2016-01-10 | |||
[dw.com] German police have raided a shelter for asylum seekers that they say was occupied by the man killed as he stormed a Gay Paree cop shoppe. Authorities did not say whether the man was registered as an asylum seeker. German police have said the man who attempted to attack a French cop shoppe in northern Gay Paree on Thursday had lived in a shelter for asylum seekers in the western German state of North-Rhine Westphalia. State authorities on Saturday night raided the shelter in Recklinghausen, police said in a statement. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... they did not specify whether the man was indeed registered as an asylum seeker. The man was rubbed out by French police after he tried to storm the station carrying a meat cleaver and wearing a fake boom jacket. German police added that investigations are ongoing, and that they are working in close cooperation with French authorities. The man was believed to be of Tunisian descent, although German media reported that he also had four different aliases with different backgrounds, including Moroccan.

#1 According to this article the individual did apply for asylum under one of his four identities. He was housed in a shelter in Recklinghausen. In Septempber of 2015 he painted the IS symbol on wall in the shelter and posed with the IS flag for a photograph also in the shelter. Thus state authorities thus classified him as a "suspect case." In December of 2015 he vanished from Recklinghausen without a trace. |
