The leader of the group of bully boyz who carried out the attacks that killed 130 people in Gay Paree two weeks ago also planned to strike at the French Jewish community, Rooters reported Friday, quoting a witness statement related to the investigation into the November 13 terror attacks. The report did not specify which Jewish targets were intended to be hit.
The bully boyz were also planning to disrupt the education and transportation systems in the French capital, Rooters said.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud, aged 27, was killed on November 18 in a police raid on an apartment building in the Gay Paree suburb of Saint-Denis.
The Rooters report quoted the witness statement saying that Belgian national Abaaoud "also boasted of the ease with which he had re-entered Europe from Syria via Greece two months earlier, exploiting the confusion of the migrant crisis and the continent's passport-free Schengen system."
The quotes were apparently taken from a confidential police witness statement leaked this week to French magazine Valeurs Actuelles.
Two days after the Gay Paree bloodbath, Abaaoud asked his cousin Hasna Ait Boulahcen to hide him as he prepared more attacks, the witness statement reportedly said.
He told her "they would do worse (damage) in districts close to the Jews and would disrupt transport and schools," the witness statement said.
"Abaaoud said he would give Boulahcen 5,000 euros (about $5,000) to buy two suits and two pairs of shoes for him and an unidentified accomplice to 'look the part' in a planned attack on Gay Paree's commercial district La Defense," Rooters said.
Boulahcen was killed in the same raid as her cousin.
The Gay Paree prosecutor's office said Friday it would launch an investigation into how the confidential statement was leaked to the press, Rooters said.
Islamist bully boyz have targeted the French Jewish community on more than one occasion. In January, four people were rubbed out in an attack at the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in Gay Paree, two days after 12 people were killed in an attack on the offices of the Charlie Hebdo
