Daesh has published a detailed travel guide for would-be recruits with information on how to get to Syria and what they should pack, the Daily Mail reported on Saturday.
The 50-page manual called Hijrah, meaning 'holy emigration', includes details of safe houses and routes for Western wannabe jihadists and has been compared to a gap year travel guide.
Aimed specifically at young people, its full title is 'Hijrah to the Islamic State: What to pack up, who to contact and where to go. Stories and more!'
Published in English, it boasts that Daesh members 'live in Turkey in some peace because Turkey fears revenge attacks', enabling them to help Daesh recruits slip over the border into neighboring Syria without being caught.
One militant described as a British recruit claims Turkish soldiers allowed a group of foreign fighters to cross the border into Syria in a section of the manual supposedly containing real testimonials of foreign fighters who have made their way to Daesh-held territory.
But the text does make clear Turkish intelligence agencies should not be considered friends of Daesh and Ankara has only been turning a blind eye to some Daesh activities because of security concerns.
In a development which will worry security services there are references to a CIA manual advising operatives on how to get through airports without 'blowing their cover' which was published by Julian Assange's WikiLeaks.
Once in Turkey recruits can have forged identity documents made to order, the manual claims, thanks to Daesh sympathizers schooled in helping jihadists slip into the fledgling caliphate over the 559-mile border with Syria.
A section entirely for 'sisters' tells them to contact the Daesh Office for Borders in a clear indication the terrorist group is attempting to bolster its legitimacy by acquiring the bureaucratic trappings of a state.
