French national arrested, accused being IS member
 [Libya Herald] A French national has been captured at an 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.... (IS) training camp and is being held at Benghazi’s Grenada military prison. A video of him was broadcast yesterday by French TV channel M6 but it did not state where he was tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! nor did it name him. It said he was of Algerian origin and from the east of La Belle France. So he's named Rachid, not Jean-Pierre. Questioned by a French news hound, the man said he had been a second-hand car salesman and that was he had gone to Libya planning to move on to Syria and join the Nusra Front, the jihadist organization previously part of al-Qaeda. He had not intended to join IS. He refused to send a message to his family on the basis that French intelligence would then know who he was. There have been reports of European nationals fighting with IS in Libya but this is the first time a suspect has been arrested. Last year two Frenchies were arrested in the south of Tunisia, near the Libyan border, apparently planning to cross over and train in Libya before likewise heading to Syria. They, however, wanted to join IS. Posted by: Fred 2016-11-22 |
