| Spain: Police arrest Moroccan for Islamic State group ties [Ynet] MADRID - Spain's Interior Ministry said Tuesday police have tossed in the slammer You have the right to remain silent... a Moroccan who was preparing to travel to Syria to join the 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.... group. A ministry statement said the 32-year-old man used his restaurant in the northern city of Pamplona to show and distribute IS videos and photographs. He also worked to recruit Italy, Kosovo police arrest four jihadist suspects [Ynet] MILAN - Italian and Kosovan police have placed in durance vile Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! four Kosovars suspected of being part of a jihadist cell that spread Islamist propaganda and made threats against Pope Francis, justice officials said on Tuesday. The four, three of whom were arrested in Italia and one in Kosovo, are all suspected of "condoning terrorism" and "inciting racial hatred", Italian police said in a statement. A police official said the four were very active on the Internet, promoting their pro-jihadist cause, but did not appear to have been involved in any specific plots. "They were threatening the pope, celebrating the recent attacks in Gay Paree and threatening the former US ambassador to Kosovo," said Carmine Esposito, a police chief in the northern Italian city of Brescia, where the investigation was based. Georgia arrests 4 for suspected Islamic State ties [Ynet] TBILISI - Georgian security services have announced the arrest of four men suspected of having ties to the Islamic State group. The deputy head of the security services, Levan Izoria, said Tuesday that the four were locked away Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! after searches of their homes on Sunday turned up hand guns, grenades, audio and video discs and flags of the Islamic State. He said Sherlocks were now working to establish the extent of their involvement with the Lion of Islam group operating in Syria and Iraq. The suspects are from the western Guria region near the Black Sea, home to many Muslims in the predominantly Christian former Soviet republic. Most previous arrests in Georgia for suspected IS ties and recruitment efforts have involved people from the northeastern Pankisi Gorge, the home of many ethnic Chechens. France Arrests Two Men 'Who Tried to Join IS in Libya'
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! attempting to join Islamic State fighters in Libya via neighboring Tunisia are now being held in Gay Paree, a judicial source told AFP Monday. The suspects, aged 19 and 20, who told authorities they were on their way to a training camp so they could fight in Syria, were locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! in southern Tunisia and flown to La Belle France on November 13, the day of the Gay Paree attacks. It is the first time French citizens have been held trying to join jihadists in Libya, where an IS affiliate group holds the city of Sirte, the hometown of the country's deposed leader Muammar Qadaffy ... who had more funny outfits than Louis XIV... The two men, one from Lyon and the other from the southern port of Marseille, did not know each other before meeting up in Tunisia, a source said. The 20-year-old girlfriend of one of the men, a convert to Islam who authorities said had at one stage intended to join her partner in Libya, has also been charged with terrorist offenses. Security officials in the north African country believe that the jihadists who carried out the bloody attacks on the Bardo Museum in the capital Tunis in March, and on tourist hotels in Sousse in June, were trained in Libya. | |

| #4 So is European encounters of the jihad kind gonna be a regular feature now? I think on days when a lot of small arrests happen, yes, Ebbang Uluque6305. On (hopefully rare) bad days, like the Paris attacks when there were frequent updates over the course of the day, we'll handle it as we have, Shipman -- a post for the beginning of events, then updates in the thread as we go along and cross-links to other articles as appropriate. And on days when only one or two things happen, each can have its own post. Thanks to our uniquely clever president, 70 post days have become common; I find dealing with that much information overwhelming if I can't organize it into fewer chunks. |

| #1 But it's not Islam. Well, not real Islam because anything that smells of the original as practiced by Mo is not associated with the term by you know who. /sarc off |
