Pence is wrong: Syrian refugees didn’t commit the Paris attacks

“Two Syrian refugees were involved in the attack of Paris [of 11/13]” — Mike Pence

Governor Pence is wrong: None of the Paris attackers were Syrian refugees. And though a Syrian passport was found at the scene of the crime, it was fake.

Top officials, including European Commissioner for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini, have said that all the attackers were EU citizens: Most of the attackers were actually born in either Belgium or France — including the ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who was born in a suburb of Brussels.

Earlier this month, though, Hungarian security officials did tell a British newspaper that the majority of the attackers posed as refugees in order to return from Syria after training in the country.
