Paris attacker linked to Mumbai 26/11 strikes reveals new documentary
2021-06-24
[OneIndia] A new documentary has spoken about the involvement of the Gay Paree attack conspirator Muhammad Ghani Usman
...who is not in the Rantburg archives with that spelling...
, a Pak national and Lashkar-e-Tayiba terrorist in the planning and execution of the Mumbai 26/11 attacks.

Usman is currently is in a jail in La Belle France after being arrested in connection with the Gay Paree attack in 2015. The documentary aired by German broadcaster DW aims to find out the financing, planning and commissioning of terror attacks in Europe.

Quoting London based security analyst, Sajjan Gohel, the documentary says, " this man was a key member of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba. It is believed that he was a part of the operations planning for the attacks in Mumbai in 2008. Yet, nothing was done."

It may be recalled that Usman was questioned by the NIA in 2019. The NIA learnt that Usman was in touch with David Headley, the man who conducted the reconnaissance for the 26/11 attacks.

Further the documentary speaks about the major conspiracies hatched by the turbans and also reveals the name of Sajid Mir. "Suspects in the US confirm the existence of Sajid Mir and his role in recruiting and indoctrinating westerners with an aim of sending them back to Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
or the US to carry out attacks in the name of LeT," the documentary said while quoting Jean-Louis Bruguiere, a former French investigative judge, anti-terrorism.

#6  ^ swksvolFF, I'm afraid I haven't seen it yet. I only saw some bollywood turd about 26/11 and refused to watch anything after. It was full of philosophizing on good islam and bad islam, that sorta thing. I know showbiz can't produce anything close to helpful, because it's riddled with islamists and drug money, whichever country you talk about. But I will watch it, now that you've mentioned it.

#5  Dron, since everyone over here pretended the movie Hotel Mumbai didn't exist, do you have a (shareable) opinion of that film?

#2  He isn’t in the archives under Usman Muhammad, either. What is an A/c? I assume it has nothing to do with furnaces and such in this context.

Usman Muhammad of Sahiwal, Pak-Punjab is a mercenary, although trained by the Lashkar e Taiba. He has passable skill in assembling and rigging explosives with a penchant for incendiaries and... p0rn.

Paris let us speak to him at length [about his training, contacts, names he reported to etc] and even conduct chemical assisted interrogation [ahem]. He joins whatever group will pay better and was contracted by intermediaries to strike a blow for ISIS in Europe. His parents who still live in Pak-Punjab disowned him for his 'bad habits', but his friends in Pakistain hail him as a cult hero. He loves motorcycles and wants to own a Harley one day.

Usman and his Algerian buddy came to Greece (Leros island) via boat, with Syrian passport as refugees. His fake name on the passport then was Faical Alayifan. He also ran two online A/cs [I forget the tags] teaching bombmaking and sharing videos of aftermath of blasts.
