits from around the world and contain information like names, addresses, and blood types. Four names are allegedly from people residing in the U.S. German intelligence has also obtained the same trove, and is in the process of determining its authenticity.
