This article reviews the "mysterious" phenomenon of IDs and Passports of terror suspects routinely discovered (often in the rubble) in the wake of a terrorist attack.
In most cases the alleged suspect was known to the authorities.
Is there a pattern? The ID papers of the suspect are often left behind, discovered by police in the wake of a terrorist attack.
UPDATE: BARCELONA
Reports concerning the Barcelona attack, reveal exactly the same feature of passports and IDs left behind which occurred in Manchester, Paris, Nice, London, New York, and now Barcelona (August 17, 2017) (see below).
A Spanish passport of "a person of Moroccan origin was found at the scene of the attack" according to Britain's Daily Express. The Spanish media reports confirm that the suspect is Spanish from the autonomous city of Melilla which has borders with Morocco. Police sources state that his identity is being used in the investigation.
The reports are notoriously contradictory: the latest Telegraph report (18/08/17) suggests that the suspect who was driving the van is 18 years old by the Name of Moussa Oukabir, and that his brother is Driss Oukabir, 28 years old and that it was his brother who rented the vehicle.
Earlier reports by El País (August 17) stated that the alleged suspect 28-year-old Driss Oukabir, had been arrested by the Police, while El Nacional reported that the suspect:

"presented himself at a Catalan police station in Ripoll to deny having any involvement in this afternoon's attack. He claims his ID was stolen and used by the terrorists to rent one of the vans used for the attack.
Local sources, confirmed by the town's mayor, Jordi Munell, have said that the young man, who lives in Ripoll, attended the police station to deny any involvement in the events" (Daily Express, August 17, 2017)

The report below suggests that the passport discovered in the van provided a lead to "the Alcanar house where bombs were being prepared". Allegedly the passport was found in the van used for the attack in "an accidental explosion that took place on Thursday morning in the town of Tarraconense. This finding allowed linking the terrorist attack in Barcelona with a wounded in the Alcanar accident".

This article reviews the "mysterious" phenomenon of IDs and Passports of terror suspects routinely discovered (often in the rubble) in the wake of a terrorist attack.
In most cases the alleged suspect was known to the authorities.
Is there a pattern? The ID papers of the suspect are often left behind, discovered by police in the wake of a terrorist attack.
According to government and media reports, the suspects are without exception linked to an Al Qaeda affiliated entity.
None of these terror suspects survived. Dead men do not talk.
In the case of the tragic events in Manchester, the bankcard of the alleged suicide bomber Salman Abedi was found in his pocket in the wake of the explosion.
Legitimacy of the official stories? The UK is both a "victim of terrorism" as well as a "State sponsor of terrorism". Without exception, the governments of Western countries which are victims of terror attacks, have supported, directly or indirectly, the Al Qaeda group of terrorist organizations including the Islamic State (ISIS), which are allegedly responsible for waging these terror attacks. Amply documented Al Qaeda is a creation of the CIA.
Below is a review of the circumstances and evidence pertaining to passports and IDs discovered in the wake of selected terror attacks, with links to Global Research articles and media reports (2001-2017). (This list is by no means exhaustive)

No image of the alleged bankcard is available.
Ironically, the suspect Abedi was first identified by Washington rather than UK police and security. How did they know who was the culprit 3 hours after the explosion? According to Graham Vanbergen:
In the early hours of the morning of the 23rd May approximately 02.35BST NDTV via the Washington Post stated quite categorically that:

"U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, identified the assailant as Salman Abedi. They did not provide information about his age or nationality, and British officials declined to comment on the suspect's identity."

This was published at a time when British police and security services were refusing to make any statements as to who they thought the perpetrators were because at the time, they were dealing with the immediate aftermath of the event.

Nice, 14th of July Massacre: Towards Martial Law? The Islamic State (ISIS-Daesh) Claims Responsibility?
By Peter Koenig, July 15, 2016

According to Peter Koenig in relation to the Nice terror attack:


During last night's celebration of the French National Holiday, around 11 PM, a speeding truck plowed into a crowd of thousands who were watching the fireworks along the Mediterranean Boulevard Anglais. The driver of the truck, was simultaneously and indiscriminately shooting into the crowd. He was able to run for 2 kilometers before being stopped by police, which instantly shot and killed him.
A horrendous terror attack, killing hordes of people, spreading pain, misery, fear and outrage in France, Europe the world over.All indications signal the Big Script of yet another false flag; yet again in France.
The young truck-driver was identified as a 31-year-old Frenchman, resident of Nizza, with Tunisian origins. As in previous cases, coincidence' has it that his identity papers were found in the truck.

The young man is instantly killed by the police. Dead people cannot talk. A pattern well known by now.

Paris Charlie Hebdo Terror Attack, January 2015

Police found the ID of Said Kouachi at the Scene of the Charlie Hebdo Shooting. Does this Sound Familiar?
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, January 10, 2015

"According to news reports, police found the ID of Said Kouachi at the scene of the Charlie Hebdo shooting. Does this sound familiar? Remember, authorities claimed to have found the undamaged passport of one of the alleged 9/11 hijackers among the massive pulverized ruins of the twin towers."

The Paris Terror Attacks and 911: Similar "Evidence" Makes it Suspicious
By Timothy Alexander Guzman, November 20, 2015
The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) declared that it was responsible for the latest attacks in Paris as did Al-Qaeda who also claimed responsibility for 911. … However, there are similarities between the terror attacks in Paris and New York City on September 11th.
First, Syrian and Egyptian passports from two of the suicide bombers were found at the scene of the stadium attack in the northern part of the city. After both suspected terrorists detonated their explosive devices, their passports were still found.
This brings us back to the September 11th terror attacks where U.S. officials recovered a passport intact a few blocks from t
he World Trade Center which did belong to one of the hijackers,

Magic Passports Redux: Syrian Passport Allegedly Discovered on Paris Suicide Bomber
By 21st Century Wire, November 14, 2015



In the context of the enquiry about the Paris massacres, a Syrian passport (image right) was found next to one of the kamikaze bombers of Stade de France. After being pointed out as responsible for the attacks by President Hollande, the Islamic State' claimed that they had engineered the onslaught. The French executive, that had already stated tht they wanted to take action in Syria allegedly against ISIS, but actually against Bachar El Assad, who has to go', sees in this a significant clue that comfort their military expedition.

The 7/7 London Bombings and MI5's "Stepford Four" Operation: How the 2005 London Bombings Turned every Muslim into a "Terror Suspect"
By Karin Brothers, May 26, 2017

On Tuesday, July 12th, Lindsay's wife Samantha Lewthwaite had called police to report her husband Germaine ("Jamal") missing. Police searched their home immediately. The next day, on July 14th, police announced that they had Lindsay's ID and he was the fourth bomber. Lewthwaite was incredulous and refused to believe the accusation without DNA proof. The police identification was stunning because they had been claiming that all of the suspects looked Pakistani; there was no way anyone could mistake the big, black Lindsay for an Asian. What had police been looking at?

9/11 Contradictions: Mohamed Atta's Mitsubishi and His Luggage

9/11 Contradictions: Mohamed Atta's Mitsubishi and His Luggage … It also contained a Saudi passport, an international driver's license, …



"In the official version for 9/11 the FBI claimed that they found the unscathed passport of one of the pilots near one of the towers that were reduced to ashes by explosions whose heat melted even the steel columns in the buildings' structure. The fourth plane's crash near Shanksville also yielded a passport which, though scorched, still made it possible to read the person's first name and surname and to see his ID photo. This is all the more disturbing as nothing at all was left in the crater, no part of the plane or of the people travelling in it, only this partly scorched passport.



Confirmed by Dan Rather CBS News, "a passerby found the passport of one of the hijackers" on the street just hours after the 9/11 attacks. (Video at 1′.23″)

According to Who What Why:
The Visa of Satam al-Suqami: This identify document of one of the alleged 9/11 hijackers somehow survived unscathed a few blocks from the twin towers, though the plane itself was virtually obliterated.

Visa belonging to Satam al-Suqami

The Passports belonging to Ziad Jarrah and Saeed al-Ghamdi: The passports of two alleged hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93 supposedly survived the fiery crash in Pennsylvania that left the aircraft itself charred and widely scatteredwith one passport entirely intact.

Remains of Ziad Jarrah's visa.

Passport of Saeed al-Ghamdi

Food for thought?Can we believe the official narrative of HM government?No questions asked. Can we believe the Western media?

Peter Lemkin Wrote:The passport and papers dropped or left in the / near the attack is quite a suspicious thing. In the USA one rarely carries a passport with them when not committing a crime unless that is the only ID one has, and we know that many of the 911 named perps had US military ID and US driver's licenses [which in the USA is the standard/universal ID card one carries]. In Europe one doesn't use a passport these days unless one is going on long-distance flight out of the EU; and persons about to commit a crime usually have either NO identification papers or false ones. In Europe, every country has a national ID card - people just don't carry passports around with them, unless that is the only ID they have - but again, not when committing a crime. Just sayin'.
