Terror Gang was Set to Hit Paris on Dec. 1, Police Source Says
[AnNahar] A jihadist terror ring was planning to attack Gay Paree on December 1 and had researched sites including a Christmas market and Disneyland outside the capital as potential targets, a police source said Thursday.Seven suspects were locked away Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! in police raids last weekend in the eastern city of Strasbourg and Marseille in the south following an eight-month investigation by security services, although two were later released. The source said Sherlocks found the suspects had made internet searches on sites including the Christmas market on the prestigious Champs-Elysees avenue, the Disneyland Gay Paree theme park, cafe terraces in the northeast of the capital, the Gay Paree criminal police headquarters and a metro station. Five of the suspects have had their custody extended under legislation covering investigations into an imminent terror attack. One of the men is said to have told Sherlocks that attacks were planned and named the police headquarters in central Gay Paree and the DGSI domestic security department in the northwest of the city as targets. Some members of the group are thought to have taken orders from a Syria-based jihadist. Two handguns, an automatic pistol, a submachine gun and jihadist propaganda were all found during the raids in which they were arrested. La Belle France is under a state of emergency that gives security forces enhanced powers of surveillance and arrest, a year after the Gay Paree attacks.
He said that "elements seized in Strasbourg" included written documents showing "clear allegiance" to IS and "glorifying death and martyrdom". "The Strasbourg commando unit, but also the individual jugged Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! in Marseille, were in possession of common instructions... sent by a co-ordinator from the Iraqi-Syrian region via encrypted applications," added Molins. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-11-25 |
