Europol: Jihadis stockpiling explosives in Europe

Jun 1, 2016 9:22 am By Robert Spencer

The solution? Bring in more Muslim migrants. What could possibly go wrong?

“Terrorist ‘Stockpiling Explosives In Europe,’ Europol Official,” IHLS, May 30, 2016:

Terrorist cells all across the EU are likely stockpiling explosives for future attacks, warned Manuel Navarrete Paniagua, Head of the European Counter Terrorism Center at Europol. The agency has foiled 211 terror plots, according to released statistics, but cautions that the threat of attacks similar in scale to the November 2015 Paris assaults remains not insignificant.

Terrorists are likely collecting “large clandestine stockpiles of explosives,” Paniagua told members of the European Parliament, reports the EUObserver. “We have some information reported by the member states that terrorists groups are trying to establish large clandestine stockpiles of explosives in the European Union to be used eventually in large scale home attacks.”

Europol has identified more than 4,000 foreign fighters, who have been entered into the dedicated tracking database. “Using the terrorist financial tracking program, we provided last year more than 2,700 leads regarding foreign terrorist fighters to the member states,” Paniagua said.

Jihadist terrorism remains a top priority for European security agencies, due to the nature of the threat. Their use of explosives and firearms, and indications of increasingly sophisticated coordination and communication between cells, poses a rapidly evolving threat, Paniagua said.

Paniagua addressed the concerns regarding the flow of jihadist fighters into Europe disguised among refugees.

“We found no evidence of the systematic use of this flow to infiltrate terrorists into the European Union. But they do, they use it, we have some cases, some of the people that perpetrated the Paris attacks were eventually disguised in this immigration flow,” said Paniagua.

To tackle this issue, Europol announced in May that it will be deploying some 200 counter-terrorism officers at refugee centres across Europe, in particular in heavily trafficked countries such as Italy and Greece.

    “Likely”, eh? Someone is not doing their job properly – you’re not paid to say “likely”, you’re paid to know whether they are or not and, if they are, do something about it. Or, at least, let the respective law enforcement agencies know abut it so they can do something.

    It is not a terrorist attack it is a cultural expression. Do not dare to say anything bad about the new rulers of Europe!

    I wonder why he even bothers to mention this. If previous experience is anything to go by, then his words will again go in the politicians’ one ear and out the other, leaving no traces of insight.

    “Terrorist cells all across the EU are likely stockpiling explosives for future attacks, warned Manuel Navarrete Paniagua, Head of the European Counter Terrorism Center at Europol. ”

    Obviously this guy will be replaced soon. How dare he point out the problem of Islamic terrorism in the European Union. It goes against everything Merkel, Cameron and Hollande along with other leaders want to happen it is also very Islamophobic.

    I must admit that the whole piece seemed garbled to me. Just one ‘likely’ example.

    ““We found no evidence of the systematic use of this flow to infiltrate terrorists into the European Union. But they do, they use it, we have some cases, some of the people that perpetrated the Paris attacks were eventually disguised in this immigration flow,” said Paniagua.”

    Speak plainer man lest we are ‘likely’ to get blown up, perhaps.

    Of course they are stockpiling. Planning and preparation going on too I imagine. The key to success. If the Pakistanis or a good ol’ convert get their grabbers on a Pakistani nuke it will all have been for nothing. Sigh.

    Anyone in TSA and FBI making sure they stay out of America and not cross the Southern Border?

    I think things need to get worse before they get better – much worse. When it gets bad enough, the liberal Left will suddenly drop their support for Islam like it never existed. You’ll overhear one talking to another “I told you that was going to happen if they let more of these refugees in” – even though the year before he was one of those greeting the arrival of refugees at the train station with a big welcome placard.

    The migrants are unemployable. They have no skills and are there for freebees in any case. According to Islamic doctrne they are the bes tof humanity, called to subjugate the rest and have a right to be taken care of, to receive apartments with air conditioning etc. Plus, most of them have low IQ both for genertic reasons and due to the fact that half of the world muslim population is ibred. Cur off the welfare payments abde begin sending them back and the flow will end.
