PASSPORT FACTORY BUSTED
http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,3 ... 25,00.html

Detectives have smashed a fake passport factory which was allegedly run by a failed asylum seeker.

They found 200 passports, driving licences, birth certificates and official stamps at a terrace house in Camberwell, south London.

A 27-year-old Nigerian, who had been refused asylum and was living on a false identity, was arrested.

The individual passports could have been sold for around £5,000 each on the black market and would have been priceless in the hands of a terrorist.

The overall black market value of all the documents could have been in excess of £500,000.

They included British, Jamaican, Nigerian and South African and Senegalese passports.

A police source said: "The amazing thing is they could have been made with equipment you can buy in Dixons.

"A terrorist would love to get his hands on them, particularly a British passport, as it would allow them to travel freely through the EU."

The haul included up to 50 passports, up to 30 UK driving licences, up to 30 UK birth certificates and around 50 blank biography pages to be placed in the front of passports.

And why on earth would anyone want to buy a "fake" Naija passport with all its attendant scrutiny at every border - including african borders?

This is old news. It had been reported since January.
Why is it that some folks here just want to bring out the urgly incidents even if they are old stories.
I suspect the motives.
