French Police Identify 3 Suspects In Attack That Killed 12
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] French police officials identified three men as suspects in a deadly attack against newspaper offices that killed 12 people and shook the nation on Wednesday.Tear down the mosque they attended. Arrest their friends and relatives. Oh, wait. That would be "backlash." Just send in the grief counselors as usual. Two officials named the suspects as "Frenchies" Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, who are brothers and in their early 30s, as well as 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, whose nationality wasn't immediately clear. Probably also a theoretical Frenchie. One of the officials said they were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network. Perhaps the one they said they were linked to? A witness of Wednesday's shootings at the offices of weekly satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo said one of the attackers told onlookers, "You can tell the media that it's al-Qaeda in Yemen." They probably really worked for the Mossad. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the sensitive and ongoing investigation. They didn't want to be murdered by guys in turbans speaking perfect French, like John Kerry did earlier today. No arrests have been confirmed in the hunt for the attackers. I'll bet they know where ol' John-Pierre is, though. Masked gunnies stormed the offices of Charlie Hebdo, which caricatured the Prophet Muhammad, methodically killing 12 people, including the editor, before escaping in a car. It was La Belle France's deadliest terrorist attack in half a century. I'd have to look that one up. JFM probably knows which one they're talking about, though. Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of terrorism charges for helping funnel fighters to Iraq's insurgency and sentenced to 18 months in prison. I'm sure Human Rights Watch was apalled at the severity of the sentence. During Cherif Kouachi's 2008 trial, he told the court, "I really believed in the idea" of fighting the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. He said he was motivated by his outrage at television images of torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib. I'm sure all sorts of Moslems world-wide would be outraged at the sight of Dr. Guillotine's gift to the Republic lopping the bastard's head off. Shouting " When I was in the Army we used to drill attacking editorial offices all the time. That's what real soldiers do, y'know. located near Gay Paree' Bastille monument. The publication's depictions of Islam have drawn condemnation and threats before - it was Molotov cocktailed in 2011 - although it also satirized other religions and political figures. The B.O. regime tut-tutted about it at the time. Not the other religions, though. President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... said it was a terrorist act "of exceptional barbarism," adding that other attacks have been thwarted in La Belle France in recent weeks. Perhaps M. le President should give some serious thought to hunting tese guys down and killing them? Fears have been running high in La Belle France and elsewhere in Europe that jihadis returning from conflicts in Syria and Iraq will stage attacks at home. Posted by: Fred 2015-01-08 |
