A Swedish national of Iraqi origin, identified by the initials H.S., was also detained. He was accused of forging the entry and departure stamps on the passports of the 15 Iraqis, according to the General Security statement.

The suspect confessed to forming a cell with two other Iraqis, identified by their initials A.S. and H.Kh., who reside in Sweden, to provide people with forged Danish residency permits and stamps on their passports. https://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2015/Oct-07/317945-author...
