| 2017-07-28 | |
Algerian security forces have foiled a terror plot criminal masterminded by a terrorist with links to La Belle France-based jihadist Amedy Coulibaly and 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, the al-Khabar daily reported Thursday. Citing "well-placed security sources," the newspaper said early results of an investigation "show a strong link between the head of the terrorist cell" and Coulibaly, who in 2015 killed a municipal police officer then four hostages in a Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in Gay Paree before being killed. The alleged head of the Algerian cell, Mohammed Yacine Aknouche, was sentenced by a French court in 2004 to eight years in prison for taking part in a failed plan to blow up a Christmas market in the eastern city of Strasbourg. The French-Algerian dual national was placed in durance vile Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! Tuesday along with a minor and a third person whose identity has not been revealed, in Ain Tagourait, 60 kilometers (40 miles) west of Algiers, al-Khabar said. During a raid on Aknouche’s apartment, security forces found "dozens of photos" of places he was hoping to attack, including army installations, it said. Algerian security forces are "trying to determine the type of relationship" between Aknouche and Coulibaly after discovering electronic conversations between the two men, al-Khabar said. It said the investigation had uncovered a link between Aknouche and "murderous attacks in European countries... committed by ISIS", an Arabic acronym for IS. Algerian authorities declined to give AFP further details. | |
