Eight Bulgarians Charged with Supporting Islamic State
[AnNahar] Eight Bulgarians were indicted Tuesday on charges of supporting the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group jihadist group, the public prosecutor's office said. Six men from the central cities of Plovdiv, Pazardzhik and Asenovgrad were jugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! on Tuesday morning and arrest warrants were issued for another two suspects who were still being sought, the prosecutors said in a statement. The eight, from the Moslem Roma minority,
The arrests are part of an investigation that began with a raid last year on a mosque in Pazardzhik, whose imam is accused of promoting radical ideology. Seven people, including the imam -- who had been given a jail sentence for promoting radical ideology in his sermons but remained free pending his appeal -- were arrested in that operation. During searches of the homes of some of the accused and the mosque, Sherlocks confiscated videos with preachings that praised jihadists in Syria and urged other Moslems to join their ranks. Some of the defendants were also shown posing in Islamic State T-shirts. The group is suspected of having followers among Moslem communities in Germany, La Belle France and the Netherlands and of helping jihadists travel to Syria and Iraq via Bulgaria and ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... . Thousands of western Europeans have traveled to Iraq and Syria to fight alongside snuffies groups such as Islamic State. The government in Sofia says it has no knowledge of any Bulgarians having traveled to the Middle East for jihad. Bulgarian law does not currently bar would-be jihadists from traveling abroad. The justice ministry has proposed adding such a ban to the statute books. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-04-01 |
