(National-UAE) Battlefield evidence, including wedding invitations and terrorist plot lists, have been used across Europe to prosecute returning foreign fighters, a report has revealed.
ISIS and Al Qaeda militants have been prosecuted by at least 10 EU nations with help from battlefield evidence provided by the US.
The 2020 Memorandum on Battlefield Evidence, published by crime agency Eurojust on Tuesday, showed its use in prosecutions had grown in the past two years.
Evidence included photos depicting crimes committed against civilians, fingerprints on explosive devices and emails describing terrorist plots.
In more unusual examples, the discovery of wedding invitations, marriage certificates and wills also helped win convictions.
