Thousands of Islamic State documents containing the personal details of fighters, including a Birmingham man and his ex-punk rocker wife, have been leaked.

More than 22,000 documents show the addresses, telephone numbers and family contacts of those who have signed up to join IS, Sky News said.

One of the documents reveals the details of Birmingham-born terrorist Junaid Hussain. His form lists his fighter name “Abu Hasayn Al Britani”, his mother’s maiden name, his date of birth, the fact that he has a secondary level education and was previously an “electronics specialist”.

Computer whizzkid Hussain, formerly of Kings Heath, was ranked third on a US kill list and was previously jailed for hacking Tony Blair’s address book and blocking a government anti-terror hotline with prank calls.

He used a range of encrypted messengers to talk to contacts and persuade recruits to join IS.

It is understood the 21-year-old was killed in a RAF drone attack last year.
