Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Police stopped Paris jihad killer 3 times after attack, released him each time

Nothing to be concerned about. Authorities will have no trouble vetting the Syrian refugees for jihad terrorists.

“Police stopped Europe’s most wanted terrorist THREE times in the hours immediately after the Paris attacks but he was released every time, according to his getaway driver,” by Peter Allen, MailOnline, December 20, 2015:

Police stopped the most wanted terrorist in Europe three times a few hours after the Paris attacks – but he was let free every time, it emerged today.

The astonishing revelations about Salah Abdeslam, 26, highlight the lax security that ultimately allowed Islamic State operatives to murder 130 people at will.

Until today it was thought that Abdeslam, a Belgian-born Frenchman who is still on the run, was questioned once by a traffic patrol on the day after the atrocities.

But investigators have now pieced together his escape following the assault on Paris on November 13th, when the Bataclan music venue, the Stade de France, and restaurants and bars were targeted.

Hamza Attou, a Belgian friend who has been charged with ‘assisting in terrorist activity’ by driving Salah to Brussels, told prosecutors they were stopped ‘not once, but three times’.

The first time ‘the policeman asked us if we had consumed’ drugs, Attou told detectives, the Parisien newspaper reports.

Attou and Mohamed Amri, another Belgian friend of the terrorist who has also been charged, were both smoking a cannabis joint in the front of the getaway car, while Abdeslam ‘remained silent’ in the back.

‘The police said it was not good, but it was not the priority today,’ said Attou. On the other two occasions, the men were asked to show their identity cards.

The last time they were ‘controlled’ was on the motorway at Cambrai, near the Belgian border, and Abdeslam even gave his proper address in the Brussels suburb of Molenbreek.

The men’s getaway car was later found dumped in the same area, but Abdeslam had completely disappeared.

Investigators have now pieced together his escape following the assault on Paris on November 13th, when the Bataclan music venue, the Stade de France, and restaurants and bars were targeted.

Now, more than five weeks on, there have been reports of Abdeslam absconding to Syria, to rejoin Islamic State….

    Nothing a little multiculturalism won’t solve! If we just import more of them, I’m sure the peaceful ones will dissuade the violent ones of their jihadist intentions. And, if not, and a few thousand Europeans die as a result of this miscalculation? Meh. At least they weren’t right-wing islamophobes

      RIGHT!!! Multiculturalism…to stop Muslims from killing us would be intolerant and racist.

      Nothing must identify jihad, nothing must inform about jihad, no one must teach or warn about jihad and no one must defend us from jihad.

      That would be Islamophobic. OBAMA told us authoritatively DON’T FEAR JIHAD!

      WELCOME THE MONOCULTURAL JIHAD of the MOHAMMEDANS. And say we LOVE MUSLIMS when they are slitting our throats.

      How these jihad murderers laugh at us!

    “Syria, to rejoin Islamic State….” via Turkey of course. Another Obamas right hand country against terrorism. Currently I feel I am not living in the World I contributed so much for betterment.

    If I have a choice to vote for Hillary or the devil, I vote for the devil.

        “WHAT DIFFERENCE”???

        It will make a difference to the French police: they are certain to change their procedure after catching and releasing the killer like that!

          Oh, for God’s sake, Mortimer.

          It was a **joke** !!

          As in, the clinton bitch, after Benghazi, and when called to account for the lies she told; ”what difference does it make !”

          So, I was juxtaposing *that*, with BlueRaven saying ‘what is the difference between a vote for Hilary, and a vote for the devil’.

          Oh, never mind. People with no sense of humour, or irony, and who lack perception, are **megabores**.

          Mortimer, sadly I would not assume France or any other Western nation will be changing their suicidal policies.

          I *hope* this will be the case–but so far it hasn’t been.

    The GovMedia parasites will ignore this and triple quadruple down on their Party Line so they can continue French kissing and kitty licking the people they should be protecting us from.
    Rather they are protecting the enemies warring on us by threatening to prosecute Americans for telling the truth about Islamic violence.
    Anyone connecting Islam to terrorism will be smeared and besmirched so GovMedia can continue selling out Americans unimpeded.
    As the bodies begin to pile up, expect GovMedia to begin prosecuting Americans who make the factual connection of violence to Islam.

    See what happens when you ignore your laws and duty?

    Hey – the cop was probably unarmed and alone and figured these a$$holes would off him

    There is another ‘takeaway’ from this story.

    That is, that the frontline cop, Sergeant Plod, *needs* to be fully informed and aware.

    Because it’s the humble beat policeman who, just like in this story, is very likely to stumble across jihadis who are either on their way away from an attack…or on their way *toward* an attack.

    I find it interesting that no fewer than three times, ordinary cops saw fit to stop *just this particular carload* of mohammedans. It’s like their antennae, tuned to pick up the “Doesn’t Look Right” told them “something funny going on here”, but then something else was jamming the signal, preventing them from following all the way through on their initial gut feeling.

    In the UK, a bunch of mohammedthugs who had plotted (but failed to achieve) a jihadi mass murder against members of the EDL, got caught and exposed, because some highway cops picked them up for driving an unlicensed car (or some such violation) and impounded the car ..it wasn’t till some time later that, for some unknown reason, the cops *thoroughly searched* the impounded car (which they should in fact have done at the time of booking), and found all the highly-incriminating items, the improvised bomb and such, that were still inside it. They were still able to trace the plotters, however.

    In the USA, a good many years ago now (the story was reported, and discussed right here at jihadwatch) a couple of blokes on highway patrol booked a car – driven by two Mohammedans – for *speeding*. Their cop spidey-senses, however, began to tingle as they delivered the speeding ticket, and they searched the car…and discovered the home-made bomb in the boot.

    Also in the USA, there was a case – I think it happened in Seattle? – when a mohammedan attacked a Jewish organisation. As he was on his way to carry out the attack he was stopped by a cop…for a *traffic violation**. Imagine if the cop had had his ‘Doesn’t Look Right/ Something Funny Here’ antennae tuned just a bit more strongly, and precisely, and had…searched the car. He would have found the weapon…

    I understand that ACT for America has a campaign called ‘The Thin Blue Line’ aimed at increasing Islanmoawareness, jihad awareness, among frontline cops.

    Very, very important. Worth supporting, by Americans, and worth checking out, by non-Americans, with a view to ‘translating’ it into our own contexts.

    Any jihadwatchers from anywhere, not just the USA, if they have family members, friends, members of their faith community, who are cops, need to be trying to find ways to educate the cop that they know; to make sure s/he knows what jihad is, how it works. And there are lots of ‘cautionary tales’ from all over – tales like this one that we are discussing today – that can be brought up in discussion.
