Germany says so-called Islamic State files 'probably genuine'

2016-03-11 1

Germany's interior minister has said stolen files detailing thousands of recruits to the Islamic State group can be assumed to be genuine.

Thomas de Maiziere said the information could help with prosecutions of IS fighters, and help prevent future recruitment to the militant group.

The files obtained by German and UK media are said to identify IS recruits from 50 countries.

They contain names, addresses, phone numbers and skill sets.
