[IsraelTimes] Suspected jihadis nabbed in wave of arrests after weapons cache sparks fear of ’imminent attack in La Belle France or Belgium’
According to a source close to the inquiry, the man -- whose name was not given but who was known to the authorities for being radicalized -- was placed in durance vile Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! near the northern city of Lille. Gay Paree prosecutors have opened an inquiry on suspicions of terrorist conspiracy. The suspect is believed to be connected to Akim and Khalid Saouti, two brothers who were charged in Brussels on Wednesday with belonging to a "terrorist group" and were believed to be planning an attack with a large stash of weapons including Kalashnikov rifles. The pair, who were arrested the previous night in the Brussels suburb of Anderlecht, are brothers of convicted jihadist Said Saouti, a member of the Kamikaze Riders, a notorious bikers’ club based in Brussels. Last year, Saouti was incarcerated Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! for six years for recruiting people to jihadist organizations and supporting 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.... (IS) group on social media. The French suspect has been incarcerated Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! four times for acts of violence and theft and was put under surveillance after leaving prison in May 2015 where he was believed to have been radicalized. He was then observed making several trips to Belgium, where he met the Saouti brothers with all of them seen handling bags at a garage in Anderlecht. "The fear of an imminent attack in La Belle France or Belgium led to a wave of arrests," a source close to the probe said, referring to last week’s raids. Inside the garage, they found a box containing three Kalashnikov rifles, a pump-action shotgun, three handguns, four detonators and ammunition as well as uniforms from the police, the security forces and the emergency services. One of the bags they were seen handling was found at the French suspect’s home, containing several kilos of jewels, the source said. Jihadist propaganda and footage of suicide kabooms were also found on his computer. Investigators from a joint Franco-Belgian operation had on Wednesday confirmed arresting a 42-year-old man just outside Lille on suspicion of links to the Kamikaze Riders who was planning a "violent attack." | |
