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

Jihadis target French delegation at Rio 2016 Olympics

Jul 14, 2016 12:21 pm By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

“France ‘informed of planned terror attack on Rio Olympic team,'” by Donna Bowater, Telegraph, July 14, 2016:

A terrorist attack targeting the French delegation at the Rio 2016 Olympics has been foiled by security services, it has emerged.

The head of French military intelligence said “partner agencies” had issued an alert about the alleged plot by a Brazilian Islamist militant, according to a report into the Paris terror attacks in January and November, which killed 147.

No other details about the plans were released and the information was not shared with Brazil’s intelligence agency Abin.

A spokesman for Brazil’s institutional security cabinet, which oversees the country’s information services, told AFP: “We were not the source of information and the Brazilian intelligence agency (Abin) was not officially informed either of this matter.”

The French inquiry report was published as security services in Rio de Janeiro prepared to stage a simulated attack this weekend to test counter-terrorism response plans.

Some 500 officers, troops and first responders will be involved in the exercise at Deodoro station near one of the venue clusters in the north of the city on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Alexandre Moraes, justice minister, said a terror attack during the Olympics was a “possibility” but not a “probability”.

This week, a man from Pakistan was arrested on suspicion of planning an attack on an airport in the capital, Brasília, but he was realised after federal police officers found no evidence of a plot.

According to reports, he had been reported by his Brazilian wife in what appeared to be a domestic dispute.

In the meantime, Brazil’s ministry of defence confirmed it was boosting military presence in the host city at the request of acting governor Francisco Dornelles.

The number of troops deployed in Rio for the Games rose from 18,000 to 21,000, reaching a total of 41,000 including those in the five football host cities.

The total number of security personnel including police will be more than 85,000 – more than double the number for London 2012….

    If people knew how unprepared is Brazilian police in matters of terror. And how the government has treat all its police force at district level and federal level, how the 2 mandates of former pres. Luis Inácio (Lula) and the 1 and a half mandate of Dilma Rousef has been, year after year, punishing law enforcement, so they became almost unable to bring cases against these corrupt govern, the last years has been without comparison in Brazil history concerning corruption. Just at one Enterprise, owned by govern, Petrobras, is know a 4 Billions or more in the last 10 years, and they (all politicians) do not let the Policia Federal, its our law federal enforcement police, investigate the governmental bank BNDS, nor CAIXA., where every citizen knows are the really thick cases of corruption, couple months ago was said in BNDS would be like 500 billions took to political parties and individuals themselves. And year after year law enforcement has had its budge diminish. Many Brazilians are not taking the risk of join Olympic events first ’cause of Rio customary violence, and even more after these announcements of terror. This week at You Tube were posted videos of police officials saying they will not support security at Olympics Games cause their salary were delayed and their accommodations provided by Rio government are so inappropriate that lacks water. Many here are having a really bad expectation about security for visitors

    This is however, proof that Merkel’s policy of groveling appeasement has bought Germany some time while it figures what the heck is going on.
    Of course, the temporally pacified problem of Merkel’s new found Muslim FRENEMIES has not gone away and the threat of violence is merely delayed.

    Sigh of relief or untreated wound in Germany.

      When you see Muslims building a guillotine you should expect heads to roll.

    Earlier this month, Alexandre Moraes, justice minister, said a terror attack during the Olympics was a “possibility” but not a “probability”.

    What did you expect him to say?

    “Cara, a cena tá preta. Nós estamos a pedir às pessoas que não venham assistir às Olimpíadas no Rio de Janeiro devido a uma ameaça de terrorismo que foi classificada pelas forças de seguranca como sendo credível e de elevado risco”.

    (Man, things are bad. We’re asking people not to come to see the Olympics in Rio due to a terrorism threat that was classified by law enforcement as credible and of high risk).

    “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorize them) K.8.60.

    This is Allah’s eternal command! Killing kafirs at a sporting event will reveal to them who Allah has appointed to rule over them and force them to submit!

    Kafirs who resist jihad are even more worthy of being killed. In fact, no dirty kafirs deserve to live.

    Everyone should review the details of Munich, 1972, Black September, 11 Olympic athletes murdered. Not pleasant reading, but necessary.

    What’s the difference between a bucket of human excrement and the Koran?

    The bucket.

    Where ever Muslims go, they make things worse – like poo on your shoes bringing with it the stench.
