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

Germany: Jihad attackers had repeated contact with Islamic State jihadis in Saudi Arabia

Aug 6, 2016 2:14 pm By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State has sent enemy combatants into Europe and North America in significant numbers. There will be many more stories like this one. Meanwhile, what is our “friend and ally” Saudi Arabia doing on its end to stop these activities inside its own borders?

Police secure the area after an explosion in Ansbach

“Terror Investigation: Germany Attackers Had Contact with Suspected IS Members,” by Andreas Ulrich, Spiegel, August 5, 2016:

The perpetrators of recent attacks in Ansbach and Würzburg in Germany had contacts with suspected Islamic State members in Saudi Arabia, SPIEGEL has learned. Chat transcripts suggest one of the perpetrators may have been planning to strike again.

Transcripts of chats obtained by German authorities indicate that the two men involved in attacks in the German cities of Ansbach and Würzburg had repeated contact with suspected members of Islamic State via telephone numbers registered in Saudi Arabia, among other places, SPIEGEL has learned. Würzburg perpetrator Riaz Khan Ahmadzai, who is believed to have originated from Afghanistan and seriously injured several people on a regional train with an axe and knife on July 18, also left a goodbye message before engaging in the attack. “We’ll see each other in paradise,” he wrote.

In chats conducted prior to the attack, an IS contact man suggested to the 17-year-old that he drive a car into a mass of people. The perpetrator rejected the suggestion, justifying himself by saying he didn’t have a driver’s license. Instead, Ahmadzai announced, he would board a train and attack the first passengers that are convenient.

In the case of the other attack in Ansbach, committed by Mohammed Daleel of Syria, the authorities believe the perpetrator’s death on July 24 was likely an accident. They think his intention had been to deposit a backpack carrying homemade explosives within a crowd at a music festival in the city before detonating it remotely….Daleel’s face is concealed behind a veil in the video in which he claims responsibility for the attacks, which investigators view as a sign that he may have been planning further ones….

    Germany: Jihad attackers had repeated contact with Islamic State jihadis in Saudi Arabia
    ……………………..

    What *is* Saudi Arabia doing about this, given their involvement in 9/11? Will any in the West–including the United States–ask that question?

      Doing what they’ve always did – ensuring jihadis wage jihad outside Saudi Arabia. Appeasement, crocodile, etc.

        Yes, and that’s why they don’t take in any refugees too. They WANT them all in Europe and America to disguise the Jihadis! It’s not that Saudi is afraid to bring in terrorists, but to keep the terrorists busy is the west.

      On a sidenote, when those 28 pages of the 9/11 commision were released proving Saudi involvement (in a slightly less redacted form), I thought, wow, this is HUGE! But I guess I was wrong again. It was barely a blip on the MSM radar. There one day, gone the next. Did I just imagine that? Was there ANY American response at all?

      The West – politicians and media alike – like to turn a blind eye on Saudi Arabia, America’s old ally and oil deliverer. Even if the States is self-sufficient today there is still a certain alliance. We’ve got to face the facts certain Saudi Arabian citizens have always supported terrorism cf. Rachel Ehrenfeld’s revealing book Funding Evil.

        The behavior of European politicians is also very suspicious – accepting over a million of Muslim extremists without even knowing their identity, origin and background and not protecting the own citizens and even forcing them to keep quiet about what migrants are doing to them: it seems that a lot of Saudi money is involved in the whole story and politicians are deeply corrupted…

      And then they say that 9/11 was an inside job, if it was a inside job for real, then why would Saudi Arabia do to with terrorism right now? The ideology of jihad is financed for Saudi Arabia besides the jihackers were Saudi’s citizens. There is a connection and it takes not to be blind to see connection.

      The Islamic State is a Saudi Arabian product & Saudi Arabia is the most
      dangerous enemy the West has.
      It corrupts all politicians it has dealings with, & so achieves power within
      organisations like the UN.
      It exports terrorism, including by refusing to accept sunni muslim refugees.
      The Saudis were a clan of third world peasants, given their own kingdom,
      to which they had no claim, by the West.
      As demand for oil declines, it might be possible to cut this brutal regime
      down to size.
      Russia is usually ill governed, & I have no time for Putin,
      BUT Russian cultural values are essentially Western.
      The West should be forging closer, if cool, ties with Russia & together
      exterminating the vile, corrupting, infliuence of islam.
      Above all, the truly satanic Sunni variety.

    What a surprise ! ” mentally ill , single attacker ” blabla — and Saudi Arabia ( ! ) – offers help .

    OMG, The local News of Jacksonville, Florida has just welcomed 60+ Syrian MUSLIMS TO JACKSONVILLE. I live South of that horrible city, but Muslims are able to select their abodes. Previously, the count was only 18 ( Officially), now we have many more. Elected Officials are paid quite generously, but it’s the residents who will suffer. Syrian MUSLIMS love to use the Backpack ruse. Now, everyone with a backpack will be watched by the residents. The Perp simply sets the pack down & walks away.

      Obama says there is no problem.
      Hillary says there is no problem.

      Trump says — this is a problem.

    Considering that Saudi Arabia trains imams to embrace the psychotic, hateful and truly Mohammedan ideals of Wahhabi Islam it is not a surprise to discover this link. The only thing about it that surprises me is that our leaders call Saudi Arabia an ally rather than accept that they hate and want to destroy us.

    There are almost daily attacks by Muslim terrorists. The Libtarded solution? Bring in more Muslims.

  6. Baucent says

    The strategy of the German authorities for any terror type attack is to immediately claim there is a mental health issue involved and no suggestion of terrorist motive. They make these statements even before it could be possible to determine the truth of those statements. So it is clearly a strategy to deflect public attention away from Islamic terrorism, and on to more comforting “mental issues”.

    We see this very tactic at work today in an attack on a restaurant in Germany. Immediate claims of “mental health” issues.

    But will the strategy work? You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. It will come back to bite them.

    Just let the murderous scum rot in their own countries and no such problems will arise but leaders ignore warnings and refuse to learn from past mistakes so the murderous spree will continue unabated.

    It’s a simple equation: muslims = trouble (death, destruction, mayhem murder, corpses, blood, gore).

    Ignore at your peril.
