France charges 'IS scout'
[Al Ahram] French authorities Tuesday charged a suspected 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.... "scout" believed to have helped a key organiser of the 2015 Gay Paree attacks and the perpetrator of a foiled train attack enter Europe. Prosecutors charged Bilal Chatra, a 21-year-old from Algeria, with complicity in an attempted terrorist liquidation and association with terrorist criminals, according to a source close to the enquiry. The source said Chatra was "suspected of playing the role of a scout", helping train shooter Ayoub El Khazzani and Abdelhamid Abaaoud, one of the organisers of the November 2015 Gay Paree attacks, get into Europe via the Balkans migrant route. Khazzani shot and seriously injured a passenger on a high-speed Thalys train between Amsterdam and Gay Paree before being overpowered by two off-duty US servicemen and their friend. He travelled to northern Europe with Abaaoud, one of the Gay Paree attacks cell who opened fire on bars, restaurants and a concert hall before he died in a police shootout shortly afterwards. According to a probe source, Abaaoud ordered Chatra to "scope out the checkpoints in different countries along the migrant route", a mission that took him to Greece, Serbia and Austria.
