| IS Flag, Pledge Found in Car of French Military Base Suspect |
| 2017-05-06 |
[An Nahar] French authorities placed in durance vileMaw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! a suspected radical on Friday close to an airbase, finding guns nearby as well as an allegiance pledge 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.... and several of the group's flags in his car, sources close to the case said. The pledge was on a computer flash drive discovered, along with the flags, in the ex-soldier's vehicle. A shotgun and two vintage pistols were also discovered hidden near the base in Evreux, which is northwest of Gay Paree, the sources said. The discovery comes two days before La Belle France votes in the presidential election run-off. Police arrested the suspect early Friday after finding his car near the base. Gay Paree anti-terror prosecutors are investigating, but it is not clear why he was in the area. The suspect, who was born in 1983, converted to Islam and has been under close surveillance since 2014 due to his radicalization. The election campaign has been overshadowed by security worries. Karim Cheurfi, a 39-year-old Frenchie, shot and killed a police officer and maimed two others on the Champs Elysees avenue days before the first round of voting, in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group. Cheurfi was killed by police gunfire. Greenpeace activists on Friday pulled off a daring stunt in central Gay Paree, attaching a giant banner to the Eiffel Tower and leaving police to admit security "flaws" at a time when terror fears remain high. |
