Interpol has urged its 190-member countries to be extra vigilant at the borders following the arrest of top Paris attacks suspect in Belgium.
"The capture of the 26-year-old Belgian-born French national... may encourage any accomplices to attempt to flee Europe, or elsewhere," Dawn quoted a statement issued by Interpol as saying.
The world police body in its statement drew attention about the blank Syrian passport that was found outside the Stade de France stadium, one of the targets of the Paris terror attacks that claimed 130 lives.
It further said that the passport had been recorded in Interpol's Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database in April 2014, adding that it was part of a batch of 1,452 stolen blank passports.
The SLTD, created in 2002 after the September 11 terror attacks in the United States, holds details of some 2,50,000 stolen and lost Syrian and Iraqi passports, of which more than 1,90,000 were reported stolen as blank.
