ISIS killer carried out supermarket rampage after he was summoned to meet anti-terror cops
2018-03-28
[DailyMail] The ISIS gunman who killed four people in La Belle France last week had been summoned to meet anti-terror police shortly before his shooting rampage, it has emerged.

Radouane Lakdim, a Moroccan-born French national, had been on a list of suspected bandidos snuffies since 2014 and was being monitored, sparking criticism of the country's security services.

The 25-year-old killed four people and injured four others on Friday in three separate shootings in the towns of Carcassonne and Trebes, where he took hostages at a supermarket before being rubbed out by police.

A police source has since revealed Lakdim had been sent a letter in March asking him to arrange a face-to-face meeting with agents from La Belle France's domestic intelligence agency DGSI.

Since the violence on Friday, police have placed in durance vile
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
Lakdim's 18-year-old girlfriend, a radicalised Moslem convert, as well as a 17-year-old friend.

A French prosecutor said yesterday that the girlfriend is a radicalised convert to Islam and that she shouted 'holy shit! Allahu akbar' or 'God is Great', when she was arrested.

The woman told Sherlocks that she converted to Islam when she was 16. She denied 'having been informed and associated with the deadly project of her boyfriend,' Gay Paree Prosecutor Francois Molins said during a news conference.

But Molins said the girl posted online a Koran verse 'indicating that infidels were promised to hell' just a few hours before the attacks.

Molins said Lakdim had been listed on a police register for radicalized people since 2014 because of its suspected links with the local Salafist circles. He was still under an ongoing and effective intelligence monitoring in the days leading up to the attacks, the prosecutor said.

But the surveillance didn't allow police to detect any warning signs that he was going to commit a violent action or any intention to go to Iraq or Syria, Molins said. When he was tossed in the calaboose
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
in 2016, the prison administration noticed no visible sign of radicalisation.
