Spanish police arrested Pakistani Malik Imtanan Sarwar in Barcelona who had links to a Thai passport forgery ring that supplied forged documents to al Qaeda terrorists. 10 other men were arrested in December in both Spain and Thailand on similar charges. Sarwar worked to secure funds for the plot and to steal Spanish passports, which he then sent to Thailand where they were forged. The ringleader, a Pakistani man living in Thailand, gave the thieves specific details about the type of passports to be stolen, such as the nationalities and ages of the passport holders. The overall goal of the ring was to allow al Qaeda members to more easily pass European and Western borders.
