Arabic term
مندسّ
Arabic to English
Law/Patents
Media / Multimedia
This term has been used extensively by the Syrian Media to describe the so-called unknown parties shootings demonstrators in Syria (since March 2011).
We need a creative term to be easily understood by the English language speker. We tried hard to find a matching term for this word that describes a person who sneaks among a group that he does not belong to.

: this won't work I'm afraid as "sneaker" is now most commonly used as a word for a kind of gym shoe and so it sounds very odd

: the root is ok "infiltrate", but proposed term (adj. "infiltrated") is not as it is not describing the doer as the asker wanted.
