Liberating troops have put on display dozens of passports, identity cards and credit cards
BRITISH jihadi passports have been discovered by Iraqi security forces in the burned-out ruins of a university in war-torn Mosul.
Iraqi security forces are probing the identities of foreign fighters after the documents were found when the terror thugs fled.
ISIS forces have been thrown out of the campus – with the terror group burning the library and other buildings as they fled.
Now liberating troops have put on display dozens of passports, identity cards and credit cards to show the regime had a foreign legion of jihadists.
The nationalities include a man with a UK passport, according to a picture uploaded to Twitter and Facebook by dissident group .
And British Jihadists captured in the besieged city of Mosul face being handed death sentences by the Iraqi courts.
The Iraqi authorities have a list of 40,000 suspected ISIS members of all nationalities.
And they are now trying around 100 suspected terrorists a month.
