Man Returning from Mideast 'Combat Zones' Held at French Airport
2014-09-27
[AnNahar] A young man was detained Friday at an airport in southern La Belle France as he returned from Iraqi or Syrian "combat zones" via Turkey, a source close to the case said.

Aged "less than 20", the French national was on a wanted list and was immediately taken in for questioning by intelligence services after his arrest at Nice airport, the source added, without giving any further details as to whether the man is a suspected jihadist.

La Belle France is on high alert after 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....
jihadists sowing terror in Iraq and Syria issued a call for Moslems to kill citizens from countries involved in a U.S.-led coalition fighting the Death Eaters, "especially the spiteful and filthy French".

It is particularly concerned about nationals going to fight in the Middle East, amid fears they will return to commit attacks on home soil. Prime Minister Manuel Valls has said some 580 French citizens have gone to wage jihad in Syria, of which 189 have already come back.

But on Tuesday, authorities were left red-faced after a series of blunders saw three suspected jihadists walk free out of a French airport after being transferred from Turkish custody.

The government was spared further blushes after the men handed themselves over to police on Wednesday, and the trio are still in jug.

But the incident sparked concern at a time of high alert after the IS threat and the beheading of French national Herve Gourdel by jihadists in Algeria linked to the Islamic State group.

Authorities have since upped security in public places and on transport, and the foreign ministry has widened its vigilance alert for nationals abroad, from around 30 countries earlier this week to some 40 nations -- including Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

#5  Who ever thought it was a good idea to invite the Mohammedans into your country in the first place?


Wiki's link:

Hayridden Barbarossa

What it doesn't state is that the port of call, Marsielle, was so utterly defiled, church's looted and burned, infidels chased out of town, that France had to pay a grand ransom for the pirates to quit and leave, and the town was still ransacked before the pirates sortie.

#1  Who ever thought it was a good idea to invite the Mohammedans into your country in the first place? The cult seems to be incompatible with liberty, freedom, and sanity. Just "politically incorrect" musings on my part, I suppose.
