France assassinated its own citizens in attacks on Islamic State – report
2017-01-06
[IsralTimes] Le Monde says 8 jihadists were killed in Syria and 5 in Central Africa; 40 assassinations in total.
I'm not sure why this an issue at all. If you're a jihadist you're making war on the west. The fact that you have citizenship among the kaffirs can't be a protection when you're at war with a country, or in this case a civilization.
La Belle France has assassinated some of its own citizens in assassinations on 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....
and other jihadist groups, and each of the attacks was approved by 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...
, Israel Radio reported Thursday.

Citing the French daily Le Monde which gained access to unpublished, relevant documents, the radio station said that strikes killed eight IS commanders who were French citizens in Syria and Iraq. Another five French jihadists have been killed in central Africa.

According to Le Monde, Hollande green-lighted each of the missions, which were mostly carried out by the French Air Force.

La Belle France is one of the nations participating in the US-led coalition against the IS, which seized large areas of Syria and Iraq in recent years and then imposed a brutal interpretation of Islamic law on local people.

In total, La Belle France was behind 40 assassinations that have not been publicized. Most of those on La Belle France’s hit list were killed in US dronezaps.

Hollande has admitted that intelligence in not always clear about who is in a building or vehicle that is targeted.

In some cases, missions have been called off due to concerns that innocent civilians might be harmed.

An autumn 2015 attack on a building in Raqqa, Syria used to train bandidos snuffies for attacks in Europe was canceled because noncombatants might have been killed. The target was Belgium-Moroccan terrorist Abdelhamid Abaaoud, believed to be the ringleader of the November 12, 2015, coordinated attacks in Gay Paree that killed 120 people.

It later transpired that at the time the strike was planned Abaaoud was already in Europe. He was killed on November 18, 2015, in a shootout with French police in Saint-Denis in the followup to the Gay Paree attacks.
