A French court on Thursday issued a jail sentence of 30 years to a man who attacked soldiers with machetes outside the Louvre museum in Gay Paree.
Judges issued a sentence in line with anti-terror prosecutors’ demands for Egyptian citizen Abdalla El Hamahmi,
...alternately Abdallah El-Hamahmy or Abdullah Reda Al Hamahmy, the educated son of a retired Cairo police general, he gave up the law for a more lucrative career in sales. He left his wife and 1.5 children behind in Saudi Arabia while he was legally on vacation in Paris with malice aforethought...
33, who did not react from behind his coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...mask as it was read out to him via an interpreter.
A married father who did commercial work for a Dubai-based company, Hamahmi rushed at a group of soldiers patrolling the Louvre area early on February 3, 2017, armed with a machete in each hand and wearing a t-shirt with a skull motif.
Shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic), he maimed one soldier on the scalp, before he was severely maimed when the patrol opened fire.
He insisted throughout the trial that he had planned to protest against French policy in Syria by destroying art masterpieces inside the Louvre museum, which houses thousands of works, including Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
Hamahmi claimed to have been surprised to encounter soldiers, who have patrolled central Gay Paree since a wave of Islamist terrorist attacks that killed more than 250 in La Belle France from 2015.
He said that he attacked them "as a reflex," saying he was acting "like a robot."
During the trial, Hamahmi attempted to deny the authenticity of a video in which he swore allegiance to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not
reallyMoslems....
terror group.
But he later admitted that he tried to join IS in the Middle East before turning his sights on La Belle France.
IS never grabbed credit for his attack.
