| Man ‘claiming IS allegiance’ kills cop, woman in Paris | |||
| 2016-06-14 | |||
A man who claimed allegiance to 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 stabbed a French policeman to death on Monday night before he was killed in a dramatic police operation, sources close to the investigation said. A news agency linked to the Islamic State claimed the attack, a US-based monitor said. The SITE Intelligence Group, based just outside Washington, cited the Amaq News Agency as saying: "Islamic State fighter kills deputy chief of the cop shoppe in the city of Les Mureaux and his wife with blade weapons near #Gay Paree." French prosecutors have launched an anti-terror probe after the policeman and his partner were killed at their home in the Gay Paree suburb of Magnanville. Witnesses told Sherlocks the man may have shouted " Sources close to the inquiry told AFP the attacker had claimed allegiance to the Islamic State jihadist group while negotiating with police from the elite RAID unit. "The anti-terror department of the Gay Paree prosecution service is taking into account at this stage the mode of operation, the target and the comments made during negotiations with the RAID," one source said. Loud detonations were heard at the scene as RAID officers moved in following failed negotiations with the attacker. Officers found the woman’s body when they stormed the building, and the attacker was killed during the assault, interior ministry front man Pierre-Henry Brandet said. The couple’s young son was "in shock but unharmed," a prosecutor added, saying he was receiving medical attention. French President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... said a meeting would be held at the presidential palace Tuesday morning, declaring that "all light will be shed" on the bloody incident. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve expressed his "infinite sadness" at the death of the police commander and his partner, who had worked for his ministry. "The attacker was neutralized by RAID forces, who showed great composure and great professionalism and who saved the couple’s little boy," Cazeneuve said in a statement. "The inquiry opened by the justice authorities will establish the precise circumstances of this tragedy." Police sources had told AFP earlier in the evening that the attacker had taken the policeman’s partner and son hostage after stabbing the officer to death as he returned home around 9:00 pm (1900 GMT). "The negotiations were unsuccessful -- a decision was made to launch an assault" around midnight, interior ministry front man Brandet said.
Abbala was from the western Paris suburb of Mantes-la-Jolie and was sentenced in 2013 to three years in prison, including six months suspended, for recruiting fighters for jihad in Pakistan, according to two police officials. The officials were not authorized to be publicly named discussing ongoing investigations. Two other security officials said Abbala recorded a video during the knife attack. One of them said the assailant posted the video on Facebook Live, the social media site's live feed. A Facebook profile bearing the name Larossi Abballa -- which vanished from the internet early Tuesday -- showed a photo of a smiling, bearded man. Two recent posts featured videos critical of Israel and Saudi Arabia. The last post publicly available was a mock-up of the European Championship logo highlighting the posters' purported masonic and occult symbols. "Some will say we see evil everywhere!" Abballa said in a message posted about 18 hours before the attack. One police official said at one point in the video, the assailant puzzled over what to do with the couple's child.
Abballa was responding to IS calls to “kill non-believers where they live,” and with their families, Molins said. Aballa recorded a 12-minute video related to the attack and posted it on Facebook, Molins said, but he did not provide further details or confirm an earlier report from a police official who said Abballa posted the video on Facebook’s live-streaming service, Facebook Live. Molins said three people —ages 27, 29 and 44 — were detained Tuesday in the investigation. He did not provide any other details. A resident of the apartment building where Abballa lived, who did not want to give his name, said police raided it early Tuesday. Neighborhood resident Henriette Yenge, who lives and works near the building, said she would say hello to Abballa when he went to the mosque around the corner. “He was a neighborhood kid,” she said. “I was surprised it was him. It’s sad to see things like that.” | |||
