WAS THE FRENCH POLICE
HUNT FOR BOUMEDIENE
GENUINE OR A RIGGED SHOW?
Via DEBKAfile (Israel)
FRENCH intelligence failures over
the CHARLIE HEBDO terror attack will not be upstaged by the Unity March of
millions that President FRANCOIS HOLLANDE leads in PARIS Sunday, Jan. 11, to
dramatize the free world’s protest against Islamist terror. The case of HAYAT
BOUMEDDIENE, the 26-year old wife of the terrorist AMEDY COULIBALY who murdered
four Jews in cold blood at the kosher supermarket, stands out.
Friday, Jan. 9, after the police
assault on the store, FRENCH security sources reported she had escaped with a
stream of rescued hostages and reached SYRIA via SPAIN and ISTANBUL.
Background Information:
WHO PROFITS FROM KILLING CHARLIE?
IN FACT, SHE NEVER WAS IN THE PARIS STORE.
The female terrorist had skipped FRANCE
and arrived in SYRIA on Jan. 1-2, more than a week before the wave of terror
first struck PARIS at the satirical magazine CHARLIE HEBDO.
This could have been discovered
simply by examining the records at FRENCH, SPANISH and TURKISH border posts.
So did FRENCH security
authorities plant a cock-and-bull story with deliberate intent? Or did they
miss another cue after omitting to crack down on the three men with known
jihadist connections before they struck?
IF ISIS WAS ABLE TO PULL THE STRINGS FOR MULTIPLE TERROR IN THE HEART
OF EUROPE, AIR CAMPAIGNS BY COALITION FORCES IN IRAQ AND SYRIA WOULD LOOK PRETTY
TAME!
Western security sources have
been playing up the three terrorists’ connection to the YEMENI headquarters of AL
QAEDA in the ARABIAN PENINSULA (AQAP). That is because, if ISIS was able to
pull the strings for multiple terror in the heart of EUROPE, the air campaign
that the US-led coalition of 20 countries including FRANCE is conducting in IRAQ
and SYRIA would look pretty tame. And its leader ABU BAQR AL-BAGHDAD would be
laughing.
BUT WAS IT REALLY ISIS OR AQAP WHICH SET UP THE THREE ATTACKS WHICH
CLAIMED 17 LIVES IN THREE DAYS?
That is the big question.
SAID and CHERIF KOUACHI told FRENCH
television shortly before they were shot dead that they belonged to YEMEN AL
QAEDA, whereas COULIBALY claimed he was acting for ISIS.
This apparent contradiction
raises the scary suggestion that the two murderous Islamic groups may have
collaborated for the first time to hit FRANCE. That scenario assumes an even
more ominous dimension in the light of the chatter picked up by US intelligence
indicating that all AL QAEDA’S branches are preparing to follow up the PARIS operations
with a major campaign of terror in EUROPE.
BOUMEDIENE’S arrival in SYRIA
ahead of the PARIS attacks appears to part of a comprehensive plan for setting
up a command and control center for this campaign or, possibly, to prepare safe
asylum for the gunmen who manage to get away. If that is so, then the center of
this campaign would be situated on ISIS - not AQAP – turf.
The sight of many thousands of gendarmes and security officers rushing
around in combat gear to chase the female terrorist may have helped reassure a
frightened population, who were not to know the guardians of security were on a
fool’s errand.
HOMEGROWN AND FOREIGN JIHADIS WERE SHOWN TO HAVE ESTABLISHED SAFE EXIT
ROUTES FOR REACHING THE ISLAMIC BATTLEGROUNDS OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND RETURN
HOME WELL TRAINED AND FILLED WITH HATRED FOR SOCIETIES WHICH BRED THEM
But the truth was that FRANCE’S
external security service (DGSE), anti-terror police branches and border
authorities, who were supposed to operate in concert, fell down on the job and
revealed their weakness to the enemy. Homegrown and foreign jihadis were shown
to have established safe exit routes for reaching the Islamic battlegrounds of
the MIDDLE EAST and returning home - well trained, heavily armed and filled
with hatred for the societies which bred them.
Underground jihadist networks
spent months undiscovered by the internal security service (DGSI) in the
setting up of complicated multi-site operations, like the attacks on CHARLIE
HEBDO and the JEWISH supermarket.
JIHADI TERRORISTS ACTION IN EUROPE GUARANTEED THEM PRIME TIME ON ALL
THE WORLD’S TELEVISION SCREENS.
And the GROUPE D’INTERVENTION DE
LA GENDARMERIE NATIONALE (GIGN) took too long to run them to earth and
eliminate them.
After murdering the top
journalists and cartoonists of CHARLIE HEBDO, the two KOUACHI brothers emerged
from the building packing two submachine guns, but none of the dozens of armed
police outside was able to cut them down.
And finally, thousands of FRENCH police
and soldiers from various units put to siege the print works outside DAMMARTIN-EN-GOELE,
where SAID and CHERIF KOUACHI were holed up for hours, with nearly 100,000 security
officers mobilized across FRANCE. Still, they hesitated to break in.
All this provides fodder for the
trainers to inspire the next generation of jihadi terrorists for action that is
guaranteed to win them prime time on all the world’s television screens.
