Eiffel Tower may have been target of Spain’s IS cell — report
...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.... cell that attacked Barcelona last year. The protective wall that surrounds the Eiffel Tower was installed after video of a trip to Gay Paree was found in a destroyed hideout, according to the report by researchers Fernando Reinares and Carola Garcia-Calvo in January’s CTC Sentinel, a research publication into terrorism. The cell attacked Barcelona’s La Rambla and a beachside town, killing 16 people in August. Only flawed bomb construction prevented a deadlier attack. The hideout blew up as the cell was assembling explosives. According to the report, based on interviews with Sherlocks and court documents, members of the cell traveled to Gay Paree before the attack, for reasons Sherlocks have yet to determine. There, they bought a camera and filmed the Eiffel Tower. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-01-26 |
