Austria-Held Moroccan, Algerian Accused of Paris Attacks Link

Posted to keep track of the progression of these particular links in the chain of persons leading from the Paris attacks last November to ISIS.
[AnNahar] Austria's state prosecutor said Thursday it had charged a Moroccan and an Algerian with intent to take part in the November 13 Gay Paree attacks which left 130 people dead.

The prosecutor's office in the western city of Salzburg said the unnamed pair, aged 26 and 40, were presumed accomplices of 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

 at a refugee center in Salzburg near the German border on December 18 over suspected membership of IS and have been charged with "participation in a terrorist organization, IS."

The pair are thought to have provided logistical assistance and "information on establishing contacts" to two other suspected members of the Gay Paree cell, 29-year-old Algerian Adel Haddadi and Mohamad Usman, a 35-year-old Pak.

The latter pair were arrested at the same refugee center on December 10 and extradited to La Belle France in July.

Investigators believe Haddadi and Usman traveled to the Greek island of Leros on October 3 on the same boat full of refugees with two men who took part in the November 13 attacks.

Those two, thought to be Iraqis, blew themselves up outside the Stade de La Belle France, one of a series of assaults by around 10 people in the French capital.

Haddadi and Usman were held up, detained by Greek authorities for 25 days because they had falsified Syrian passports.

Once let go, they followed the main migrant trail and eventually made it to Austria some days after the Gay Paree attacks.

Another man, Moroccan Abid Tabaouni, arrested in Belgium in July and believed linked to Haddadi and Usman -- allegedly refugee center roommates -- was extradited to Austria last month.
