French intelligence officers crack the Telegram account of a notorious ISIS recruiter – leading to the arrests of 10 teenagers in a month
[DailyMail] The encrypted messaging account of a jihadist, believed to be a 'key instigator' of hundreds of ISIS recruits, has been cracked by French intelligence, according to reports.Extremist Rachid Kassim, 29, originally from a town north of Lyon, runs a 'public jihadist channel' on Telegram, a secure messaging app, where he offers guidance on how to carry out attacks in private chats. He is suspected of ordering or inciting the killing of a police couple in their home in June and the murder of an elderly priest in a Normandy church in July, police sources said. The child carer's account, on which he has 317 followers, has led to dozens of arrests, the Daily Telegraph reported - among them, ten teenagers in a month. Kassim's precise role is under investigation, but he is believed to have become a key instigator who directs recruits in encrypted forums on how and where to carry out 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's call for European Moslems to strike at home. He left La Belle France in 2012, and travelled to Egypt with his wife and child. Most recently, he was believed to be in contact with a 19-year-old in an unprecedented cell of French women who failed in their attempts to detonate a boom-mobile near Notre Dame Cathedral and kill police.
