Paris terrorists communicated with IS in Syria before attack

[IsraelTimes] The Death Eaters who carried out Friday's deadly attacks in Gay Paree had communicated beforehand with 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.

reports.

The attackers in Friday's terrorist assault in Gay Paree communicated at some point beforehand with known members of the Islamic State in Syria, officials on both sides of the Atlantic say, adding evidence to the assertions that the radical group coordinated or helped carry out the attacks rather than simply inspiring them.

While the information made available so far about the links between the Islamic State and the Gay Paree attackers was not definitive, it suggested at a minimum that the assailants had not acted totally on their own.

Describing the case for the group's role, American and French officials said the attackers had operated with high levels of sophistication, beyond what would be expected of a plot in which the assailants were merely inspired to act by a radical group rather than being trained or equipped by it.
