Unusual pizza order delivers police to hideout of Paris jihad mass murderer Salah Abdeslam

Mar 21, 2016 8:51 am By Robert Spencer

“One large pie with the severed heads of Infidels, please.” No, actually, it was just the quantity ordered that gave away the hideout of Salah Abdeslam.

Islam Pizza

“Unusual pizza order delivers police to hideout of Paris terrorist Salah Abdeslam,” NineMSN, March 20, 2016:

An unusual pizza order led police to the safe house of one of the masterminds behind the Paris terror attacks, ending a four-month manhunt.

Salah Abdeslam, 26, who masterminded the logistics behind the November 13 attacks on the French capital that left 130 people dead, was discovered hiding at a friend’s flat.

The home was just metres from the house in which Abdeslam had grown up in Molenbeek, Brussels – an area which has come under increased scrutiny in recent months after it was discovered three of the terrorists in the Paris attacks, including Abdeslam, were raised there.

Police first suspected Abdeslam was in the area after they found his fingerprints on a glass at a nearby property that was raided as part of the manhunt.

Abdeslam’s friend, Abid Aberkan, had been under surveillance since attending the funeral of Abdeslam’s brother, Brahim – a fellow Paris terrorist.

Brahim Abdeslam had blown himself up outside the Stade de France.

March 20, 2016: After a four-month manhunt, Salah Abdeslam was arrested yesterday in the Molenbeek district of Burssels. Professor Joseph Siracusa joined us.

Police were fairly certain that Aberkan was harbouring Abdeslam, but it wasn’t until the pizza order that their confidence was confirmed.

“We were fairly confident he was there but the giveaway was the pizza order,” a police source told The Sun.

Aberkan’s mother ordered six pizzas. With police knowing that only three people lived in the property, they raided it and recovered Abdeslam….

    Why didn’t the police just ask his long time neighbors where he was?
    Oh They were Muslims.

    It seems the whole rioting Muslim community of his neighbors were busy harboring Abdeslam so he could attack again.

    Have Muslims no shame at all?

          You have to go in the head of muslims to understand.

          Salah Abdeslam didn’t do anything wrong , he was applying

          only the rules of his religion. He didn’t kill anyone , he just applied Allah’s

          law: fight anybody who do not live by Allah’s rules. Salah Abdeslam was just

          doing acts of justice. 9 /11 was an act of justice too. So there is no shame to

          have . Just be proud of such a son , such a community . such a religion , such

          a prophet , such a god .m

      Now Jay, I love your posts and have never had occasion to reproach you. But now I must. The question, ‘Have Muslims no shame at all?’ is quite unworthy of you!

      I presume however that you were asking it rhetorically.

      But if you weren’t, permit me to respond to that question. NO. Muslims have NO shame. None at all.

      If they did they’d have long since apostasized in such numbers that they’d have confounded the koranic imperative, to ‘kill all those who leave allah’. But they haven’t done that, have they? So in addition to being utterly shameless, they’re cowards, into the bargain.

      Jay Boo, they have attacked again in Brussels with at least 28 dead to avenge the capture of this Muslim scumbag. Here are the consequences of allowing large numbers of Muslims to immigrate, but don’t tell the half-wit prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau who is considering 300,000 Muslim immigrants.

      Mar 21, 2016 at 6:34 pm

      What beats me is why the police made this public.

      We. don’t. need. to . know. this. It’s funny, but … I could live without knowing it. All I need to know is that the French and Belgian cops found the fleeing jihad gang boss. I don’t need to know the details.

      Because the friends of the bad guys don’t need to know what it was that enabled the cops to figure out where they were.

      We’re in a war. And in a war, when your enemy makes a stupid mistake, you *don’t* let him know that it was *that* stupid mistake that allowed you to figure out where he was or what he was up to.

      The next lot of jihadis hiding out at a friend’s house will know NOT to make a suspiciously large pizza order.

      • Peggy says

        Mar 21, 2016 at 6:40 pm

        They’ll probably have a large Chinese food order.
        Still ordering six pizzas when there is three people living in a flat is not enough to get suspicious. There had to be more reasons.
        The woman could’ve had friends or family over for a party. No, that can’t be it. Muslims are not allowed to have any fun at all.

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 21, 2016 at 6:48 pm

          They already suspected this bunch, Peggy. The large pizza order was just the latest anomaly.

        Mar 22, 2016 at 6:50 am

        I agree 100% with dumbledoresarmy. We don’t need to know how the cops tracked down the Islamo-psychos, and more importantly the next group of Islamo-psychos (and believe, there is no shortage of them) shouldn’t be tipped off on how to avoid detection. But then again, if the cops didn’t reveal the pizza connection, the Muzzie terrorist “community” would claim they were being profiled, discriminated against, and will be demanding compensation for racism. And if there’s one thing we don’t want, it’s to be accused of racism. Terrorists are people too, you know, and we don’t want to hurt their feelings by making them feel unwelcome.

        Mar 22, 2016 at 7:42 am

        Could not agree with you more. The Police should keep such information top secret . Including the fact the culprit’s fingerprints were found.

        I wonder if Europe would give him death penalty or obsess over appeasing ‘human rights brigade’. And keep allowing in more muslim migrants .

      • Lenny Thetruth says

        Mar 22, 2016 at 1:06 pm

        You fail to see that the world at large does not understand the meaning of war. They are used to death. It happens everywhere. Some people think it is a small criminal element within the Islamic community and look no further. We will not tolerate a war against us, but that is true only if we understand it is war.

        Most people live away from Islam. It does not affect their daily life, so even if they know something has happened, somewhere, it is not their problem. Like drivers, they fall asleep at the wheel. They don’t realize the road is that long or the journey that far. They think they are not subject to the rules that apply to others. Nobody is immune to this.

      Here’s a grimly hilarious article in Al Jazeera about this ugly Mohammedan neighborhood:

      “A message from Molenbeek: ‘We are not terrorists'”

      Residents of the community in Brussels fight the labels attached to their area.

      http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2015/11/message-molenbeek-terrorists-151119073154697.html

      Notice the clueless Belgian dhimmis who gathered in “solidarity” with the Jihad-supporting Muslims there.

      Only bright spot–even on Al Jazeera, most of the comments are pretty Islamo-savvy, and are *not* buying this false victim-mongering bs.

    It’s about time the police got serious and the politicians too. They have to stop assuming that Muslims don’t support terrorism.

    One in six Muslims supports terrorism (15%). That’s a large number everywhere. If they are not jihadists, they will harbor, feed and aid the terrorists.

        Sorry , it is not hard to know how many peoples live in any house in

        Western world. Cebsus are nade regularly by all govvernments. Cities know

        how many peoples live in an appartment . At each election, federal , state or

        provincial , municipal , there is an official relevé .

        For one , I went on internet to get the adress and phone number

        of a high school friend I didn’t have saw for 40 years. I learn he got maried, he

        had two daughters, the names of these, the aderess of his house , phone num-

        bers, adress of his hardware store, morgage left on his house , city taxes etc…

        By Google , I could get the view of the house with the cars in

        front , the flowers , the trees .Garage door was open and I could see the paper-

        board of his new shower. For two or more dollars,I was offered more informa-

        tions such his last city or highway tickets, his criminal record if he had one ,

        abd when he was named on local newspapers, in parish bulletin etc…I could

        knew if he play golf , his handicap , last time he win something etc… Today

        almost all your life is on internet.

        A friend , m.d., I could see the checks he received for

        social work in the county . 3500 $ to visit a farm etc….

        If I go in your house, I can tell when you were at the grocery

        store, the day , the hour , the minute, what you bought so what you eat . Don’t

        ever leave your grocery cash receipt in your car.

        Once, Mastercard in USA could follow Poutine in Russia

        where and when he was buying his vodka , cigars ,newspaper, shows’s tickets,

        gaz etc… Private life? Not much left.

    • Angemon says

      Mar 21, 2016 at 10:13 am

      All they had to do was ask. Ask the people in the house who lives there and ask the pizza shop to let them know of any orders meant to address such and such.

      Or ask the phone company to tap their phones – that would work too…

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 21, 2016 at 4:37 pm

      IMF, I care about privacy, as well. But do you *really* have a problem with police tracking down a fugitive Jihadist?

  7. mortimer says

    Mar 21, 2016 at 9:55 am

    If police and intelligence services were given the proper teaching concerning the jihad doctrine, kafir doctrine, vigiliante doctrine and revenge doctrine of Islam, they would be able to find jihadists and jihad sympathizers much more easily.

    The pc culture has prevented general knowledge of jihadism among the police.

    • Peggy says

      Mar 21, 2016 at 6:43 pm

      They have access to the internet just like we do. How did we find out?

    Unfortunately, this discovery led to the Universal Jihadist Kinda muslims Clubs issuing the following directive in order to not become so visible: …

    Police were fairly certain that Aberkan was harboring Abdeslam, but it wasn’t until the pizza order that their confidence was confirmed.
    __________________

    I must be missing something. I fail to see how an order for six pizzas confirmed that Abdeslam was in the flat.

    Curious story.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 21, 2016 at 5:09 pm

      Ashley, it didn’t *prove* Salah Abdeslam was there. But police knew there were only three official residents there, and I’m sure the place was under surveillance, so the cops knew they didn’t have guests.

      The already suspected that the Jihadist was holing up there, and this added to their suspicions enough that they raided the place. Bingo!

      • Ashley says

        Mar 21, 2016 at 9:06 pm

        Thanks, graven. But I’m still at a loss. I can’t connect the dots between six pizzas between three residents resulting in “confirmation” that Abdeslam was holed up in the flat. I guess what I’m grasping at is that a large pizza order somehow tipped the scale…

        Just glad they caught the prick.

  15. SoCalMike says

    Mar 21, 2016 at 4:01 pm

    there’s more to this story than the pizza order…

    • Ashley says

      Mar 21, 2016 at 9:22 pm

      There has to be…how can a large pizza order set off alarms? People do all sorts of crazy shit…eat cold pizza, freeze a couple of pizza pies, etc… I don’t see the red herring here.

      I get that the authorities were honing in on that residence prior to pizza-gate…they already suspected Abdeslam was in the flat. Just confused on how the pizza order “confirmed” their suspicions…

  16. billybob says

    Mar 21, 2016 at 4:12 pm

    So did they get the pizza in the end? Did the cops intercept and eat the pizzas before the raid? Did they raid the people while they were eating the pizza? What kind of pizzas were they, anyhow? Inquiring minds want to know.

    • Champ says

      Mar 21, 2016 at 4:24 pm

      Perhaps the person calling in the pizza order made a huge *fuss* insisting that the pizzas be 100% halal–thereby alerting police even more, lol!

  17. JimmyB says

    Mar 21, 2016 at 4:24 pm

    Wow! Now you are only limited to buy one Pizza per person, and not more, so that it would last for a couple of meals extra. Police state tyranny in it’s diabolical form. George Orwell would be proud. I wonder if someone bought two gallons of milk for a one person household, if that would also bring on the gestapo?

    Unusual pizza order delivers police to hideout of Paris jihad mass murderer Salah Abdeslam
    ……………………

    Jihadists brought down by that Infidel invention, pizza! Surely pizza is Bi’da–“innovation”–and hence Haram?

    Actually, there is all kinds of debate online as to whether pizza in general–and not, say, just pepperoni or pork sausage–is forbidden in Islam.

    Surely this pious Jihadist should have paid more attention! sarc/off

    So the police had to infer that someone of interest might have been at the family residence because NONE of the neighbors saw fit to report his presence.

    This just confirms what everyone says: A radical Muslim wants to kill you; a moderate Muslim is content to watch. I simply do not understand why so many European countries are committing suicide before our very eyes. Stop the Hordes at the border!

    Mar 22, 2016 at 2:56 am

    Not the whole story?
    So the pizza place was working with the police?
    It’s a cover story? The phones in the house were listened into and that’s how the police knew about the order?
    Then they knew already and waited for free pizzas?
    Wyrd times- wyrd ways.

    Muhammad murdered lots of infidels, and got away with it.

    If he got away with it, then allah had wanted him to do it.

    Since allah wanted him to do it, it was never a crime.

    This rationalizing is called “progress” to liberals!

    “An unusual pizza order led police to the safe house of one of the masterminds behind the Paris terror attacks, ending a four-month manhunt.”

    That means this beast was able to roam around undetected for months all over Brussels and beyond. What a worthless surveillance hook up they are.

  24. Arcesilaus says

    Mar 22, 2016 at 3:37 am

    They call this site “right-winged propaganda.” They said I was a loon for thinking of them suspiciously and I was “living in fear.” But look what has happened: It was the Muslim community and Brussels that let this despicable trash get away. As vile as the Paris attacks were, he couldn’t even carry out with his commitment. He even fails at being jihad scum. He’s worse than nothing.

    • Arcesilaus says

      Mar 22, 2016 at 3:40 am

      The best thing he can do, the closest to redemption he’s got is to help intelligence and security services tell them what’s going on and to bring in their scum. Maybe since he’s ISIS, he knows something about the economic migrant leeches that we don’t. At least he’d have a purpose if he helped us bring down ISIS and get rid of guerrilla invaders.

    I want to know what will happen to those who sheltered this guy. The roommate, the mother, etc. Helping a terrorist should result in 40 years hard time, no parole. Alas, the media never follows up on what is done with those who offer material support to Islamic terrorists. Honestly, if you’re a waitress and you know the four guys drinking coffee are plotting Jihad, and you pick up the $5.00 tab for their coffee, you should do 40 years for material support for terrorism. Make the helpers and enablers risk their lives for ANY support.
