Breaking: Terror in France, Three Killed, Moroccan Jihadi Finally Shot By Police

An original translation from Die Welt:

An alleged Islamist killed three people in Southern France.

  • First, he fired at police officers who were just working out. Then he took several hostages in a supermarket
  • After several hours, police forces shot the man dead

Alarm at Southern France police: on Friday, an alleged member of the Jihadi Militia Islamic State (IS) killed a total of three people in the Département Aude. After several hours, police forces managed to kill him in Trèbes.

The situation is still unclear. However, the perpetrator appears to be a notorious Islamist. As reported by the radio station France Info, the man was already known to the intelligence services, and in a data base to fight terrorism and radicalization. He reportedly was under surveillance. According to the newspaper „La Dépêche du Midi“, the man was a Moroccan aged between 30 and 40.

The first incident took place in the city of Carcassonne. As „Le Monde“ report, between 9:30 and 10 AM, an unknown person opened fire  at four officers who were just returning from running. One of them was injured in the shoulder, but his condition is not critical.

Then, the man stole a car, killing the passenger and wounding the driver. Upon that, he drove to the nearby town of Trèbes. An eye-witness said that the perpetrator shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) [translator’s note: this common translation is not quite correct, it means “Allah is greater” or “is greatest”) when he assaulted the local supermarket “Super U“ market at 11:15 AM. He was armed with knives, a shotgun and hand grenades.

According to police, the supermarket’s butcher was lethally shot. The identity of the third victim yet remains to be clarified. According to the Interior Ministry, three more people are wounded. Among them is one police officer, who was held as the sole hostage in the end.

In the afternoon, around 3 PM, a special Gendarmerie force stormed the supermarket and shot dead the hostage taker.

Macron calls it an act of terror

The anti terror unit of the Paris Prosecution took over investigations. The authority annoucnes that they opened an investigation for murder and attempted murder in connection with terrorism.

President Emmanuel Macron, who was participating in the EU summit in Brussels, said during the hostage situation that everything indicated it was an act of terrorism. Prime Minister Edouard Philippe made an according statement and spoke of a “serious situation“.

France has repeatedly been the target of Islamist attacks. Especially the attacks of Paris in 2015, and Nice in 2016, shook the country to the core. In Paris alone, 130 people were killed. Lately, two women were killed in an attack in Marseille on October 1.

Authorities speak of a continued high terror risk. Interior Minister Collomb reported in late February that since New Year, two attacks on a sports venue, and on military, had been foiled.

Hamburg Knife Attacker Pleads Guilty: “I Wanted To Kill As Many German Christians As Possible”

The trial of the Palestinian “refugee” who went on a stabbing spree in Hamburg, wounding six and killing one, on July 27, 2017, has begun on Friday.

Man Pleads Guilty

Knife-Stabber of Hamburg-Barmbek Confesses

Knife attacker Ahmad Alhaw in court

January 12., 2018

At the opening of the trial of a knife-attack in Hamburg-Barmbek, the accused Palestinian confesses. The deed was religiously motivated: He wanted to kill as many German Christians as possible.

About five months after the knife attack in a supermarket in Hamburg with one dead and six wounded, the accused Palestinian confessed the bloody deed.

The attorney of the rejected asylum seeker read out a confession at the opening of the trial at the Senate for the Protection of the State in the Hamburg Higher Regional Court. “He emphatically pleads guilty on all charges”, he explained. “The deeds had, in his view, a religious background”.

Murder as many German Christians as possible
According to the Federal Attorney, the perpetrator acted out of an islamistic mindset. He wanted to kill as many German citizens of Christian faith as possible. The representative of the Federal Attorney said, reading out the indictment: “He made this decision as a contribution to worldwide Jihad.”

Prosecution deem him fully criminally liable and accuse Ahmad A. of murder, attempted murder, and grievous battery in six cases.

His attorney said that his client was under high pressure when he committed the deeds. Ahmad A. further declared that he was not going to answer questions to the details of the deeds.

Instead, he answered questions about his vita. He started studying dental medicine, but quitted. His mother was a teacher. He came to Germany to work and to make a living. Also, the Western lifestyle was a reason, in the beginning. But then he didn’t get along with it. “I had the impression that I wasn’t welcome”, he said, according to an interpreter who was translating from Arabic.

He refused to answer questions regarding the consummation of alcohol or drugs, just as questions about his turn towards religion and about ISIS. He also refused to comment on his statements in his first interrogations. “In the first three days, I was wounded, and unable to concentrate.”

The rejected asylum seeker had stabbed a 50-year-old to death in an Edeka supermarket, and then wounded six more people. A small, self-made ISIS flag was found in his refugee accommodation. But the terror militia did not claim the knife attack.

Translator’s note:

This following photo of the “person who lost his life” was not part of the above article. Matthias P., 50 years old, was shopping for groceries in the Edeka store, when Ahmad Alhaw randomly attacked him without prior warning:

Germany: A Government, Failing The Minimum Requirements Of Humanity

BERLIN – It took chancellor Merkel one year to meet the survivors and the families of the victims of the Berlin Christmas Market terror attack at last.

Parts of the German press have found unusually strong words for her conduct and the statement that she made. Watch her statement on video, and read on for the commentaries.

Remembrance at Breitscheidplatz

A Disruption Of Business Operations

By Alexander Kissler, Dec. 19, 2017

One year ago, there was an Islamist attack on Berlin Breitscheidplatz that took twelve lives. At the memorial service, it became clear: Angela Merkel can’t speak, because she has got nothing to say. She offers empathy under reserve.

PLEASE help The Rebel fight malicious and illiberal law suit

Article here:

Please help: The Rebel, and me personally are being sued by an anti-Israel extremist group. And the lawyer they’re using just happens to also be suing the government on behalf of an illegal Muslim terrorist group.

 

And he’s campaigning for Canada’s M-103 Islamophobia censorship motion, too.

That’s who’s coming for us.

 

It’s lawfare.

 

I believe they want to kill The Rebel, and silence our criticism of radical Islam. They’re suing us for more than $100,000. Plus their lawyers fees. We’ve already racked up tens of thousands for our own lawyers.

 

I need your help if we’re going to survive this.

 

The plaintiff is an extremist group with the ironic name, “Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East”. They promote the “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions”

 

campaign against Jewish companies in Israel. Last year, I criticized them for a stunt where they go into stores, and when no staff are watching, they put bright orange “WARNING” labels on products made by Jews in the West Bank, warning customers not to buy them. It’s sneaky, and I think it could be trespassing or criminal mischief too.

 

Berlin: Police Remove Identitarians’ Memorial for Christmas Market Jihad

Berlin – Police are removing a memorial by the Identitarian Movement, Identitäre Bewegung, for the victims of the Berlin Christmas Market jihad attack, which killed 12 and wounded 70, a year ago to the day. After the removal, unknown people improvised a second “illegal” memorial (last photo).

l. to r.: “No victim will be forgotten.” “To the victims of Islamist terror.” “Paris, Brussels, Manchester, Berlin, Nice, Barcelona.”

“Victim of multiculti”

Second, improvised memorial, after the first one was removed.

 

What Was The Role Of Intelligence Services In The Berlin Christmas Market Attack?

Germany – The following research by Stefan Aust and Helmar Büchel suggests that all the unexplainable “accidents” the German authorities made in dealing with Anis Amri in the year leading up to his attack might not have been accidents after all.

An original translation from Die Welt/Welt Am Sonntag.

Anis Amri under surveillance as early as 2015
By Stefan Aust, Helmar Büchel
Dec. 17, 2017, 00:01h

New insights in the case Amri: The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution had already appointed a dedicated case handler to Amri. Why did she not raise the alarm?

The Berlin Christmas Market attacker Anis Amri was under surveillance, being shadowed and intercepted, much earlier than authorities and Federal government have admitted until now.
This is what emerges from thousands of files, dozens of confidential informant reports, and the protocols of the telephone and internet surveillance, which Welt Am Sonntag have exclusively obtained.
No later than November 2015, the Federal Attorney in Karlsruhe had the Tunisian pointedly surveyed by the Federal Office For Criminal Investigations (BKA) and the Land Office For Criminal Investigations (LKA) North Rhine-Westphalia, by a confidential informant of the police who calls himself “Murat” and appears in the documents as “VP01”.
The measure was part of the covert investigations against the alleged IS terror cell of the hate preacher Abdullah Abdullah from Hildesheim who is known under his pseudonym“Abu Walaa”.
As early as November 24., 2015, more than one year before the attack on the Breitscheidplatz, “VP01” reported concrete terror plans of Amri to the LKA Düsseldorf. From there, they were – just as all further insights – reported on to the BKA, the General Attorney, and the Federal Office For The Protection Of The Constitution. From no later than December 3., 2015, on, the often changing mobile phones of Amri were intercepted, and his internet connections surveyed.

Amri downloaded instructions for explosives
Already on December 14., 2015, Anis Amri downloaded detailed instructions for mixing explosives, and for the construction of bombs and hand grenades, on his smart phone that was intercepted 24/7. From no later than February 2, 2016 on, Amri had phone conversations on this intercepted telephone with two IS cadres on the intermediate level of command, and offered himself as suicide attacker for an attack in Germany.

With the help of the police informant “VP01”, the Intelligence Officers managed the same month to enter the encrypted chat communication of Amri with the IS cadres in the messenger services telegram and whatsapp. While the Federal Government is claiming until now that BND (German Intelligence Service) and BfV (Office For The Protection Of The Constitution), had no operative parts in the Amri case, Welt am Sonntag have obtained emails and files from the authorities that prove a greater role of the German intelligence services. Already in January 2016, the BfV authored a two-page analysis of Anis Amri that was signed by BfV chief Maaßen personally.

12.000 The BKA (Federal Office For Criminal Investigation) sent 12,000 documents to the Office For Protection Of The Constitution.
More than 12,000 files, among them the communication with Amri’s IS contacts in Libya, which were secured from Amri’s smart phone on February 18., 2016, were sent by the BKA to the BfV. This is proven by the evaluating report of the BKA. The Federal Office For Protection Of The Constitution even appointed a dedicated case handler to Anis Amri. This agent (her name is known to Welt Am Sonntag) is employed in the anti terror department of the BfV in Berlin. She is on the same compound with the BKA’s Department 33 for the Protection Of The State which is responsible for Amri, too.
Welt Am Sonntag’s research also proves that Amri had even before his arrival in Italy in April 2011 close personal and even family ties with fighters and leading cadres of the Islamic State in Libya. These contacts were known to the Tunisian secret service for years. BKA and Federal Attorney demonstrably learnt of these family ties of Amri to the Islamic State, when they intercepted a phone call where Amri talked about a death of a cousin, fighting for the IS.
The reason why, in spite of these early, and crushing, findings of the German intelligence agencies, Amri was not arrested already one year before the attack in Berlin, does not emerge from the files available. But several months of investigations by Welt Am Sonntag suggest an involvement of international intelligence services. They might have seen a bait in Amri which would lead them to his instigators, the IS terror attack planners, in Libya.

US air force attacked IS camp
Indeed, Amri was, according to findings of Welt am Sonntag, put under the Italian intelligence service AISI’s surveillance immediately after he was released from deportation custody in May 2015. Allegedly, they lost him, when he went on his way to Germany. Few weeks after he was shot near Milano, B2 stealth bombers from the US air force attacked, in a secret operation managed from Germany, exactly that IS desert camp in Libya, where the instigators of the Breitscheidplatz are suspected.

Hans-Christian Ströbele, member of the secret service control committee of the Bundestag, therefore suspects in an interview with Welt am Sonntag the “governing hand” of a US intelligence service or the US military behind the „otherwise inexplicable“ non-arrest of Anis Amri. The fact that the Federal government has not delivered the solving of the background, which was promised by Merkel the day after the attack,“is a massive scandal”, says Ströbele.

Berlin: Angela Merkel makes a “spontaneous” Gesture

Berlin: Angela Merkel today made a “spontaneous” visit to the scene of the terror attack on the Berlin Christmas market, after criticism of her for completely ignoring for a full year the survivors of the attack, and the families of the victims, was growing audible. See our report here.

Just whose Mutti exactly is Merkel?

Families and survivors of the Berlin Christmas market attack have to this day not received a letter or word of condolence from the German government. For some families, all official communication they received was an invoice from the morgue:

The bill sent to terror victim’s family instead of condolences

This news story reminded me of this photo:

Merkel meets the family of an Imam whose Mosque was attacked, Reunification day celebrations, October 2016

The story behind this photo is that this is an Imam and his family, being official guests at the reunification day celebrations and meeting Merkel, because just a week before, a small blasting agent exploded in front of their Dresden DiTiB-Fatih-Camii-Mosque.
The official spokesman of the German government tweeted out the photo.

Canadian postmodern, and anti-Western propaganda after jihad attack in Edmonton

You probably should pour a drink before you watch this one.

CBC made a video to run damage control for the Muslims after the Alberta jihad attack where one of the panelists, all of whom, in classic CBC format, are on one side and of one goal, actually dared to claim that the attack, in part, happened because people are jealous that we have Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister. Seriously. The attack happened because of jealousy because Canada has Trudeau and he is so great.

At this point it is worth making an important distinction.

Despite CBC’s annual government Hand out of over one billion dollars, or a Carl Sagan as we like to say, it is not at all a government mouth piece. The CBC, is the Liberal Party propagandist, and the Liberal Party happens to be the government at this time. So that helps make sense of the extraordinary video you are about to watch, where a Muslim attacks police near a football game for Islamic jihad, and somehow it becomes about how great Trudeau is, the “diversity” of Canada, and by the end, the real problem. Right wing Canadians who might do the eternally predicted, and never actually happened, backlash.

Here is the Rebel’s take on the CBC’s actual coverage of the terrorist attack in Edmonton.
