Mystery deepened over a Paris attacker who traveled to Europe via Greece and the Balkans, after French officials said Monday that the Syrian passport he had used was indeed a fake.

Authorities in France and Greece have said that fingerprints taken from the remains of a suicide bomber outside France’s national sports stadium, the Stade de France, match the prints of a man who entered Europe via the Aegean island of Leros on Oct. 3.

Police on Leros registered the man under the identity in the passport he showed them: Ahmad AlMohammad, 25, from Syria. The same passport was found near the man’s body outside the stadium on Friday night.

Who cares if it was a fake. IT WORKED!!! How did a fake passport get clearance? Who was the guy on-site that let this death dealer in and how did he not see it was faked? Did he not scan the passport? Did he not see the tell-tales of fakery? What was it about that passport that this border agent missed?
