Fares Chamseddine (the pen-name of a Syrian man living in Britain) argues on Comment is Free that even a watered down UN resolution on Syria would hurt Asssad:

It will be interesting to see how adamant the Russians are that Assad and his family should be allowed to remain in power. Preventing a Libya-style scenario from emerging in Syria does not necessarily preclude a gradual transfer of power to a provisional government of some sort which incorporates elements of both sides. If Russia can be assured that this would not endanger its considerable military and financial investments in Syria, then perhaps we might see such a resolution pass.

That is a lot to hope for, and so far the Russians have given no hints whatsoever that their position regarding Assad's regime is anything but cast in iron.

Still, the Syrian regime has done everything in its power to delay bringing the question of a resolution back to the UN, and that shows this is something which worries them very deeply. Nobody, not even Assad, can take Russia's support for granted, and at some point even the strongest ally could decide that a losing regime is not worth supporting.

4.34pm: The Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC) say 23 people have died in Syria so far today at the hands of the security forces, including two children. It says 10 people have been killed in Idlib in the north-west, where it has reported shelling and clashes between troops and the Free Syrian Army. Nine people have been killed in Homs and one each in Dael,Damascus and Ain Tarma in Damascus Suburbs, according to the LCC. It says security forces used megaphones to order citizens to leave Ain Tarma within an hour.

This video purports to show a house that was shelled in Ma'art Numan in Idlib.

The LCC has posted another video it says represents the first pictures of the devastation wreaked in Saqba, in Damascus suburbs, by the security forces.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVS9ekOmM1g&feature=player_embedded


Another video purports to show the heavy security presence in Saqba.

The LCC has also accused the Assad regime of blowing up oil pipelines as part of a policy of "collective punishment" towards civilian opponents of the regime. Both the LCC and the government have opposed each other of blowing up pipelines in Homs today, not the first time the government has made such claims (see 2.56pm).

The LCC says:


Quote:
The latest episode of this series was in Baba Amr, where the regime attempted to blame what it calls "armed terrorist groups," in order to support its false story before the United Nations' security council meeting to discuss the Syrian file.

The regime uses these methods to abuse and intimidate civilians. Reports of suffocation incidents have risen in the areas close to the fires, not to mention the short and long term health risks posed by the burning oil fumes on civilians. This is a part of the regime's collective punishment policy against the areas demanding freedom for Syria. The Syrian regime [has] bombed several oil and gas pipelines since the revolution's beginning.


3.13pm: Here's the full text of the draft resolution on Syria.


This is one of the key passages and main sticking points:


Delegation by the President of Syria of his full authority to his Deputy to fully cooperate with the national unity government in order to empower it to perform its duties in the transitional period.


3.01pm: Foreign Policy magazine has useful pen portraits, plus nicknames, on some of the key players on the UN's manoeuvres on Syria.


They are:



Mr. Consensus: Nabil Elaraby, secretary general of the Arab League


The Tip of the Spear: Hamad Bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, prime minister and foreign minister of Qatar


The No Show: Mohammad Ahmed Mustafa al-Dabi, head of the Arab League monitoring mission


Mr. Nyet: Vitaly Churkin, Russia's U.N. envoy


The Low Key Negotiator: Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations


Don't Tread on Me: Bashar Al Jaafari, Syria's U.N. ambassador


The Not-So-Loyal Opposition: Burhan Ghalioun, representative of the Syrian National Council


The Arabist for Assad: Mourad Medelci, Algeria's foreign minister


The Front Man: Mohammed Loulichki, Morocco's UN ambassador


Here's the entry on the "The Euro Faction":


Mark Lyall Grant, Britain's UN ambassador, and Gerard Araud, France's UN have been the driving force behind the negotiations on the draft. Since the beginning of the crisis, they have pushed aggressively for the Security Council to increase pressure on Assad regime. In the latest round, they have cobbled together a fairly wide alliance of countries - including the United States, several Arab governments, and Turkey - in support of an Arab League plan for Syria's political transition. Most of the group's meetings have taken place at the British mission to the United Nations, and British and French diplomats have lead the drafting process. Germany's U.N. ambassador Peter Wittig, meanwhile, has played an increasingly vocal role in pressing a tougher line in the council on Syria. It was Wittig who first proposed back in December that the Arab League brief the council on its diplomatic efforts to end the crisis. At the time, the initiative was dismissed even by Germany's allies. "I wouldn't say there was resistance," said one council diplomat. "But there was no appetite."


2.56pm: The Local Co-ordination Committees claim 16 people have been killed in Syria so far today. The umbrella activist group says nine of the deaths were in Idlib, in the north-west, and six in Homs, where it said 76 people were killed on Monday.


It says four of those reported killed in Idlib were army recruits executed for refusing to open fire on protesters. Video taken by locals [warning: graphic] has bee posted online.


A video purportedly from Babr Amr, a hotbed of resistance, shows a gas pipeline blown up by the security forces today, the LCC claims.


The Syrian government has accused "armed terrorist groups" (its way of describing the opposition) of a number of attacks on gas and oil pipelines since the uprising began and the state news agency, Sana, reported: "An armed terrorist group at dawn Monday blew up a gas pipeline extending from Homs to Banyas near al-Rabieh village in Tal Kalakh."


Tal-Kalakh is in Homs but it is unclear whether Sana is referring to the same incident as the LCC.


2.34pm: Turkey has joined in the criticism of Russia ahead of the UN security council meeting, the Turkish daily Zaman reports.
It quotes this tweet from Ibrahim Kalin, chief adviser to the prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Default re: SYRIA-PHOTOS/VIDEOS-BRUTALITY-UN Vote Fails & UPDATES

Russia & China vetoed the Vote in the UN

(Not surprising considering one of them is supplying arms to the Syrian Government-LBB)

Britain will help Syrian rebels says Cameron as Assad army bombs continue to rain down on Homs

  • City being bombarded to stop uprising against ruling regime
  • Russian foreign minister meets Assad in Damascus
  • Pair discuss ways to try to end the uprising
  • 95 killed in yesterday's bloodshed
  • More than 5,400 dead since uprising began in March 2011
  • David Cameron meets to formulate British policy in Syria
By Daily Mail UK 9th February 2012

British Prime Minister, David Cameron, gave the green light to a three point plan to force Syrian dictator Bashar Assad to quit yesterday, approving plans to train spindoctors to help the Syrian opposition win support.
British officials will help opposition leaders draw up a joint platform for the future of their country and then train them in how to win over the Syrian people.
Details of the plan were signed off yesterday when the Prime Minister chaired an hour-long meeting of the National Security Council.

Scroll down for Videos...

These images of gunmen fighting against the Assad regime are some of the rare pictures of the resistance

Mr Cameron vowed to back fresh sanctions by the European Union to freeze the assets of key regime figures and ban them from travelling.
He also said Britain would back Arab League efforts to finalise a deal which would see Mr Assad hand over power to a national unity government ahead of elections.

The crunch meeting came as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov travelled to Syria in a bid to strike a deal.
He said Mr Assad was ready to end the bloodshed, which has claimed more than 5,000 lives over the last 11 months, and hold a referendum on constitutional reforms.
During a visit to Damascus, Mr Lavrov said he had received assurances from Mr Assad that he was 'completely committed to the task of stopping violence regardless of where it may come from'.

Battered: Makeshift medical centres and homes have been hit by mortars and machine gun fire as the crackdown by Assad's forces continues




Cold comfort: The email said Asma Assad was helping the bereaved to cope. Pictured here are the victims of shelling by the Syrian army in the Khalidiya neighbourhood in Homs




Russian Minister Sergey Lavrov (left) said he had received assurances from Bashar al-Assad that he was 'completely committed to the task of stopping violence' wherever it may come from

'President Assad informed (me) that he will meet in the coming days with the commission that prepared a draft of the new constitution,' Mr Lavrov added.
'The work is finished, and now a date will be announced for a referendum on this important document for Syria.'

Mr Lavrov appeared to be attempting to salvage some diplomatic face after infuriating Arab countries and the West by vetoing a UN Security Council resolution condemning the violence at the weekend.
But his claims seemed empty last night as the relentless shelling of the rebel stronghold of Homs continued yesterday.

Rebel leaders said that another 19 people were killed yesterday in Homs, the fourth day of mortar and tank attacks which have killed more than 300 people.
Downing Street said Syria's government must be judged by its "savage" actions, not its words.





Warm welcome: Assad's supporters took to the streets to welcome Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov today




Greeting: Syrian President Bashar Assad (left) held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov (right) in a bid to try and diffuse the escalating violence



Colourful: Pro-Syrian regime supporters gathered under a huge Russian flag made from balloons to cheer on the convoy carrying Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

A spokesman said: 'Our position hasn't changed. We will continue to judge the Syrian regime by its actions not its words.

'Reports that President Assad is ready to talk to all the political forces in Syria to end the violence and set a date for a referendum for a new constitution stand in stark contrast to the actions they are taking and their savage attempt to crush the peaceful protests in Homs.'
At the NSC meeting in London , politicians and defence chiefs ruled out arming the opposition but agreed they would do more to help.

A No 10 spokesman said: 'The work is going to focused on three tracks: firstly, support to the Arab League; secondly, further sanctions to increase the pressure on the Assad regime; and thirdly, work with the Opposition to encourage them to set out a clear vision for the future, for a unified and peaceful Syria.'
A Whitehall security source said: 'The training is taking place on a one to one basis with opposition leaders outside Syria. We are teaching them how to be their own spindoctors to help them agree a message and then get it out to the people.'



Bombed out: Asma Assad said she still supported her husband, who has launched a crackdown on opposition groups in recent months



Destroyed: An obliterated military vehicle lies in a Homs street yesterday after it was struck by mortars fired by troops loyal to Syria's ruling regime

Britain's scepticism was shared by prominent members of the Arab League, who have called for President Assad to relinquish power.

Members of the six-nation Gulf Co-operation Council - Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates - are pulling their ambassadors from Syria because of Mr Assad's refusal to accept Arab attempts to end the country's bloodshed.
Efforts to help the Syrian opposition will gather pace at a contact group meeting being planned for the next few weeks which will bring together a 'coalition of the willing' of countries who want to help.

But Mr Cameron was warned that it could take a long time to see the Assad regime fall. Part of the Prime Minister's briefing yesterday was to emphasise the strength of the Syrian armed forces.
'They can keep up these attacks for a long time,' one source said.

Default Presidents' Wife, Asma Tries to Escape Syria

'She listens to and comforts the bereaved': Assad's British-born wife speaks for first time as husband tries to crush opposition

  • Asma Assad appears to offer full support to husband in the email
  • Sparks anger from activists who say she is 'delusional'

By Daily Mail UK




Silence broken: Asma Assad, the British-born wife of Syria's president, has spoken for the first time since the country's uprising began last March


The British-born wife of Syria's president has spoken for the first time since the country’s uprising began last March.
In a carefully worded email, Asma Assad appears to offer full support to her husband Bashar as his security forces try to crush the opposition.
'The President is the President of Syria, not a faction of Syrians, and the First Lady supports him in that role,' she told The Times.
'These days she is equally involved in bridging gaps and encouraging dialogue. She listens to and comforts the families of the victims of the violence.'
Mrs Assad, 36, approved the text following a critical article in the newspaper last week.
It had asked what an educated woman, raised in liberal Britain and with a long record of good works, must think of the slaughter, torture and imprisonment of thousands.

But her statement that she was comforting the bereaved was greeted with anger by Syrian experts and opposition activists.
They said she had an 'ostrich attitude' and was delusional.
The email followed claims last month that Syrian security forces tried to smuggle her, and her children, out of the country.

They were reportedly in a convoy, also carrying the president's mother and cousin, intercepted by brigades of army defectors, that came under heavy fire as they made their way to Damascus airport. They were forced to turn back to the city's presidential palace.



Fleeing: Asma (right), the wife of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and their two children, seven-year-old Karim (right) and nine-year-old Zein (left) are believed to have been caught trying to flee, it has been claimed




Cold comfort: The email said Asma Assad was helping the bereaved to cope. Pictured here are the victims of shelling by the Syrian army in the Khalidiya neighbourhood in Homs

And it comes as her husband ordered an intensification of a crackdown on protesters, which has so far killed more than 5,400 rebels, and was visited by Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov to discuss ways to try to end the uprising.
The email is the first communication Asma Assad, who grew up in Acton, West London, has had with international media in 11 months.
Assad, who was known as Emma during her childhood, is the daughter of consultant cardiologist Fawaz Akhras and retired diplomat Sahar Otri, both Sunni Muslims.
They moved from Syria to London in the Fifties so that her father, who is now based at the Cromwell Hospital and in Harley Street, could get the best possible education and medical training.
Asma, who holds dual citizenship, British and Syrian, was educated at a Church of England school in Ealing before attending a private girls’ day school - Queen’s College, Harley Street.
From Queen’s, where she achieved four A-levels, Asma went to King’s College London to read Computer Science and take a diploma in French Literature.
She graduated with a First and, after six months of travelling, joined Deutsche Bank as an analyst in hedge-fund management.


Royal connections: The Queen (right) met Syrian President Bashar Assad (centre) and his wife Asma (left) at Buckingham Palace in 2002



Bombed out: Asma Assad said she still supported her husband, who has launched a crackdown on opposition groups in recent months

She then moved to the investment bank JP Morgan and worked in Paris and New York, as well as London. It was on family holidays back in Syria that she met Bashar.
Then he, too, came to London to study ophthalmology, though he had to leave early to return to Syria after his elder brother Basil, who had been the heir, died in a car crash.
Asma started seeing him in secret, resigning from JP Morgan just a month before the wedding without being able to explain the real reason.
With her father, she has set up several London-based charities such as the Syria Heritage.

Vogue has described her as ‘the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies’ and she has topped French Elle’s ‘most stylish woman in politics’ list.
In Damascus, Bashar and Asma now live in a flat with plate-glass windows and their three boys go to a Montessori school.
She speaks four languages and her connections with France have led her to persuade the Louvre to help her open Syrian cultural attractions.

Default re: SYRIA BRUTALITY-PHOTOS/VIDEOS--UN Takes Action

Why Putin backs this vile tyrant


By Daily Mail UK





Bloodshed: President Bashar al-Assad will stop at nothing to retain power for his corrupt and blood-stained regime


With each day, the Syrian tragedy grows deeper. Over the past weekend we have had first a report from Human Rights Watch documenting the torture and murder of children, then the worst massacre yet, with perhaps 300 people slaughtered in the city of Homs.

It is clear that President Bashar al-Assad, the London-trained eye doctor once feted as a reformer by Tony Blair, will stop at nothing to retain power for his corrupt and blood-stained regime.


The sight of Syrian troops shelling homes once again increases the prospect that this uprising will spiral into full-blown civil war, with all the risks of sectarian strife in the midst of the Middle East powder keg. The governing elite is dominated by the minority Alawite sect, while many army defectors forming revolutionary militia are from the Sunni majority.

No one knows exactly how many people have already died. The UN estimated 5,400 in December, then stopped counting as the fighting intensified. Thousands more have been beaten, tortured and jailed. I heard the horror stories myself, visiting Syria a few weeks into the uprising.

That December death toll had doubled since early October, when Russia and China first vetoed a UN resolution threatening sanctions against the regime. On Saturday, these two autocracies – both wary of foreign intervention given their own problems with restless minorities – combined forces again to prevent a watered-down resolution being passed.

Incredibly, both claimed they opposed the motion – which called for al-Assad to step aside – in order to prevent more bloodshed. Even in a chamber that has heard contemptible cant from some of the world’s nastiest tyrants, this took Orwellian doublespeak to an epic level.




'Disgusted': Russian representative Vitaly Churkin, centre, provoked international outrage after vetoing a draft resolution backing an Arab League call for Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down





Funerals: A burial ceremony for the victims of a shelling by the Syrian army



In actual fact, opposition was led by Russia. This was unsurprising, given that as the UN debated, some 120,000 people braved –20c temperatures in Moscow to march in support of democracy. But although the former KGB comrades running the country have good cause to worry about their own protest movement, their support for al-Assad is far more cynical.

Syria is the biggest importer of Russian weapons in the Middle East – so the odds are that bullets aimed at the heads of children and shells setting houses aflame in Homs are Russian-made. It takes an incredible 10 per cent of Russia’s global arm sales.


Just last month, a Russian cargo ship laden with ammunition arrived in the Syrian port of Tartus, while the two nations signed a £420million deal for military aircraft. Russia has refused to bend to diplomatic pressure to stop fuelling the violence and volatility. Little wonder its flag has been burned in cities at the centre of the uprising.


Additionally, as Russian oil revenues dwindle it has spent heavily in Syria, drilling wells and building a gas processing plant – investments valued at £15billion. When I visited Syria, I was told there were also Russian computer experts helping hunt online opposition activists.




Defiant: Putin's popularity is waning and with a presidential election looming, he does not want to look weak


Vladimir Putin has fought hard to restore Russia’s status as a great power. With his popularity waning and a presidential election looming, he does not want to look weak, especially over a country home to its only military base outside the former Soviet Union. So what happens next?

Despite the UN’s grandiose talk of preventing crimes against humanity, is the only option to watch as people demanding democracy and human rights are mown down until the crisis grows so intense it risks engulfing the dangerous region?


The awful truth is there are few diplomatic solutions available; Russia and China have already stopped economic sanctions and an arms embargo.

Although it would have been of symbolic importance, the timid UN resolution would have changed little since al-Assad has already ignored U.S. calls to quit.

Demands for foreign intervention are growing, but they are unlikely to be heeded given rising tensions over neighbouring Iran, the nervousness of Israel and diminishing U.S. appetite for such adventurism.

The international community can and should help train the ragbag revolutionaries but the best hope may be to continue tightening the economic noose.

It may be the full scale of the tragedy is only starting to unfurl. Concluding a conversation with an activist I met in Damascus, I wished her good luck. ‘Luck doesn’t work in this part of the world,’ was her bleak response.

'Bombs fell like rain. You could only pray': Syrians describe carnage of attack that killed 200 as criticism mounts of China and Russia's UN veto

  • Foreign Secretary William Hague accuses Russia and China of turning their backs on the Arab world
  • Former prime minister, Sir John Major, condemns veto
  • Nobel Peace Prize winner says Russia and China bear moral responsibility for killings in Syria

By Daily Mail UK



Eyewitnesses have described the harrowing moment when 'bombs fell like rain' during the worst violence seen in Syria since protesters began their uprising last year.
More than 200 people, including women and children, were killed by President Bashar al-Assad's Syrian forces in the city of Homs which was battered by mortars and artillery overnight.

Wounded civilians took refuge at a mosque in the Khalidiya district which took the brunt of the shells fired by government forces.




Prayers: Residents attend a burial ceremony in Homs where 'bombs fell like rain'




Dead: A stand-off in the city of Homs claimed the lives of more than 200 lives




Funerals: A burial ceremony for the victims of a shelling by the Syrian army

Residents including Omar Shakir described a night of terror. He told the Sunday Times: 'It was like a machine gun shooting randomly, only much, much heavier.
'The bombs fell like rain. You didn't know where they would fall. You could only pray.'


Several hospitals treating the dead and dying were raided by security forces, according to activists' reports.
The Syrian regime has denied the assault - accusing activists of engaging in a 'hysterical' propaganda campaign - while countries around the world spoke out against the atrocity.

A UN Security Council resolution was vetoed by Russia and China just hours after fighting broke out.
The vote saw all of the other 13 council members, including the UK, US and France, vote in favour of the resolution.

END

Now they are not only raiding the hospitals, they have started bombing them.

Default Britain Steps in to Help Syrian People

We'll help rebels overthrow Syrian murderers: Hague's warning to dictator Assad over escalation in violence



By Daily Mail UK


Britain is to send equipment to help the opposition oust Syrian dictator Bashar Assad after William Hague said there was ‘no limit on what resources we can provide’.



The Foreign Secretary announced plans for a dramatic escalation of support for the rebels as Syrian government forces launched yet another bloody attack on the rebel city of Homs, killing 50 more.
Mr Hague ruled out British military action but said the UK is poised to provide ‘strategic communications’ equipment to help different rebel groups work together against the ‘murderous’ regime in Damascus.

Diplomatic sources compared the situation to the war in Libya and said Britain will seek to provide radios and mobile phones and work with Turkey and other neighbouring nations to allow rebels to broadcast radio programmes into Syria.



The UK will also back fresh European Union sanctions later this month designed to ‘fracture the regime’.
That will see a new crackdown on activities by the Syrian Central Bank and imposing travel bans and asset freezes on regime officials to encourage them to abandon Assad.
Mr Hague recalled the British ambassador to Syria yesterday for talks as violence erupted again, which prompted the U.S. to withdraw all its embassy staff for security reasons.


Syrian forces bombarded Homs, in the west of the country, killing 50 people in a sustained assault on several districts.
That followed a massacre of more than 200 people by tanks and artillery last Friday night, bringing the total death toll since last March to more than 5,400.

Yesterday’s assault saw government troops deploy multiple rocket launchers, as well as tanks and machine guns.


Eyewitnesses said government forces deliberately targeted a makeshift medical clinic and residential areas.



Local man Hussein Nader said: ‘They want to drive the Free Syrian Army out. Rockets are falling seconds apart on the same target.’
Activists said an explosion ripped through an oil pipeline feeding a main refinery in Homs, the second attack on the pipeline in a week.


They added that the opposition-held town of Zabadani, near the Lebanese border, also came under fire. With violence raging, Syria’s ambassador in London was called into the Foreign Office for a carpeting.
In a statement to the Commons, Mr Hague denounced Russia and China after they vetoed a UN Security Council resolution condemning the violence.

Western diplomats are furious with Russia and China, arguing that they bent over backwards in rewriting the resolution so it could not be construed as a precursor to military action – and they still refused to sign it.
Mr Hague accused Russia and China of ‘betraying the Syrian people’. He said: ‘The human suffering in Syria is already unimaginable and is in grave danger of escalating further.
‘They chose to side with the Syrian regime and implicitly to leave the door open to further abuses by them. They did so while President Assad’s tanks were encircling Homs and shells were pounding the homes of Syrian civilians.’




Mr Hague said the Assad regime cannot survive. ‘This is a doomed regime as well as a murdering regime,’ he told MPs. ‘There is no way it can recover its credibility internationally or with its own people.’







Casualties: YouTube footage shows the bodies of three people reportedly killed in shelling on Rastan in the central province of Homs.

In a bid to shame Russia and China, the UK and other countries are planning to pass a resolution condemning the violence in the UN’s General Assembly, where vetoes cannot be used.



The UK will also beef up a diplomatic team under Francis Guy, who is an unofficial ambassador to the Syrian opposition, to ‘intensify’ those contacts.

The team will work to get the Syrian opposition groups to agree a common platform, just as rebels did in Libya.



The Foreign Secretary said: ‘There is no limit on what resources we can provide.

We have provided training in documentation of human rights abuses, in strategic communications and so on. We may be able to do more in the future.’


Mr Hague also announced plans for a new contact group to help the Arab League plan to end the bloodshed
It will see the EU, the Arab League and other countries come together to ‘co-ordinate intensified diplomatic and economic pressure on the regime, and to engage with Syrian opposition groups committed to a democratic future’.

The pitiful face of Syria's suffering: Terribly injured girl whose brother was killed in bombing of Homs could now lose sight

By Daily Mail


Face masked by bandages, she is the tiny victim of a brutal massacre.
Now, lying in a makeshift bed, she pleads with Allah to punish the men who killed her brother and may cost her her sight.

The child, believed to be about five, was one of scores of civilians to be injured during the bombing of the rebel city of Homs by Syrian government troops yesterday.
A video which surfaced online appears to show her being carried through the streets by her distraught father.
She was treated for her injuries - including a leg wound too horrific to show - but it is unclear what hope she has of recovery.

Scroll down for video

Still in danger: Helicopters and tanks are today attacking Homs, leading residents to fear an 'imminent' ground invasion by government forces




Desperate circumstances: The girl sits in a makeshift bed in a building which has provided a temporary refuge for her family

Speaking from her bed today, she said: 'God is greater than you Bashar (the Syrian president). May God deprive you of your children like you deprived me of my brother. What did we do that made you do this to us?'




Today, as Syrian forces continued to bombard Homs with shells raining down every 30 seconds, Britain and America both withdrew their ambassadors from the city of Damascus.

In a statement to the House of Commons, William Hague said that he had also summoned the Syrian ambassador in London to the Foreign Office to make clear its 'abhorrence' at the violence in the country.
He condemned President Bashar Assad's 'doomed' and 'murdering' regime and was highly critical of China and Russia for vetoing a United Nations Security Council resolution aimed at ending the bloodshed.

Mr Hague said their actions were a 'betrayal of the Syrian people' and increased the likelihood of civil war.

'The human suffering in Syria is already unimaginable and is in grave danger of escalating further,' he said. He confirmed that the British ambassador Simon Collins has been withdrawn.

'We will use our remaining channels to the Syrian regime to make clear our abhorrence at the violence that is utterly unacceptable to the civilised world,' he went on.
'The position taken by Russia and China has regrettably made this more likely.


'However this Government, this House, and our country and our allies will not forget the people of Syria.
'We will redouble our efforts to put pressure on this appalling regime and to stop this indefensible violence.'

Russia and China were the only two nations on the 15-strong Security Council to vote against the Arab League-backed resolution.
Mr Hague said: 'They chose to side with the Syrian regime and implicitly to leave the door open to further abuses by them.

'They did so while President Assad's tanks were encircling Homs and shells were pounding the homes of Syrian civilians, killing up to 200 people, and on the 30th anniversary of the massacre in Hama.




Pulling out: America closed its embassy in Damascus

'We regard this veto as a grave error of judgment by the governments of China and Russia.
'There is no need to mince words about this. Russia and China have twice vetoed reasonable and necessary action by the United Nations Security Council.
'Such vetoes are a betrayal of the Syrian people. In deploying them, they have let down the Arab League, they have increased the likelihood of what they wish to avoid in Syria - civil war - and they have placed themselves on the wrong side of Arab and international opinion.'

Mr Hague said that Britain and other nations would consider a resolution at the UN General Assembly, in the absence of a UN Security Council resolution.

As diplomatic pressure intensified, Syrian forces continued to bombard Homs with shells, raining down every 30 seconds.

The attack, which residents claim is aimed at a makeshift hospital run by anti-government forces, has not lapsed since it began at 6am local time.
Activists inside Syria claim that more than 50 people have been killed.

Helicopters and tanks are also attacking Homs, leading residents to fear an 'imminent' ground invasion by government forces.
A British national who has gone to the country to provide humanitarian aid said that the situation is desperate.
Speaking to ITV news from the makeshift hospital in Homs, he said that bodies were being brought in in pieces because they had been hit by heavy artillery. He said many were unrecognisable.

The international community continued to condemn Syria's actions with the U.S. government closing its embassy in Damascus and pulling all its diplomats out.
The mood inside the city is that a final showdown is just hours away. One anti-government protester, known only as Omar, told the BBC: 'This battle will be the last battle.'
The bloodshed comes one day after President Assad's government vowed to continue its crackdown on the nearly 11-month-old uprising.

Brutal: Smoke billows from the Baba Amr neighbourhood after it was bombarded by Syrian troops





It comes two days after another heavy bombardment that claimed the lives of more than 200 people in a single day, the deadliest incident of the uprising so far.
As many as 300 people have been killed in Homs over the weekend.
The regime of President Bashar el-Assad denied any bombardment took place.

William Hague yesterday warned Russia and China that the blood of Syrian protesters will be on their hands for failing to stand up to the ‘murdering’ regime.
The Foreign Secretary could not conceal his anger following their decision to veto a UN resolution calling for al-Assad's resignation.


He said Moscow and Beijing would be ‘held responsible’ for what happens in Syria and that he could not understand their support for a ‘doomed regime as well as a murdering regime’. He warned the veto marked ‘an hour of shame’ for the UN.

His remarks were echoed by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who said the veto was a ‘travesty’ and called for the ‘friends of democratic Syria’ to unite against al-Assad.
Human rights groups say at least 7,000 people have died since the uprising began in March.

A draft resolution condemning Syria was supported by 13 of the 15 UN Security Council members when it was put to a vote on Saturday, meaning it was not adopted.
It was the second time in four months that Russia has obstructed a resolution condemning Syria.
Mr Hague said yesterday: ‘Increasingly, Russia and China will be held responsible for this continuing appalling situation.
‘They are standing in the way of the UN Security Council taking a clear position, backing a very good plan for the way forward by the Arab League. It will have consequences for their influence in the Middle East. They are turning their backs on the Arab world.
‘Russia and China are very isolated in the indefensible position they have taken up.’

The Foreign Secretary also warned that al-Assad could step up his reprisals against anti-government protesters. ‘Will he have been emboldened by the fact that Russia and China vetoed the resolution?’ he said.
‘Yes, I think so and I think it does mean that Russia and China do bear increasingly, as these events continue, increased responsibility for what is happening.’

Bodies laid out for burial. Russia and China vetoed a draft resolution to condemn Syria and thus was not adopted, both to the U.S. and UK's lament

Mrs Clinton, on a visit to the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, this weekend, echoed Mr Hague’s comments.
‘What happened at the United Nations was a travesty,’ she said.
‘We will work to expose those who are still funding the regime and sending it weapons to be used against defenceless Syrians, including women and children.’


An Al Qaeda leader who allegedly masterminded the July 7, 2005 London bombings has reportedly been freed from a Syrian jail.
Abu Musab al-Suri, who is also wanted in connection with the 2004 Madrid train bombings, was apparently released in Aleppo, near the Turkish border, last week.

His release has been interpreted as a warning to the United States and Britain over their failure to support al-Assad during the Syrian uprisings.
END

I hope the closures of the Embassies mean some sort of action will be taken, though I doubt it. Look how long they all talked and discussed when Gadaffi was murdering his people. So many lives could have been saved because of these delays.

Maybe Britain and France will go in alone as they did in Libya and ignore the UN and the US. Sadly they may not be able to afford it, in this present world economic climate. Military Actions and Wars are very expensive.

'Tanks are on the streets of Homs': Syrians at breaking point as ammunition, food and hospital supplies run desperately low

By Daily Mail UK

Desperate Syrians are reaching breaking point as government troops look set to storm rebel-held parts of Homs.
As hospitals struggle to cope with hordes of injured and bloody citizens, opposition fighters are locked in a stand-off with president Bashar Assad's army.
The Free Syrian Army is fighting to protect neighbourhoods including Bab Amr, which has been shelled non-stop for four days, with at least 100 civilians killed there in the past two.



Wounded people: A severely injured man apparently lying in a hospital in shell-battered Homs, from amateur video made available by Shaam News Network

David Cameron yesterday gave the green light to a three point plan to force Syrian dictator Assad to quit, at a meeting of the National Security Council.

As international outrage at the president's actions intensified, Mr Cameron approved plans to train spin-doctors to help opposition leaders win the support of Syrian people into the future.

But on the ground, the rebels are running low on ammunition while food and hospital supplies are sparse.

Homs is largely cut off from the outside world, and its people are finding it increasingly difficult to function.

NGOs including the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claim the Syrian army is mounting a full-on attempt to reclaim rebel-held enclaves.
Rockets and mortar rounds continued to be fired, according to activists, a day after Russia said Assad wants peace.

Tanks entered the Inshaat neighbourhood and moved closer to Bab Amr district, which has been the target of the heaviest barrages by loyalist troops, activists said.

'Tanks are now at Qubab mosque and soldiers have entered Hikmeh hospital in Inshaat. They also moved closer to Bab Amro and shelling is being heard on Karm al-Zeitoun and al-Bayada,' activist Mohammad al-Hassan said by satellite phone from Homs.

'Communications have been cut in many parts of Homs and it is difficult to put together an overall picture. But tanks are in main thoroughfares in the city and appear poised to push deep into residential areas,' he added.

Western and Arab states acted to further isolate Assad following the onslaught on the city, one of the bloodiest of the 11-month uprising.

The official state news agency said 'armed terrorist groups' attacked police roadblocks in Homs and fired mortar bombs at the city, with three falling on the Homs oil refinery, one of two in the country. It gave no details of any damage.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said both countries wanted to revive a monitoring effort by the Arab League, whose plan to resolve Syria's crisis was vetoed by Moscow and Beijing in the U.N. Security Council.

Lavrov - a major arms supplier to Syria with deep political ties to Damascus and a naval facility on its coast - told Assad peace was in Russia's interests.

But there was no indication from Lavrov's comments that the issue of Assad eventually giving up power - a central element of the Arab proposal that failed in the U.N. - had been raised.

Tank bombardment also was reported on Zabadani, a town of 20,000 people 30km (19 miles) northwest of Damascus. The town sits in the foothills of mountains separating Syria from Lebanon, where resistance to Assad's rule has been among the fiercest.

At least ten have been killed in Zabadani in the past two days, activists said.

Around 150 tanks and thousands of troops launched an offensive on Zabadani last week following a withdrawal by Assad's forces last month after a truce reached by Assad's brother-in-law and town officials.

Opposition leaders say the bloodshed means it is too late for Assad to offer compromises and it is time to dismantle the 50-year-old police state dominated by members of his Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam in the majority Sunni Muslim country.

'It is impossible for Assad to govern after bombarding his own cities and towns. He is escalating the use of his military might either to sink Syria into chaos or to improve his negotiating position,' said opposition leader-in-exile Kamal al-Labwani.

The bombardment has killed mainly civilians. The fighters in Homs and other cities have been slipping away but they will be back.'

Mr Labwani said Moscow will either mediate a transitional military council to replace Assad or help him set up a coastal enclave for his sect.

The offensive on Homs and Zabadni followed attacks to regain suburbs of Damascus last week that had fallen under opposition control after months of mass demonstrations against Assad's rule and repeated military incursions that failed to put them down.

Amer Faqih, an activist in Damascus, said: 'We're under occupation. The army has been looting shops and houses and stealing even mattresses. They have cut electricity and telephones for 10 days now, Water and fuel are scarce. Anyone who ventures in the street after 6 p.m. risks being shot on the spot.'

UN Security Council passes plan to deploy Syria monitors




Jim Muir says there is little ceasefire left in Homs and Aleppo.

The UN Security Council has passed a resolution authorising the deployment of an advance team of monitors to Syria to oversee the ceasefire there.
A small group of observers has been poised to leave for Syria as soon as a resolution is passed. Correspondents say they could leave within hours.
The vote comes as a BBC reporter says the ceasefire appears to be in danger of collapsing in some parts of Syria.
Activists said violence in the restive city of Homs left several dead.
The US ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, condemned the bloodshed saying it raises "renewed doubts about the sincerity of the [Syrian] regime's commitment to the ceasefire".

She said the resolution was an important opportunity to stop the bloodshed, adding that the burden was now on the Syrian regime.
But Syria's ambassador to the UN, Bashar Ja'afari, blamed opposition forces for the spike in violence, saying that more than 50 violations had taken place including "many assassinations and sabotage operations".
Syria's opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Council, welcomed the vote.
Eruption of violence The resolution was passed unanimously after Russia approved a revised text, which authorised the deployment of an advance party of 30 unarmed observers.
Diplomats had revised a US-proposed draft on Friday to accommodate Russian objections.
Russia's ambassador said Moscow supported the resolution because of the need for a rapid deployment of observers.
Indeed the UN has said that it intends to increase the deployment to 250 - but that is dependent on certain conditions and will require further approval.
Meanwhile the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut, who has been monitoring developments in Syria, says that in parts of the country the ceasefire seems to be in danger of collapsing, unless something is done to shore it up.
Saturday witnessed a surge in violence, with activists saying at least 20 people killed in several incidents around the country:



British ambassador Mark Lyall Grant: ''Today's resolution is absolutely clear about the commitments that the Syrian regime must now fulfil''

  • In Homs activists said security forces pounded some quarters with tanks and rocket fire
  • Violence was particularly acute in the Qarabis quarter of the city, where video from activists appeared to show immense destruction
  • Several quarters of the city seemed to have a considerable presence of rebel fighters from the Free Syrian Army
  • In Aleppo, in the north of the country, heavy casualties were reported from a shooting at the funeral of a protester
  • Activists said security forces opened fire on mourners, but state television blamed armed rebels opening fire at random
In Geneva, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon welcomed the resolution and also announced that UN aid co-ordinator Valerie Amos would chair a humanitarian forum on Syria in Geneva on 20 April.
He said that about a million people had been displaced inside Syria over the past 13 months of fighting and added that many more had been forced to flee to neighbouring countries.

Mr Annan, the envoy for the UN and Arab League, drew up the plan which called for an advance monitoring team to be deployed immediately to Syria to observe compliance with the truce.

Mr Annan's plan aims to end more than a year of violence in Syria which the UN says has killed more than 9,000 people, mostly civilians.
The resolution passed on Saturday expresses an intention to establish a full mission once there is a sustained cessation of violence. It also puts the onus on the Syrian government to meet its ceasefire commitments.

The text "calls upon all parties in Syria, including the opposition, immediately to cease all armed violence in all its forms."
The BBC's Barbara Plett at the United Nations in New York says that it provides important backing to Mr Annan's peace plan.
Significantly, it is the first time Security Council members have been able to overcome divisions and adopt a resolution on Syria, which is a diplomatic defeat for Damascus, she says.

Russia's Role

Analysts say Russia appears to have been key to persuading President Bashar al-Assad to accept both the Annan plan and the ceasefire.
The terms of this resolution, which Russia backed, call on all parties to observe that truce - and exerts even more pressure on Syria's leaders to withdraw their tanks and forces even further.





More talk talk talk, whilst innocent men, women & children are brutally tortured and murdered.

Red Arrow VIDEO-Syria Bombs Women & Children by Air

Syrian Warplanes Bomb Town Killing Mostly Women and Children

15 August 2012, BEN HUBBARD
The Associated Press

AZAZ, Syria (AP) - Syrian fighter jets have bombed a rebel-held town near the northern border with Turkey, killing at least eight people including a baby and wounding dozens, most of them women and children.
Associated Press reporters in the town saw two bombing runs Wednesday that sent panicked civilians fleeing for cover and reduced homes to rubble.
One man was pulled bloodied but alive from the wreckage of destroyed homes.

An arm of a dead Syrian woman peeks from the rubble of her destroyed house after an air strike destroyed at least ten houses in the town of Azaz on the outskirts of Aleppo, Syria, Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2012.


(AP Photo/ Khalil Hamra)

Injured Syrian women arrive at a field hospital after an air strike hit their homes in the town of Azaz on the outskirts of Aleppo, Syria, Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2012.

‘Brutal’ direction » U.N. released a report accusing Assad’s forces of war crimes.

Azaz, Syria • Syrian fighter jets screamed through the sky Wednesday over this rebel-held town, dropping bombs that leveled the better part of a poor neighborhood and wounded scores of people, many of them women and children buried under piles of rubble. Activists said more than 20 people were killed.




The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 23 people died in the double airstrike and more than 200 were wounded. Mohammed Nour, a local activist reached by phone, put the death toll at 25. Neither figure could be independently confirmed.

Reporters from The Associated Press saw nine dead bodies in the bombings’ immediate aftermath, including a baby.

The bombings sent panicked civilians fleeing for cover. So many were wounded that the local hospital locked its doors, directing residents to drive to the nearby Turkish border so the injured could be treated on the other side. One person’s remains were bundled into a small satchel.

A group of young men found a man buried in the wreckage of destroyed homes, his clothes torn and his limbs dirty, but still alive.

"God is great! God is great!" they chanted as they yanked him out and laid him on a blanket.

Nearby, a woman sat on a pile of bricks that once was her home, cradling a dead baby wrapped in a dirty cloth. Two other bodies lay next to her, covered in blankets. She screamed and threw stones at a TV crew that tried to film her.

The bombing of Azaz, some 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Aleppo, shattered the sense of control rebels have sought to project since they took the area from President Bashar Assad’s army last month. Azaz is also the town where rebels have been holding 11 Lebanese Shiites they captured in May.

The attack came on the same day the U.N. released a report accusing Assad’s forces and pro-government militiamen of war crimes during a May bloodbath in the village of Houla that killed more than 100 civilians, nearly half of them children. It said rebels were also responsible for war crimes in at least three other killings.

The long-awaited report by the U.N. Human Rights Council marks the first time the world body has referred to events in Syria as war crimes — on both the government and rebel sides — and could be used in future prosecutions against Assad or others.

It said the scale of the Houla carnage indicated "involvement at the highest levels" of Syria’s military and government. The council also said the conflict is moving in increasingly brutal directions on both sides.

A wide-ranging tableau of violence and retributions on Wednesday reinforced the U.N.’s warnings.

A blast in central Damascus rattled — but did not injure — U.N. observers, followed by the airstrikes in Azaz. And in tense Lebanon, a powerful Shiite clan that backs Assad said it abducted at least 20 Syrians in retaliation for rebels holding one of their relatives captive in Syria. The rebels accuse the Lebanese man of belonging to Hezbollah, a Shiite Lebanese group allied with Syria and Iran.

The bombing of Azaz brought into stark relief the limits of the rebels’ expanding control of Syria’s north.

In recent months, rebels have pushed the Syrian army from a number of towns in a swath of territory south of the Turkish border and north of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city. About a dozen destroyed tanks and army vehicles are scattered around Azaz, left over from those battles.

As the Assad regime’s grip on the ground slips, however, it is increasingly targeting rebel areas with attack helicopters and fighter jets — weapons the rebels can’t challenge.

Rebels and residents of the Aleppo countryside say the army rarely hits rebel targets, striking instead at residential areas and killing civilians.

The Azaz bombings appeared to fit that pattern.

The first blast seemed to come out of nowhere, shaking the city’s downtown and sending up a huge gray cloud of smoke that sent terrified residents rushing through the streets looking for cover.

Not long after, another jet appeared, dropping bombs nearby.

"We were in the house and heard this plane overhead," said a 36-year-old woman who gave her name as Um Hisham. "There was this huge boom that made my mother pass out in the kitchen."

Hundreds of residents flocked to the bombing sites to inspect the damage and look for dead and wounded in the rubble.

The first blast damaged houses and shattered shop windows along nearby streets. It sheared off the front wall of one home, exposing a man and his wife inside their kitchen, where jars of olives and pickles still sat in the cupboards.

"I saw the plane come down and some missiles fall and then there was smoke all over," said Mohammed Fuad, 18. "When it cleared, we heard screaming and saw rubble all over the streets."

More than a dozen homes were reduced to a huge expanse of broken concrete. Men wandered the area, lifting up bricks and peering through holes in collapsed roofs to see if anyone was stuck underneath.

One group brought a generator and an electric saw to cut through rebar, while others cleared rubble from the road so pickup trucks ferrying the dead and injured could pass.

Many of those gathered screamed at foreign journalists, decrying the international community for not intervening militarily in Syria’s civil war. The revolt that started in March 2011 with protests calling for political change has killed more than 20,000 people, activists say.

Many of the wounded were driven directly to the Turkish border, four miles (six kilometers) to the north.

Nour, the local activist, said there were 15 dead in a hospital in Turkey and 10 who had been buried in the town. He said many more had yet to be counted.

The area appeared to be no more than a poor, residential neighborhood with a few metal workshops, and residents said there were no rebel bases there, though they often do not speak openly about where rebels operate.

Azaz has considered itself "liberated" since rebel forces pushed out the army last month. Its largest rebel group, the Northern Storm Brigade, runs a prison and the nearby border crossing with Turkey. It’s political and media offices are less than a mile (kilometer) away from the bombing site, in the former local headquarters of Assad’s Baath party.

Along with about 15 Syrian prisoners, the rebels are currently holding 11 Lebanese Shiites they detained a month ago. Nour, the activist, said four of them were missing after the bombing, though he was not sure if they had been killed. He said the building they were being held in was hit.

About a dozen rebel fighters in camouflage vests flocked to the scene after the bombings, scanning the skies for more jets. None of them carried more than a Kalashnikov rifle.

In nearby Aleppo, activists reported shelling and clashes in the city, where rebels have taken control of several neighborhoods over the past weeks. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the rebels were trying to take over a key dam in the northern town of Manbij, east of Aleppo. It said the army was using helicopter gunships in the battles along the Euphrates River.

U.S.-based Human Rights Watch said Syrian government fighter planes fired rockets that struck the main hospital in an opposition-controlled area of Aleppo a day earlier, wounding two civilians and causing significant damage. The group said its members visited the damaged hospital.

There were fresh signs Wednesday that the civil war was spilling across the border into Lebanon, a country ravaged by its own 15-year civil war that Syria was deeply involved in, and which is sharply divided between supporters and opponents of Assad’s regime.

Syrian rebels have adopted a new tactic of seizing prisoners from countries or foreign groups allied with the regime to rattle Assad and his allies outside the country, such as the 11 Lebanese Shiites captured in May shortly after they crossed from Turkey on their way to Lebanon. Earlier this month, rebels abducted 48 Iranians near the capital, Damascus.

On Wednesday, Sunni power Saudi Arabia ordered its citizens to leave Lebanon, citing fear of kidnappings by Shiites angry over the rebels taking prisoners from Lebanon and Iran.

In Damascus, a bomb attached to a fuel truck exploded Wednesday outside a hotel where U.N. observers are staying, wounding at least three people, Syrian state TV reported. Activists also reported clashes near the government headquarters and the Iranian Embassy in Damascus.

Default re: Re: VIDEO/Photos-Syria Now Torturing Children!

Revealed: Syria's steroid-mad 'Ghost' killers who keep Assad in power by slaughtering women and children

* They wield AK-47s and machetes to carry out the government's dirty work
* Massacre of 108 in Houla blamed on deadly death squad
* Syrian troops today attacking rebel strongholds with helicopter gunships
* Activists say violence has claimed lives of more than 13,000 people

By Lee Moran, Daily Mail UK


These are the 'Ghost' killer thugs pumped up on steroids who are proving key to keeping Syria's brutal President Bashar Assad in power.
Covered in tattoos of images of their leader, they are blamed for roaming the nation massacring children and women by slitting their throats or shooting them at point-blank range.
Wielding AK-47s and machetes, they are said to carry out the government's dirty work so officials can claim the rampages are not being sponsored by the state.




Pumped up: Areen Al Assad, with a tattoo of Bashar Assad on his bicep, is said to be one of the 'Ghost' killers roaming Syria




Meat-head: Known as the 'Shabiha', they wear combat trousers and black t-shirts and are paid the massive sum of £130 per day (US$200)


Known as the 'Shabiha', translating to 'Ghosts', they wear combat trousers and black t-shirts and are paid the massive sum of £130 per day.
Their modus operandi sees them swarm in to towns after the army has stopped shelling. A source said: 'Their mission is to terrorise the civilian population and conduct ethnic cleansing.'

* I can't rule out sending our troops to Syria, warns Hague as he says country could spiral into Bosnia-style civil war
* Syria's dead are victims of the new Cold War


A massacre of 108 civilians in Houla weeks ago, including 49 children, has been blamed on the group who fanatically follow the Muslim Alawite sect.
They are also reported to have shot dead 12 workers in Qusayr and 78 villagers in Qubair .



Messing about: The 'Ghosts' modus operandi sees them swarm in to towns
after the army has stopped shelling




Muscle man:

Emergence of the death squad pictures comes after William Hague said previously he may have to send troops to Syria if the country spirals into a Bosnian-style civil war

Dr Mousab Azzawi, who runs the Syrian Network for Human Rights from London but had treated some of the Shabiha in Latakia, said recently: 'They were like monsters.
'They had huge muscles, and big bellies and beards. They took steroids to pump up their bodies. I had to talk to them like children as they like people with low intelligence.

That is what makes them so terrifying — the combination of strength and blind allegiance to the regime.'
Emergence of the death squad pictures comes after William Hague said he may have to send troops to Syria if the country spirals into a Bosnian-style civil war.
The Foreign Secretary said Britain would have to 'greatly increase our support for the opposition' if the current United Nations plan for a ceasefire fails, as his office now fears.
Mr Hague repeatedly refused to rule out military action yesterday if Syria descends into 'terrible' sectarian violence.
And he twice compared the violence raging in the Arab state to the conflict in Bosnia, where 12,000 British soldiers were eventually sent, rather than Libya, where the Government resisted sending in ground troops.

Mr Hague told the BBC: 'The reason I don’t rule things out is because we really don't know now how this situation is going to develop or how terrible it is going to become.
'Increasingly the analogy is not with Libya last year but with Bosnia in the 1990s.
'We are on the edge of that kind of sectarian murder on a large scale. So who knows what may be required from the international community to try to deal with that, if it gets going in that way.'

As violence continued to rage, Mr Hague reiterated his message on Sky News.
He said Syria is now 'on the edge of a sectarian conflict in which neighbouring villages are attacking and killing each other so I don’t think we can rule anything out'.

The Foreign Secretary's words will fuel concerns that Britain risks being sucked into another Middle East war with potentially devastating political and humanitarian consequences.

But some diplomats believe the West will be compelled to act if the situation deteriorates and risks dragging in neighbouring countries such as Lebanon and Turkey.
Security sources said one scenario under discussion would see troops deploy to protect aid convoys entering Syria, a task Western soldiers also carried out in the early years of the Bosnian war.
Mr Hague gave credence to that theory by stressing the problems of providing aid to Syria.
'One of the great difficulties here is getting aid to them where fighting is going on and where the regime doesn’t provide access,' he said.

The UK has already provided £8.5million of medical supplies and emergency aid via international agencies.

Violence: A massacre of 108 civilians in Houla weeks ago, including 49 children, has been blamed on the group who fanatically follow the Muslim Alawite sect

Mr Hague said he 'welcomed in principle' a Russian proposal for an international conference on Syria, but warned it must 'lead to a change and not just buy time for the regime to kill more people'.
He said it would be hard to see how Iran could attend the conference - one of Russia's demands - as it had already given Syria technical support and advised the regime on how to suppress protests.
Instead, he said the way forward was to adopt the peace plan of former United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan.

Most diplomats, however, believe that plan is dead in the water, and the Foreign Secretary conceded: ‘Every other solution to the Syrian crisis involves a lot more death.’
Today Syrian troops attacked a rebel-held town in the centre of the country with helicopter gunships and shelled other restive areas across the country, activists said.

The aerial assault targeted the strategic river crossing town of Rastan that has resisted repeated government offensives for months, they added.

It is part of an escalation of violence in recent weeks that comes despite an internationally-brokered cease-fire that was supposed to go into effect on April 12 but never took hold.

Patrol: Syrian troops deployed in Duma, in a suburb of Damascus

'The regime is now using helicopters more after its ground troops suffered major losses,' said Rami Abdul-Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. 'Dozens of vehicles have been destroyed or damaged since the end of May.'

Syria's Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi recently said rebels are now using sophisticated anti-tank missiles. Videos posted by activists over the past week have shown many destroyed tanks and armored personnel carriers.

The Observatory and the Local Coordination Committees also reported government shelling in the central provinces of Homs and Hama, the southern region of Daraa, the northern province of Aleppo, and suburbs of the capital Damascus and Deir el-Zour in the east.

The Observatory reported the deaths of four civilians and an army defector in shelling in the area of Ashara in Deir el-Zour, and said another eight unidentified bodies had been discovered nearby. It reported three dead in the Hama shelling.

In Moscow, the Foreign Ministry said Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will visit Iran on Wednesday. Russia and Iran are Syrian President Bashar Assad's strongest allies. Moscow and China have vetoed two Security Council resolutions that threatened possible sanctions against Syria.

The ministry said in a statement that Russia is not playing the role of advocate for certain Middle East regimes.

'We are speaking for the strict observance of the norms and principles of international law in the interest of supporting regional stability and security in the Near and Middle East and North Africa,' it said.

Syrian activists say the violence has claimed the lives of more than 13,000 people. UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake said on the killings of children in Syria: 'How many more children need to die?

'Repeated calls for the protection of children by all parties in Syria have not yielded positive action. But we must voice again our outrage when seeing the murder of innocents, especially children and women, as reportedly the case in Al-Qubair village in Hama.

'UNICEF appeals once more: spare and protect the children who are in no way responsible for the violence and must not be its victims.'

Default Re: VIDEO/Photos-Syria Now Torturing Children!

24 September 2012 BBC UK

Save the Children urges UN to log Syria child atrocities



Save the Children says Syrian refugee children have been traumatised by their experiences

Children in Syria are being subjected to torture, imprisonment and abduction, and these atrocities should be better documented, according to a new report from British charity Save the Children.

Drawing on the testimony of Syrian refugee children, the charity calls on the United Nations to increase its presence on the ground.
It says almost every child it spoke to has seen a family member killed.
The report comes at the start of the UN General Assembly's annual meeting.

Earlier, UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said the situation in Syria is "extremely bad and getting worse".
Speaking after he had briefed the Security Council following his first visit to Syria since taking up the post, Mr Brahimi admitted he did not have a full plan on how to bring peace.
Although Syria is not formally on the agenda at the UN General Assembly's annual conference, it is expected to dominate discussions.

'Systematic abuse'

Save the Children has documented numerous cases of abuse against children during Syria's 18 month conflict, which was sparked by the arrest and torture of children in the town of Deraa.





Lakhdar Brahimi: "The situation is extremely bad and getting worse"


One 15-year-old told the charity he had cigarettes put out on him when he was imprisoned in what used to be his school.
Another described being given electric shocks and sharing a cell with decomposing bodies, while a third teenager, Wael, said he had seen a six-year-old die after being tortured and starved.

The 16 year-old told the report's authors: "I watched him die. He only survived for three days and then he simply died."
"He was terrified all the time. They treated his body as though he was a dog."

Save the Children's report described the acts as "consistent, recurring and appalling".

It called on the UN to increase its presence on the ground to document violations so that perpetrators can be brought to account.

'No immediate prospect'

Speaking at the UN headquarters in New York on Monday, Mr Brahimi said: "There is no disagreement anywhere that the situation in Syria is extremely bad and getting worse, that it is a threat to the region and a threat to peace and security in the world."
He said there was "no prospect for today or tomorrow to move forward", but added "I think that we will find an opening in the not too distant future".




Fighting is continuing in Syria's second city, Aleppo

The BBC's Barbara Plett at the UN says Mr Brahimi's mission to forge a political solution seems almost impossible, with the two parties intent on fighting rather than talking, and the Security Council deeply divided.
The UN says more than 20,000 people have been killed since anti-government protests began in Syria in March 2011. Activists put the death toll as high as 30,000.
Violence continued across the country on Monday, with activists saying the government had bombed parts of the second city, Aleppo.
The Local Co-ordination Committees, an opposition activist network, reported that at least 40 people had died in fighting, including 13 in Aleppo.
The group said the victims included three children from one family killed in air strikes in the central district of Maadi.

In addition to the fighting in Aleppo, anti-government activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that a five year-old girl and a man were killed during the bombardment of the southern town of Dael, in Deraa province.
Clashes between government forces and rebels were also reported in the north-eastern and north-western districts of the capital, Damascus.

More than 260,000 Syrians have fled to neighbouring countries, the UN says. There are also thought to be more than 1.2 million internally displaced people, and 2.5 million in need of humanitarian assistance.
END


I dont know what you guys think, but I am thinking - what the hell is wrong with the rest of the world, that allows all this murder, torture and continuing abuse of other human beings??? What no oil in Syria and Museums to be robbed? is that why the powers that be are not doing something to stop this. Reminds me of the millions of people that were allowed to be slaughtered by Germany in World War 2, before action was taken by the US and that was only because Winston Churchill had to bribe the US, with the Lib/Land Pact... to get them to help the other allied countries fight Hitler and his henchmen.


Oh silly me I forgot something more important was happening,,,, the US has an election coming up...

Thumbs down PHOTOS -Syria- Historical Souk Destroyed by Fire

Syria Conflict: Aleppo's Souk Burns as Battles Rage

BBC News, 30 September 2012

The BBC's Jim Muir says the souk was once a "magnet for tourists", as amateur footage purportedly from the area showed widespread damage


A blaze has swept though ancient markets in Aleppo, activists say, as rebels and government forces seek to gain control of Syria's largest city.
Reports say hundreds of shops in the souk, one of the best preserved in the Middle East, have been destroyed.
Unesco, which recognises Aleppo's Old City as a world heritage site, described the damage as a tragedy.
On the third day of a rebel offensive, battles broke out in the Old City and the Arkub district, reports said.
The fire, believed to have been triggered by shelling and gunfire, began on Friday but was still burning on Saturday, reports said.
"It's a big loss and a tragedy that the old city has now been affected," Kishore Rao, director of Unesco's World Heritage Centre, told the Associated Press.


Disaster
The market stalls lie beneath the city's towering 13th Century citadel, where activists say regime troops and snipers have taken up positions.




Activists quoted by Reuters news agency said that the presence of snipers was making it difficult to approach the Souk al-Madina, once a major tourist attraction.
Reports estimate that between 700 and 1,000 shops have been destroyed so far.
"It's a disaster. The fire is threatening to spread to remaining shops," one activist, Ahmad al-Halabi, told AP.
He said the Syrian authorities had cut off the water supply, making attempts to control the fire more difficult.
Rebels and civilians were working together to limit the fire with a few fire extinguishers, he added.
The fire took hold with speed, fuelled by the many shops' wooden doors and the clothes, fabrics and leather goods sold inside.

Heavy clashes erupted at several military sites in the city on Saturday evening, Reuters reports.
Fighting was reported at the Neirab military base as well as Bab Antakya, a stone gateway to the Old City.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based activist group, said the focal point for fighting was Salaheddin, a rebel stronghold on the south-west side of the city.
State television reported attacks on what it called "terrorist centres" in 10 different locations on Saturday, saying heavy losses had been inflicted.
The BBC's Jim Muir, in Beirut, says that though both sides have reported clashes in different parts of the city, the signs are that the rebels simply lack the firepower and the manpower to score a significant breakthrough.
"No-one is actually making gains here, it is just fighting and more fighting, and terrified people are fleeing," one activist told Reuters.
Activists estimate more than 27,000 people have died in the violence since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began last year.

Syrian conflict: Reader Pictures of Aleppo's Souk and Old City




Aleppo's medieval souk caught fire as rebels and government forces battled for control in the Old City on Friday. UNESCO described the damage to the World Heritage site as "a tragedy". BBC News website readers have shared their photos and memories of Aleppo's heritage in quieter times.

It's not just tourists and locals shopping at the souk. Hugh was struck by the sight of this donkey browsing the goods.


Reports say hundreds of shops in the souk, one of the best preserved in the Middle East, have been destroyed. Hugh Anderson went to the Aleppo souk with his girlfriend in 2007, while she was studying Arabic at Damascus University.

Red Arrow Turkey Fires on Syria After Deadly Shelling attack

Turkey Approves Military Action In Syria After Shelling Kills 5 In Akcakale

Turkey Fires on Syria Army Post in Retaliation, -asks UN Security Council to take emergency methods

AP 4 October 2012


AKCAKALE, Turkey -- Turkey's deputy prime minister says Syria has admitted it was responsible for the shelling that killed five civilians in Turkey and has formally apologized for the deaths.
Besir Atalay says Thursday that Syria has reassured the U.N. that "such an incident will not occur again."

The cross-border tensions escalated on Wednesday after a shell fired from inside Syria landed on a home in the Turkish village of Akcakale, killing a woman, her three daughters and another woman, and wounding at least 10 others, according to Turkish media.

Turkey's Parliament authorized military operations against Syria and its military fired on targets there for a second day on Thursday after deadly shelling from Syria killed five civilians in a Turkish border town. The border violence has added a dangerous new dimension to a conflict that is pulling Syria's neighbors deeper into what already resembles a proxy war.
Turkey's deputy prime minister said Parliament's authorization is not declaration of war on Syria, but should act as a deterrent.

The cross-border tensions escalated on Wednesday after a shell fired from inside Syria landed on a home in the Turkish village of Akcakale, killing a woman, her three daughters and another woman, and wounding at least 10 others, according to Turkish media.
Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said the bill gives Turkey the right to respond to any future attacks from Syria.
"The bill is not for war," he said of the bill. "It has deterrent qualities."
The bill opens the way to unilateral action by Turkey's armed forces inside Syria, without the involvement of its Western and Arab allies. Turkey uses a similar provision to attack suspected Kurdish rebel positions in northern Iraq.

The Turkish retaliation is the latest in a series of events that have sharply escalated tensions between the two neighbors that were once allies.
In June, Turkey reinforced its border with anti-aircraft missiles and threatened to target any approaching Syrian military elements after Syrian forces brought down a Turkish jet, killing its two pilots. Turkey said the plane was in international airspace, countering Syrian claims that it was in Syrian airspace.
But Atalay said Turkey's "main priority" was to "act together with the international community."
"That is why we called on NATO and the United Nations to take up the issue," Atalay said, adding that the bill
"It is something that we can assess if the need arises," he said.
Turkish response was prompt. It fired salvos of artillery rounds deep inside Syria. The NATO military alliance, of which Turkey is a member, met at an emergency session in Brussels, condemned the attack on Turkey and demanded "the immediate cessation of such aggressive acts against an ally." It also urged the Syrian regime to "put an end to flagrant violations of international law."

Mustafa Guclu, a witness in Akcakale, said the Turkish military fired five rounds of artillery "after midnight" and another round around 5 a.m. on Thursday.
"I have not heard any more shelling since then," he told the Associated Press.
The Syrian mortar shell damaged the door and walls of a house in Akcakale, while shrapnel poked holes and shattered windows of neighboring houses and shops.
Some residents of Akcakale abandoned their homes close to the border and spent the night on the streets. Others gathered outside the local mayor's office, afraid to return to their homes as the dull thud of distant artillery fire rumbled across the town.

The Turkish retaliatory shelling and steps to authorize possible military intervention is the latest in a series of events that have sharply escalated tensions between the two neighbors that were once allies.
In June, Turkey reinforced its border with anti-aircraft missiles and threatened to target any approaching Syrian military elements after Syrian forces brought down a Turkish jet, killing its two pilots.

Important Obama Threatens Syria of 'Serious Consequences' > Chemical Weapons

Barack Obama Warns Assad of Chemical Weapons 'Consequences'

US president reacts to reports that sensitive chemical weapons parts have
been moved around the country by the Assad regime

The Guardian UK, 4 December 2012

Barack Obama has warned the Syrian regime that any use of chemical weapons on its own people would be "totally unacceptable" and would result in "consequences".

In strongly-worded remarks directed at President Bashar al-Assad, the US president said "the world is watching" and would act if the authorities escalated the conflict through the use of chemical warfare.

Intelligence reports suggest sensitive chemical weapons parts have been moved around the country in recent days. This has raised fears that the regime is considering unleashing chemical weapons = on opposition forces.

Obama told a gathering of nuclear proliferation experts in Washington: "The use of chemical weapons is, and would be, totally unacceptable and if you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will be consequences and you will be held accountable."

Obama did not outline what consequences would be taken.

His words echoed a similar warning to Damascus from the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton: "I am not going to telegraph any specifics what we do in the event of credible evidence that the Assad regime has resorted to using chemical weapons against their own people, but suffice to say we are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur."

CNN reported that Syrian forces had started to combine chemicals to make deadly sarin gas which it could deploy against anti-government fighters. The network cited an unnamed US official as the source of its report.

Damascus has denied the suggestion that it would resort to chemical warfare. "Syria has stressed repeatedly that it will not use these types of weapons, if they were available, under any circumstances against its people," the foreign ministry said on Monday.

With little indication of an end to the conflict in Syria and signs that Assad's regime is becoming more desperate in the face of persistent opposition forces, the United Nations is preparing to evacuate all non-essential staff from Syria.

Those who remain in the country will be on standby to move to places of safety, said the UN, citing the "prevailing security situation" amid growing fears in Washington that the beleaguered regime is considering using chemical weapons.
The European Union also announced it was cutting its activities in the country.

On a fast-moving day of diplomatic and military action, the Syrian government's foreign ministry spokesman, Jihad Makdissi, was reported to have defected.

The UN's under-secretary for safety and security, Gregory Starr, said it had cancelled all missions to Syria from abroad and suspended its activities inside the country. The decision marks the final step before a full-scale evacuation, a move that has not been ordered at any point during Syria's steady descent into chaos over the past 20 months.

Up to 25 of about 100 foreign staff may leave this week, the UN said, adding that more armoured vehicles were needed after attacks in recent weeks on humanitarian aid convoys and the hijacking of goods or vehicles. Some convoys were caught in crossfire between government and rebel forces, it said, including an incident near the airport in which two staff were injured.

The UN deploys more than 1,000 national and international staff in Syria, but its Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs said movement and communications had become more difficult due to intensified fighting near the capital and a 48-hour internet blackout last week.

Red Arrow 300+ Abducted In Syria-Violence Increases

Hundreds Kidnapped In Syria: Britain's Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Reports 300 Abducted

By BEN HUBBARD. 02/16/13





BEIRUT — A rural patch of north Syria has been shaken by a series of tit-for-tat, sectarian kidnappings, anti-regime activists said Saturday, highlighting how much the country's civil war has enflamed tensions between different religious groups.


While all activists agreed that kidnappings had spiked in recent days between armed men in neighboring Shiite and Sunni Muslim villages, reports of the numbers kidnapped by both sides ranged from a few dozen to more than 300.

The kidnappings and the raw feelings they have provoked bode ill for the chances of reconciliation between Syrians, many of whom have come to see the civil war as either a sacred battle to advance their faith or a mortal struggle for the survival of their sect.
Since Syria's crisis began with protests calling for political reforms in March 2011, it has gradually grown more sectarian. Most of the rebels who have taken up arms to topple the regime of President Bashar Assad are from Syria's Sunni majority. Assad himself is an Alawite, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, and has heavily stocked his security forces with fellow Alawites and Shiites.
The rise of Islamic fundamentalists among the rebels makes many among Syria's minorities – including Alawites, Shiites, Christians, Armenians and others – fear that a rebel victory could leave them with no place in Syria.

The spate of kidnappings in recent days in the northern Idlib province, which lies along the border with Turkey, provides one example of how Syria's crisis has raised the specter of increasingly sectarian violence.
Local activists said Sunni-Shiite tensions were rare in the area before Syria's crisis began, and that residents of the only two Shiite villages, Fua and Kifarya, moved freely through the constellation of Sunni villages around them.

Tensions rose, however, after the crisis began and opposition members armed themselves to fight back against Assad's harsh crackdown on dissent. Most of the Sunni villages embraced the uprising, while the Shiites stood by the regime. Many say the government armed its supporters to help fight the rebels.
Kidnappings grew common last year, as rebels set up checkpoints to catch Shiites they accused of being "shabiha," or pro-government militiamen, and Shiite gunmen did the same to capture rebels they considered terrorists. Elders from both communities remained in contact, arranging prisoner exchanges to avoid violence.

Most agree that the recent kidnappings started when unknown gunmen stopped a bus carrying Shiite civilians and kidnapped all its passengers on Thursday. Many of the passengers were women and children and their kidnapping was seen as a harsh escalation, especially in the conservative culture of north Syria.

"Before, it was all militiamen catching rebels. It was all part of the war," activist Bahaideen Abdel-Razaq in the village of Sarmeen said via Skype. "But kidnapping of women and children had never happened before."

Soon after, Shiite gunmen began kidnapping residents of nearby Sunni villages, he said, stopping public busses carrying them on rural highways or on their way into the province's regional capital, which is still under regime control.
Many details remain unclear, such as how many people have been kidnapped from the two sides.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 40 Shiites, including women and children, were on the bus when they were captured by unknown gunmen. Since then, Shiite gunmen have kidnapped more than 300 people from nearby Sunni villages, the group said.
Anti-regime activists reached in four nearby villages suggested the number was smaller. Two said no more than 10 people had been taken from their villages. About 15 were missing from Saraqib, and as many as 40 had been taken from Sarmeen, Abdel-Razaq said.
Some activists doubted the story of the bus disappearing.
An activist from the nearby village of Binnish accused the regime of concocting the story.

"We deal with armed groups all over the region and no one has any information" on who kidnapped the bus, said Ahmed, who spoke on condition that only his first name be published to protect his family. "If this is true, give us the names of those who have been kidnapped."
The Observatory said gunmen from Fua refused to state the bus's make and color – "an issue that raises suspicion," it said.

The Associated Press was unable to reach residents of the Shiite villages. A message sent by a reporter to a Facebook page for Fua received an unnamed response.

"We will liberate our prisoners by force and we seek help from no one," it said. "We know how to fight, be victorious and take revenge."

It was unclear who wrote the message.
What is clear is that most Sunni activists and rebels expect an armed showdown between the two communities. Some say they see no place for Shiites in the area's future.

"We have warned them that everything in Fua is a target and that everyone who wants to save himself from the problems should leave," said activist Maher Abdel-Ghani, who often works with Islamic extremist rebel battalions.
"God willing, we'll soon liberate the whole area and there will be nothing left called Fua or Kifarya," he said. "Those two villages will be erased because they have harmed us a lot."

Also Saturday, a power outage plunged Damascus and much of southern Syria into darkness, the state news agency reported, quoting Electricity Minister Imad Khamis.
The blackout affected Syria's capital and the southern provinces of Daraa and Sweida, which abut the Jordanian border.
An Associated Press reporter in Damascus reported dark streets across the capital. A fuel shortage makes it hard for residents to run backup generators.
A similar blackout struck the same areas on Jan. 20. The government blamed that outage on a rebel attack, and power was restored to most areas the following day.

The Syrian capital's 2.5 million residents have grown used to frequent power cuts as the country's conflict has damaged infrastructure and sapped the government's finances.

The U.N. says nearly 70,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict since March 2011.

Thumbs down Russia Confirms Killer Missiles Supply to Syria

Moscow Confirms Weapons Supply to Syria

Vladimir Radyuhin, The Hindu, Moscow, 18 May 2013




Wikimedia Commons -The Yakhont anti-ship missile


Moscow reaffirmed ongoing supplies of weapons to Syria even as U.S. reported new Russian missile deliveries. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed the uproar in Western media over Russian arms supplies to Syria.

“We do not conceal it that we supply weapons to Syria under signed contracts; we are not violating either any international agreements, nor our own weapon export control legislation, one of the strictest in the world,” Mr. Lavrov said on Friday after talks with visiting United Nations (U.N.) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

“We are first and foremost supplying defence weapons related to air defence. This does not alter the balance of power in the region in any way or create any advantage in the fight against the opposition,” he stressed.

An unnamed U.S. official said on Thursday, Russia had delivered a new shipment of “killer” missiles to Syria. The 290-km Yakhont missile is the Russian prototype of the Indo-Russian Brahmos supersonic anti-ship missiles.
The shipment is apparently designed to provide additional firepower to the two batteries of the Bastion anti-ship systems with 72 Yakhont missiles that Russia supplied to Syria in 2011.

The U.S. official told The New York Times that the newly supplied missiles have improved radar guidance that enable them to better evade a ship’s defences.

Earlier this month, media reports said Russia is about to supply S-300 advanced air defence systems to Syria. Western leaders, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during their recent visits to Russia tried in vain to persuade President Vladimir Putin to stop the supplies.

Movies IS Jihadist GUILTY of Torture & Beheadings-Bereaved Get Justice

Deadly Terror Attack in London Street


Alleged attacker is filmed brandishing knife and cleaver
• Two suspects shot by armed police
• Ministers holding emergency Cobra meeting


Guardian UK, Wednesday 22 May 2013

Dramatic footage of the suspected terrorist attack near the Woolwich barracks today that left one man dead has emerged, showing a man with blood covered hands using jihadist rhetoric to justify the violence.

As the government's emergency committee Cobra convened in central London to assess the implications of the incident, ITV News broadcast footage of one of the alleged attackers.
Brandishing a cleaver and a knife, and with the body of the victim lying yards away, the man said:

"We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
"We must fight them. I apologise that women had to witness this today.
"But in our land our women have to see the same.

"You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you."

The man then walks away and talks to another suspected attacker.
Later footage shows the aftermath after the two suspects were shot by Police


Police at the scene in Woolwich, south London, where a man was killed and two others were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds following a 'serious incident'. BBC screengrab

The home secretary, Theresa May, called a meeting of the government's emergency Cobra committee in response to the incident.
It is believed the person died after suffering knife injuries, possibly around the head area.

Two people have been taken to hospital after they were shot by armed police.

There were reports that the man who was fatally attacked was wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt.
The Woolwich and Greenwich MP, Nick Raynsford, said it was his understanding that one person, a serving soldier, was dead but there was no immediate confirmation of this from the Ministry of Defence.

May tonight confirmed she has been briefed by the Director General of the Security Service MI5 on the "sickening and barbaric" incident.

May said: "It has been confirmed to me that a man has been brutally murdered this afternoon in south-east London. Two other men were shot by armed police and they are currently receiving treatment for their injuries."

The prime minister, David Cameron, described the killing as "truly shocking" and said he had asked the home secretary to chair a meeting of Cobra, the government's emergency committee. Cobra only meets for the most serious incidents.

A separate source told the Guardian that the initial version of events was that a man was attacked by two other people. Those suspects were then shot by armed police called to the scene.

Commander Simon Letchford, from Woolwich police, said: "At approx 14.20 we were called to reports of an assault in John Wilson Street, Woolwich where one man was being assaulted by two other men. A number of weapons were reportedly being used in the attack, and this included reports of a firearm.
"Officers including local Greenwich officers arrived at the scene and shortly after firearms officers arrived on the scene. On their arrival at the scene they found a man, who was later pronounced dead. At this early stage I am unable to provide any further information about the man who has died.
"Two men, who we believe from early reports to have been carrying weapons, were shot by police. They were taken to separate London hospitals, they are receiving treatment for their injuries."

Chiefs at the Woolwich barracks were understood to be trying to account for military personnel, amid reports the dead person may have been connected to the military. The incident happened 300-400 metres from the perimeter of the barracks.
The barracks is home to the Princess of Wales regiment and the Kings Troop, which is a ceremonial unit, that relocated to Woolwich last year.

The Independent Police Complaints Commissionis investigating the shooting by police, (which is standard in cases where officers open fire,)
in a statement said it had "been made aware by Metropolitan Police Service of an incident in Woolwich, south London. IPCC investigators have been deployed to the scene and to the post-incident process. The IPCC has declared this as an independent investigation."
Earlier Raynsford said: "The incident occurred early afternoon. One individual is dead, two others are seriously injured and in hospital.
"We think a serving soldier was the victim. We don't know the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"We do know a number of weapons have been seized. They include a gun, various knives, and a machete, apparently."

to be continued......

Default re: Photos/Videos-Terrorist Murderer Attacked in Prison

Lady Scout Leader, Reasoned With London Attackers


By GREGORY KATZ, HuffPost/Daily Mail UK, 23/5/13





The three Angels of Woolwich:
The brave women who confronted fanatics who butchered and tried to behead soldier and prayed next to his body


The first heroine, described as a religious woman in her 50s, bravely approached the attackers as they roam the streets covered in blood and demanded they let her sit next to the victim. As she comforts him in the middle of the road, a second woman stands over her in an act of solidarity (pictured). Meanwhile, Cub Scout leader Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, remonstrated with the other alleged murderer, who ranted at her: 'We want to start a war in London tonight'. Standing firm, the mother-of-two replies: 'Right now it is only you versus many people. You are going to lose'.



Ingrid Loyau-Kennett got off a bus and tried to reason with the two attackers after she tried to help the man lying on the street but found he had no pulse and was already dead.
The 48-year-old mother kept talking to the two bloody attackers before police came, trying to keep them calm.

Loyau-Kennett, who lives in Cornwall in southwest England, told several British media outlets Wednesday night and Thursday morning that she was returning from a trip to France and was visiting her children in London when the bus she was on stopped because of the melee.
She said she saw a crashed car and the victim lying on the street and tried to help him since she had been trained in first aid. She had determined the man was dead by the time the attackers confronted her.
She said a man "with a black hat and a revolver in one hand and a cleaver in the other came over" and excitedly warned her to stay away from the body.


"I asked him why he had done what he had done," The Guardian quoted her as saying. "He said he had killed the man because he (the victim) was a British soldier who killed Muslim women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was furious about the British Army being over there."


When the man told her he was going to kill police when they arrived, she asked him if that was reasonable and tried to keep him engaged.
Then she spoke to the other attacker, who she described as quiet and shy.


"I asked him if he wanted to give me what he was holding in his hand, which was a knife, but I didn't want to say that," she said. "He didn't agree and I asked him: `Do you want to carry on?' He said: `No, no, no.' I didn't want to upset him," she is quoted as saying in The Guardian.


Prime Minister David Cameron Thursday praised Loyau-Kennett's performance in the tense situation and said she "spoke for all of us" when she told the first attacker that he could not win the war he said he was hoping to start on the streets of London.
Cameron said the presence of mind she and others in the vicinity showed despite the danger was an indication of how Britain would triumph over terrorism by standing together.


Loyau-Kennett said she was not scared and that the armed men did not seem to be drunk or on drugs. She said she was trying to keep them occupied so they didn't get more agitated.
She re-boarded her bus shortly before police arrived, watching from the bus as police shot the two suspects, who are both receiving treatment in hospital.


"The officers shot them in the legs, I think" she says in The Guardian.

Drummer Lee Rigby Identified As Killed Soldier In London Attack

Daily Mail UK, 23/5/2013


'Lee was lovely and would do anything for anyone':
Family's tribute to innocent 'Riggers', 25, 'butchered in street by Muslim fanatics'





The murdered British soldier executed by two Islamist fanatics was tonight named as Lee Rigby. The 25-year-old 'cheeky and humorous' serviceman - described as a 'loving father' to his two-year-old son Jack - was identified as police guarded his home in Middleton, Greater Manchester. Drummer Rigby, a keen football fan who followed Manchester United FC, was just starting his Army career and had recently fought in Afghanistan with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. But as he walked towards the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, south-east London, yesterday afternoon, he was run down by a car on the pavement and hacked to death in a shocking attack.

RIP lovely Lee, play your drums for the Angels

By Daily Mail UK, 23 May 2013


Two men who allegedly slaughtered a soldier in a Woolwich street were known to security services, it emerged today.


David Cameron revealed that authorities were looking into what was already known about Drummer Lee Rigby's alleged killers, but it is not thought they were considered to be an immediate threat.

One of the men, believed to be Michael Adebolajo, is believed to have been arrested after he went to Somalia to join banned Islamist group al Ahabaab.

Eyewitness Jamie France, 29, said that his mother had seen Adebolajo preaching as recently as last week.

He said: 'She said she'd seen him last week preaching in Woolwich town centre. She said she remembers him because he'd been really angry and was saying all this political stuff.'

In an extraordinary day of events, Scotland Yard announced that another 1,200 police officers were being put onto the streets and several houses were raided as part of the investigation.

  • Suspects then 'went for police with machetes, a knife and handgun'
  • Witness: 'I don't think they cared. Police were only ones who did shooting'
  • Pupils cower in terror as jihadist killer totes gun near their school

A rapper who witnessed the shocking Woolwich attack revealed the true horror of the situation as he posted a series of tweets from the scene.
Boya Dee was among a number of eyewitnesses who saw the incident yesterday from start to finish, and described how the suspects tried to attack police officers after hacking at a man with a machete.

He wrote: 'The two black bredas [brothers] run this white guy over then hop out the car and start chopping mans head off with machete!!'

In another dramatic tweet, he added:

'The first guy goes for the female fed [police officer] with the machete and she not even ramping [messing about] she took man out like robocop never seen nutn [nothing] like it.'

It was confirmed by police last night that two men had been arrested and officers from the counter-terrorist unit were leading the investigation into the killing.

Another eyewitness revealed how he watched the two attackers behave like 'crazed animals'.
The man, known only as James, said he and his partner saw two black men attack a young man aged around 20 in a Help for Heroes T-shirt in Woolwich, south-east London, like he was ‘a piece of meat’.

Fighting back tears, he said:

‘They were hacking at this poor guy, literally. They were chopping him, cutting him. These two guys were crazed. They were just animals.
'They dragged him from the pavement, dumped his body in the middle of the road and left (it) there.’
He said that after the ‘horrendous’ attack, the two men, in their 20s, stood around, waving knives and a gun, even asking people nearby to take pictures of them ‘as if they wanted to be on TV’.

‘They were oblivious to anything, they were more worried about having their photo taken, running up and down the road,’ he said. ‘They had no intention of running off or leaving or anything.
‘In my opinion, they were waiting for the police to arrive to be shot by the police. That's the only thing I can think. It's horrendous what they were doing to that guy.’

'CRAZED KILLER SEEN PREACHING IN TOWN CENTRE A WEEK AGO'



An eyewitness claimed one
of the soldier's suspected attackers was seen last week preaching in Woolwich town centre.





The man, identified by Anjem Choudary as Michael Adebolajo, 28, is seen in footage from 2007 standing behind the hate preacher. Tonight Choudary told the MailOnline: 'I think it was a demonstration but it was a long time ago now.'



Jamie France, 29, a musician who lives on the 18th floor of the block of flats which overlook the scene, said: 'I spoke to my mum on the phone and showed her the video footage from the internet and she told me that she recognised one of the men with the knife.
'She said she'd seen him last week preaching in Woolwich town centre.

'She said she remembers him because he'd been really angry and was saying all this political stuff.
'It was the man wearing the black bobble hat (pictured above) in the video.'

When armed police arrived 20 minutes later, 'the man with the beanie hat, the tall guy, he charged at the police vehicle,' James said.
‘A shot was fired by the other guy with the gun.'

Another witness, Julia Wilders, 51, who lives near the scene, said she saw one of the attackers run towards police clutching two meat cleavers.
'He ran towards police before they could even get out of the car, and it looked like the other one was going to lift the gun up,' she said.

'We were driving back and my husband said to me, 'Don't look, they're resuscitating someone'. But apparently they were stabbing him.'

Her husband Graham, 50, said: 'As I drove round I saw a man lying on the floor.
'It looked like another man was trying to resuscitate him, but then he pulled a handgun out in the air.'

He said the person with the gun was a black man, wearing a black top, jeans and a hat.
Mr Wilders added: 'I saw a bunch of schoolkids come up. I shouted at the teachers: "Get the kids in school because there's someone there with a handgun".'

'MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO DIE': PUPILS COWER AS KILLER TOTES GUN NEAR SCHOOL

Shocked pupils cowered in terror as one of the jihadist killers toted a gun near their school, their parents said today.
Children at Mulgrove Primary School heard the popping of gunshots before they were rushed away from windows by teachers and into the safety of the school hall.
Mother-of-two Chkondi Mhango, 34, said her 10-year-old daughter Collete was left terrified she was going to die.
She said: 'She saw a man holding a weapon, a gun. I don't think she saw any blood, but she was really shaken up.
'She kept saying to me "mummy, what if I had died? What if he had come in and shot everybody in the school?"
'I think some of the kids who saw it were by the playground and then they were told to go inside by the teachers.

Worried parents dropped their children off at the primary school in Woolwich this morning ducking under the blue and white police cordon to make their way to the school gates.
Mother-of-two Judy Mason said: 'I feel numb, it is horrific.
'We are scared there might be reprisals. These two monsters are destroying things, holding us back.'

Mr Wilders told the BBC: 'Apparently they actually ran the car into him and knocked him down before they did anything.'
He then described how he saw one of the men pull out a handgun.
'It was a gun that looked as if it could take about 12, 15 rounds so I definitely know it was handgun because I actually seen it in his hand,' he said.
'He didn't fire the gun. All I heard was four shots when the Trojan people turned up. These men actually went for the police with the machetes, knife and handgun.
'I don't think they cared. I don't think they really cared because they went for the police with a handgun. The police were the only ones who did any shooting.'

Remarkably, in the midst of the carnage, one brave woman faced down the killers and calmly asked the armed men if she could nurse the dying soldier.
According to one witness, she begged them: 'Let me comfort him'.
The men shouted that no man could pass before allowing her to kneel beside the body, where she appeared to pray for him.

Joe Tallant, 20, told the Daily Mirror how the woman, in her 50s, approached the men without fear.
He said: ‘She is a very religious woman. She saw everything and wanted to comfort the man.
‘She just walked straight up to them with no fear. She put her hands on his chest and I think she prayed for him. The poor man’s head was beside her.’

A mother confronted the Woolwich attackers, asking them to hand over their weapons and warning them: 'It is only you versus many people, you are going to lose'.

Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, 48, told the Daily Telegraph that one of the attackers said to her that they 'want to start a war in London tonight'.

The mother of two, a Cub Scout leader from Cornwall, added: 'Being a Cub leader I have my first aid so when I saw this guy on the floor I thought it was an accident - then I saw the guy was dead and I could not feel any pulse.
'And then when I went up there was this black guy with a revolver and a kitchen knife, he had what looked like butcher's tools and he had a little axe, to cut the bones, and two large knives, and he said, 'Move off the body'.
'So I thought, 'OK, I don't know what is going on here', and he was covered with blood. I thought I had better start talking to him before he starts attacking somebody else. I thought these people usually have a message so I said, 'What do you want?'
'I asked him if he did it and he said yes, and I said, "Why?" And he said because he has killed Muslim people in Muslim countries, he said he was a British solider and I said, "Really?" And he said, "I killed him because he killed Muslims and I am fed up with people killing Muslims in Afghanistan, they have nothing to do there".'
Mrs Loyau-Kennett said that the attacker seemed to be 'in full control of his decisions and ready to do everything he wanted to do'.
She added: 'I said, "Right now it is only you versus many people, you are going to lose, what would you like to do?" and he said, "I would like to stay and fight".'

Local Muslim Lucky Awale witnessed the attack as she made her way home with her sister.
She said: 'When we got near we saw this guy with dark clothes holding the knife and talking like a crazy man, saying 'this Government needs to change', things like that.
'He wasn't scared, he was saying "call the police".'
She said the men could not be real Muslims but suggested they had their own reasons for doing it.
'We live multiculturally, all kinds of people live here, all kinds of religions,' she added.
'For incidents like this to happen in the name of Muslims, it sends the wrong impression to people like the EDL, thinking that Muslims would be like that.'

Mrs Awale said her sympathy was with the dead man's family and she was scared that such a violent attack could happen where she lived.
She continued: 'We are scared as a community today. My sister lives near here and she is scared to come out, she is scared of the EDL and everything.
'Our kids are big enough to go to school by themselves but today we had to take them because we are scared.
'We are just asking for people not to take the wrong impression, the wrong idea, and take revenge on Muslims.'

Cheryl Spruce, who lives near the incident, told Sky News that a nearby school was put into ‘lockdown’. She said: ‘The police were telling us to take an alternative route to get to school.
‘There were police everywhere. There were 30 to 40 police officers. Police officers in each road were stopping people from walking anywhere. It's mayhem out there at the moment.’

John Wilson Street was shut in both directions between Artillery Place and New Ferry Approach.

Default re: Photos/Videos-Terrorist Murderer Attacked in Prison




Daily Mail UK 23 May 2013


Today, a group of military wives, some pushing prams, arrived to lay flowers at the main gates of the barracks today to pay their respects to the dead soldier.

One of the women, in her 20s, who did not want to be named, said: 'We live just outside the base. We are all just very numb at the moment - shaken up and very shocked.
'It could have been any one of our husbands.'
'He was a young guy who cared very much about his job, like they all do. I think he was in training.'

The barracks, also known as the Woolwich station, now houses a number of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery and independent companies of the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards.
Woolwich Common remains a designated military training area. The shooting events at the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics were held at a temporary venue at the Barracks.


SOLDIER WAS WEARING A HELP FOR HEROES HOODIE WHEN HE WAS KILLED




Hoodie: A Help for Heroes top like the one the murdered soldier was wearing


The soldier killed by two crazed fanatics just yards from the Woolwich Barracks was wearing a Help for Heroes top when he was attacked.
The young serviceman was hit by a car and crushed into a road sign on the street in south-east London before he was brutally murdered.
Video footage showed the dead man was wearing a dark blue top with white writing on it - which is believed to be the same as the Help for Heroes hoodie (above).

The killers attacked him with a collection of weapons including meat cleavers and knives before waiting for police to arrive, their hands covered in blood.

Today members of the public were donating to the charity which helps wounded troops with their rehabilitation.
One man called Allan Beattie who donated to the charity wrote:

'In memory of the soldier brutally murdered yesterday - rest in peace - and a thank you to all of our brave service men and women who do so much for us'

Kelly Alexander, who also gave to the charity wrote: 'Last night a black cloud went over our country,it will never be the same again,Rip to this young man brutally slain in his home country.I salute you x'


'This is a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam': Killers who butchered soldiers are condemned by Muslim groups




Tributes: A woman leaves flowers at the scene today following the killing which was condemned by the Muslim Council of Britain


The killers who executed a soldier on a London street were today condemned by Muslim groups for their 'truly barbaric act'.
The Muslim Council of Britain said the killers’ use of 'Islamic slogans' indicated they were motivated by their faith.
A statement from the council said: 'This is a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly. Our thoughts are with the victim and his family.
'We understand the victim is a serving member of the Armed Forces. Muslims have long served in this country’s Armed Forces, proudly and with honour.
'This attack on a member of the Armed Forces is dishonourable, and no cause justifies this murder.'
The group called for vigilance and solidarity between 'all our communities, Muslim and non-Muslim', and for police to 'calm tensions'.

Akbar Khan from Building Bridges said : 'We totally condemn the killing of an innocent person in Woolwich.
'And we also condemn all forms of extremism wherever they are.
'The thoughts of the Muslim community are with the family of the man who lost his life, and we pray for him.'

Mohammed Shafiq from the Ramadhan Foundation said yesterday: 'I wish to condemn the evil and barbaric crime carried out in Woolwich.
'Our immediate thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims. From whatever angle you see the attack, it was at every level evil.
'We must allow the police to gather all the facts before unnecessary speculation and wait for the facts before determining its impact on our country.

'But what happens in the days to come, London and our nation will come together and will not be divided. The terrorists will never win and succeed in their evil plans.'

Julie Siddiqi, of the Islamic Society of Britain, told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme: 'We can’t allow the voices of Nick Griffin and the far right to become louder than ours in the coming days.

'They will say what we have to say and it gives us even more incentive to speak out and come together and not allow people like that to divide us as a country.
'This is one of the most shocking things I have seen in recent years and to have the people of Woolwich have to experience that so close to them, I just feel is absolutely horrific.'

MORE SUSPECTS FROM THE SAME TERRORIST GROUP ARRESTED

Daily Mail UK, 23 May 2013

Man and woman, both 29, arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder following Woolwich terror attack

  • It takes total number of arrests over yesterday's London killing to four
  • Two men who were shot by police, aged 22, and 28, remain in hospital
  • Six residential addresses in London and Lincolnshire searched today
By Daily Mail UK, 23 May 2013

A man and a woman, both 29, were today arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder in relation to the Woolwich terror murder of Drummer Lee Rigby, Scotland Yard said.


Moment anti-terror police raid flat and arrest four people just a mile from scene of Woolwich killing

  • Armed police sealed off the road before raiding the flat at 6am today
  • Four people were seen being led away from the address by police
  • Michael Adebolajo, 28, has been identified as one of the two men suspected of murdering Drummer Lee Rigby, 25
  • It is thought the girlfriend of the second unnamed suspect lives at the Greenwich address which was raided
This is the dramatic moment anti-terror police carried out a dawn raid on a flat just a mile from the scene where a soldier was brutally murdered.
Armed police officers sealed off the street in Greenwich, south-east London, and burst into the flat at around 6am today.
Four people were seen been led away from the address and put into police vans. Neighbours said police quietly carried out the raids and many of them did not realise what was happening.

A total of four people including the two men shot by police have now been arrested in connection with the killing - and the latest two arrested were being questioned at a south London police station.

The two men who were shot, aged 22 and 28, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in hospital in a stable condition with non life-threatening injuries.


Scotland Yard said six residential addresses were searched today as part of the investigation - three in south London, one in east London, one in north London and one in Lincolnshire.


'This is a large, complex and fast-moving investigation which continues to develop,' a spokesman said. 'Many lines of inquiry are being followed by detectives and the investigation is progressing well.'

Officers recovered various items from the scene and were appealing for witnesses to send in footage and photographs of the incident. A post mortem was taking place on Drummer Rigby's body later today.

Sergeant Barry Ward said he was ‘a loving father’ to his two-year-old son Jack, and had ‘a very bubbly character’.

A shocked and tearful neighbour outside the family home in Middleton, Greater Manchester, who did not want to be named, said: ‘He had always wanted to be in the army since he was knee high.’

A steady stream of relatives and friends visited the house throughout the day to support the family. Police and PCSOs also stood guard outside the house and patrolled the street.

Drummer Rigby, who joined the Army in 2006, had served in Helmand province, Afghanistan, where he was a member of the Fire Support Group in Patrol Base Woqab.
A life-long Manchester United fan, he had also stood outside the Royal Palaces as part of his battalion's public duties commitment.

The Rt Rev Mark Davies, The Bishop of Middleton, said: ‘The nation has been shocked by Lee's death. But the greatest burden is carried by those he knew and loved. Our prayers and sympathies are with his family, friends and those he served with.’

Drummer Rigby's murderers were British immigrants but of Nigerian descent.

Pictured: The dramatic moment Woolwich killers are shot by officers after one charged at a police vehicle

  • Two men can be seen brandishing weapons in broad daylight
  • Footage appears to have taken from a nearby block of flats
  • It happened after Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, was killed by two assailants

Dramatic footage has emerged of the moment the two men who hacked to death a soldier in Woolwich were shot as they charged police officers called to the scene.

The two men can be seen brandishing weapons in broad daylight as they confronted officers following the brutal killing of Drummer Lee Rigby.

The footage, obtained by the Daily Mirror UK, shows the two men walking towards parked officers before one splinters off and runs full speed towards a marked car, dropping a bladed weapon.

Just inches before reaching the car, two shots can be heard as one of the men falls to the ground.

Officers then surround the prone body before four more shots ring out felling the second man, as another two shots are fired - eight in total.

Screams can be heard as the men are filmed lying on the ground as the officers swarm around the pair and detain them.

The footage appears to have been taken from a nearby block of flats overlooking the scene after Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, was killed by two assailants.

A total of four people including the two men shot by police have now been arrested in connection with the brutal attack.

Firearms tactics expert former Detective Chief Inspector Peter Kirkham said:

'I have never seen anything like this before, or even heard of it happening before.


Just inches before reaching the car, the man falls to the ground after two shots are heard



Screams can be heard from the crowd who have gathered at the scene following the shots
'For two suspects to carry out a brutal attack like this then stand around in plain sight waiting for the police is crazy.'


He added the officers 'had no option' but to stop them by opening fire.

Scotland Yard said a man and a woman, both 29, were held today on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and are being questioned at a police station in south London.

The two men who were shot, aged 22 and 28, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in hospital in a stable condition with non life-threatening injuries.

In a statement the force said: 'This is a large, complex and fast-moving investigation which continues to develop.



At the end of the clip, police are seen pointing guns at the suspects who lie motionless on the ground



IPCC investigators have viewed CCTV of what happened, and said two officers fired guns and one discharged a Taser.

Pain of the Young Widow Left Behind.....

'He died in the most horrific way possible':
Wife's devastation over her British soldier husband hacked to death by Muslim fanatic




Serving his country on the dusty battlefields of Afghanistan, he risked his life facing Taliban bullets and roadside bombs. Back in Britain after a gruelling deployment in one of the most dangerous places imaginable, Drummer Lee Rigby would have been thankful to have emerged unscathed. But, four years later, on a supposedly safe London high street, the young soldier was brutally cut down in his prime, butchered by crazed Islamic fanatics wielding cleavers and knives.


Lee's pain, before he died, and his young widow's enduring suffering, and her future memories of his murder, were only decreased by the brave 3 women, one a Scout Leader, who stepped in and stopped the murderer from hacking Lee's head off.

Big brave terrorist eh? murdered a soldier who had never killed anyone during his tour in Afghanistan, but was simply was a drummer in his regiments' band

These fanatical extremist Muslims even kill their own Muslim people in their own countries

The Koran does NOT support the actions of these madmen

Update re: NEW TERROR ATTACK Stopped in Paris-Disneyland>Man Arrested Carrying Guns/Koran

IS Group Claims Paris Attacks, says France at 'Top' of List

By AP, 14 November 2015


CAIRO (AP) — The Islamic State group on Saturday claimed responsibility for a wave of attacks in Paris that killed 127 people and said France would remain at the "top of the list" of its targets.

An online statement said eight militants armed with explosive belts and automatic weapons attacked carefully chosen targets in the "capital of adultery and vice," including a soccer stadium where France was playing Germany, and the Bataclan concert hall, where an American rock band was playing, and "hundreds of apostates were attending an adulterous party."

The statement said France and its supporters "will remain at the top of the list of targets of the Islamic State."

"The stench of death will not leave their noses as long as they remain at the forefront of the Crusaders' campaign, dare to curse our prophet, boast of a war on Islam in France, and strike Muslims in the lands of the caliphate with warplanes that were of no use to them in the streets and rotten alleys of Paris," it said.

France is part of the U.S.-led coalition that has been striking the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq for the past year, and has been targeted by jihadists in the past because of its perceived tolerance of speech deemed offensive to Islam.

The claim was made in statements in Arabic and French released online and circulated by supporters of the group. Supporters also circulated an audio version read by an unidentified speaker whose voice strongly resembled that of an announcer for the IS radio station Al-Bayan.

It was not immediately possible to confirm the authenticity of the statements, but they bore the extremists' logo and resembled previous IS statements.
The statements did not provide the nationalities or other information about the attackers.

French President Francois Hollande had earlier blamed the carnage on the Islamic State group and vowed to strike back.

French anti-terror police were working to identify potential accomplices. Authorities said eight attackers died, seven of them in suicide bombings, a new tactic in France. Police said they shot and killed the other assailant.

Jihadists have targeted France on a number of occasions, including in January, when gunmen stormed the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine that had published caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad deemed offensive to Muslims. That attack, which killed 12 people, was claimed by al-Qaida.

'This Attack is Just the Start': Isis Claims Responsibility for Terror Atrocities in Paris that Killed at Least 127 People and Warns There is More to Come

  • Terror group claimed responsibility in statement Saturday morning
  • French president Francois Hollande also blamed Isis for attacks
  • Statement singled out France because of its anti-Isis bombing campaign
  • Said it bombed Stade de France to get at 'imbecile' Hollande and targeted the Batalcan theatre because it was full of 'idolators'

Isis has claimed responsibility for the coordinated terror attacks in Paris which killed at least 127 people, and warned that more will follow.


A statement released by the extremist group said it masterminded the horrifying attacks on the French capital in revenge for 'insulting' the prophet Muhammad.

The terror group singled out France for its involvement in the bombing campaign against Isis territory in Iraq and Syria and said it murdered French citizens because the nation 'bragged' about its military contribution.








Claims: Isis has said it was behind the attacks in Paris. Pictured above are people trying to flee the Bataclan Theatre, where at least 80 hostages were gunned down





Victims: Wounded concertgoers are helped to safety by French special forces. Isis said that it attacked the rock show because the fans were 'idaolators'





Revenge: A statement in French and Arabic said that France is the highest-priority target for Isis because of their military intervention in Iraq and Syria


French president Francois Hollande also said Isis were behind the attacks, which he called 'an act of war'.

The statement, released Saturday morning as horror continued to mount at the slew of killings, said the bombing attack on the Stade de France was aimed specifically at Hollande.
It said an attack at the Bataclan Theatre, during a rock concert, was aimed at 'idolators' who were 'together in a party of perversity' and said the French are Isis's 'principle targets'.

The statement, in French and Arabic, condemned France, saying they 'dared insult our Prophet, having bragged about fighting Islam in France and striking Muslims in the Caliphate with their planes'.

Insult: The statement said Isis responded because they felt France had insulted the honour of Mohammad





Mourning: A mourner pays his respects outside the Le Carillon restaurant, the site of one of the attacks


They said the acts: 'have not helped them in any way in the ill-smelling streets of Paris.
‘This attack is just the start of a storm and a warning for those who wish to draw lessons.’

Explaining its targets, the statement said: 'Eight brothers carrying explosive belts and guns targeted areas in the heart of the French capital that were specifically chosen in advance: the Stade de France during a match against Germany which that imbecile François Hollande was attending; the Bataclan where hundreds of idolaters were together in a party of perversity as well as other targets in the 10th, 11th and 18th arrondissement.
'France and those who follow its path must know that they remain the principle targets of the Islamic State.'

The claim - which resembled other official statements by the militant group - came after Hollande declared the attacks 'an act of war' and promised to respond.





'Act of war': President Francois Hollande also pinned the blame on Isis and vowed to respond to them








Bloodstains: Tributes are left next to blood stains and medical items outside the Bataclan concert hall


He also pinned the blame on Isis, using the alternative name Daesh.
Hollande said: 'Faced with war, the country must take appropriate action'.
He called the attacks: 'an act of war committed by Daesh that was prepared, organised and planned from outside (of France)'.

Other world leaders pledged their support to France, and said the attack on Paris was an attack on them as well.

President Barack Obama said: 'Once again we've seen an outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians.
'This is an attack not just on Paris, it's an attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share.'

Prime Minister David Cameron said: 'My message to the French people: Nous sommes solidaires avec vous. Nous sommes tous ensemble. We are with you. United.'



Quote:
'LET FRANCE KNOW THEY ARE AT THE TOP OF THE TARGET LIST: ISIS STATEMENT IN FULL

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent.

Allah said: They thought that their fortresses would protect them from Allah, but Allah came upon them from where they had no expected, and He cast terror into their hearts so they destroyed their houses by their own hands and the hands of the believers. So take warning, O people of vision.

In a blessed battle whose causes of success were enabled by Allah, a group of believers from the soldiers of the Caliphate (may Allah strengthen and support it) set out targeting the capital of prostitution and vice, the lead carrier of the cross in Europe - Paris.

This group of believers were youth who divorced the worldly life and advanced towards their enemy hoping to be killed for Allah's sake, doing so in support of His religion, His Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) and His allies. They did so in spite of His enemies.

Thus, they were truthful with Allah - we consider them so - and Allah granted victory upon their hands and cast terror into the hearts of the crusaders in their very own homeland.

And so eight brothers equipped with explosive belts and assault rifles attacked precisely chosen targets in the centre of the capital of France. These targets included the Stade de France stadium during a soccer match - between the teams of Germany and France, both of which are crusader nations - attended by the imbecile of France (Francois Hollande).

The targets included the Bataclan theatre for exhibitions, where hundreds of pagans gathered for a concert of prostitution and vice. There were also simultaneous attacks in the tenth, eleventh and eighteenth districts, and elsewhere.

Paris was thereby shaken beneath the crusaders' feet, who were constricted by its streets. The result of the attacks was the deaths of no less than two hundred crusaders and the wounding of even more. All praise, grace and favour belong to Allah.

Allah blessed our brothers and granted them what they desired. They detonated their explosive belts in the masses of the disbelievers after finishing all their ammunition. We ask Allah to accept them amongst the martyrs and to allow us to follow them.

Let France and all nations following its path know that they will continue to be at the top of the target list for the Islamic State and that the scent of death will not leave their nostrils as long as they partake in the crusader campaign, as long as they dare to curse our Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him), and as long as they boast about their war against Islam in France and their strikes against Muslims in the lands of the Caliphate with their jets, which were of no avail to them in the filthy streets and alleys of Paris. Indeed, this is just the beginning. It is also a warning for any who wish to take heed.

Allah is the greatest.

Default re: NEW TERROR ATTACK Stopped in Paris-Disneyland>Man Arrested Carrying Guns/Koran

Is This the ISIS Killer Stalking the Bataclan Venue Before his Murderous Rampage Begins? Video Shows Mysterious Figure Clad in Black Moments Before the Massacre

  • Terrorists took over Bataclan concert hall in Paris on Friday night
  • Seven terrorists blew themselves up when police raided the theatre
  • At least 127 are reported dead in attacks throughout the French capital
  • Locations outside stadium and popular restaurant among targeted sites
  • French President Hollande has vowed to 'mercilessly strike back'
AP, 14 November 2015


One of the four gunmen who went on a murderous rampage through a Paris theatre may have been caught on camera moments before they opened fire, killing more than 80 innocent people.

The footage, captured by Tuesday Cross, girlfriend of Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes, shows a figure dressed head to toe in black with a backpack, making their way through the corridors of the Bataclan concert hall.

Moments later, gunmen shouting 'Allahu Akbar' - God is great in Arabic - began indiscriminately killing those who had crammed into the venue to see the band perform.





This figure is thought to be one of the gunmen, filmed in a corridor of the Batalcan theatre shortly before he began killing concert-goers





The gunmen burst into the concert hall moments later, shouting 'Allahu Akbar', 'God is great'. Pictured: A victim under a blanket outside the theatre after the massacre





A victim is wheeled away from the concert hall. The death toll currently stands at 82, with many more wounded





People arrived to place flowers this morning, while in other parts of the city they donated blood



The gunmen - who were recorded speaking perfect French, first shot at people standing by the bar, before turning their guns to the terrified crowd, according to survivors of the massacre.

'They didn't stop firing. There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere. Everyone was trying to flee,' said Pierre Janaszak, a radio presenter who was at the concert.
'I clearly heard them say 'It's the fault of Hollande, it's the fault of your president, he should not have intervened in Syria'.'

ISIS has now claimed responsibility, saying 'eight brothers wearing explosive belts and carrying assault rifles' conducted a 'blessed attack on... Crusader France'.

Footage has emerged capturing the moment dozens fled through a back exit, while a handful of desperate concert-goers left a trail of blood along a street as they dragged their injured friends to safety.

It shows how one woman clung desperately to the window ledge of the second floor as she tried to hide from the terrorists.

Meanwhile, bodies lie by the entrance – all apparently dead, before one moves and attempts to stand. Bleeding heavily, and unable to lift themselves, the camera captures the moment they try to use their phone – possibly to call for help.
The video was taken by journalist Daniel Psenny from his flat in a building opposite. He was later injured himself, shot in the arm.













Writing in the newspaper today, he revealed he had gone down to open his door, so people could hide.

'There was a man lying on the sidewalk,' he wrote. 'With another man I have not seen later he was fired at as he tried to shelter in the lobby. That's when I think I was shot but I have a blank at that time.
'But I remember I felt like a firecracker exploding in my left arm, and I saw that it was pissing blood.'

Benedict Werner, who was on the balcony, has described the moment he came face-to-face with the killer, who was just five metres away.

'It was surreal,' Werner told AFP.
'We came face to face but he didn't shoot. What did he look like? An ordinary guy with a kalashnikov.
'We ended up crawling between the seats.'

Friends Gregoire, Thomas and Nicolas saidd the killers arrived half an hour into the concert.
'They shot everyone who was at the bar,' the friends said.
'Then we saw a movement in the pit. It was like a gust of wind in the wheat. Everyone fell, dead, wounded and alive. Even if you have no experience of war, we immediately understood what was happening.'

The friends escaped onto the roof, where they were held for two hours 'trapped like rats' while the shooting continued below. Others hid in the roof.
Still inside, Benjamin Cazenoves took to social media.
'There are survivors inside. They are cutting down all the world. One by one,' he wrote.

He added in another post: 'Alive. Just cuts... Carnage... Dead bodies everywhere.'

The carnage came to an end when three of the terrorists inside the theatre later detonated their suicide belts as French authorities raided the building to free hostages.


Four policemen died in the raid, and were able to shoot a fourth terrorist before he activated his explosive.


It was part of a coordinated attack on several targets across Paris, with official figures now say 127 killed and 99 in a critical condition.

Currently 82 people are said to have died at the theatre - whichwas previously a target for extremists because of its Jewish owners.

French officials confirmed that in addition to the four terrorists that died at the theatre, three had died near the stadium and one on the same street as the concert hall.

Paris prosecutors said seven of the eight died in suicide bombings, and added that authorities are looking for accomplices to the bombers and those who shot at restaurants in the city.
French President Francois Hollande described the attacks this morning an 'act of war' orchestrated by the Islamic State group.

This morning, as bodies were removed from the building and investigations began, people began to gather to pay their respects to the dead.
A man played John Lennon's Imagine on a portable piano in the street outside the concert hall, as Parisians laid flowers in rememberance.

Local residents described the horror of seeing bodies on their doorstep. A jogger who lives on the same street as the Bataclan said:

'I was having dinner with friends and we heard gunshots , then explosions.
'There were rounds of gunfire every 20minutes for three hours. When we left it was like a hospital in the street, there were people injured and bodies everywhere.'

Camille Barcouda, a student who lives opposite the concert hall, said: 'People were coming out traumatized, covered in blood.
'They were shocked, crying. Many were bleeding. It was like an action film, but it's not a film, it's real life.'

Around 125 hostages are thought to have been freed during the raid and one hostage who escaped the theatre said the hostage-takers burst into the concert hall and were yelling about Syria.

Another said the gunmen referenced French President François Hollande, who has joined the Western coalition bombing Islamic State in the Middle East.

Witnesses described unmasked men in their early 20s with Kalashnikov assault rifles entering into the middle of the concert of the California rock band The Eagles of Death Metal and spraying bullets after 9pm.
The onslaught lasted for maybe ten minutes as people screamed and cowered on the floor, covering their heads in a vain bid to escape the bullets, a witness told the Daily Mail.

''I was in the pit at the front. I heard bangs go off. I turned round and I saw a silhouette with a cap on who was heading towards the back door,' one witness said
'He shot in my direction. People started falling and throwing themselves towards the ground'.





The American rock band Eagles of Death Metal had been playing when men armed with Kalashnikovs are said to have stormed into the hall and began firing Above, a photo from the Bataclan before the attack


Marc Coupris said that the gunmen shot from the balcony and that 'It looked like a battlefield, there was blood everywhere, there were bodies everywhere'.
Others described hiding in rooms by the stage before making a break for the emergency exit left of the stage, while others said they escaped to the roof and were helped by a man in an apartment adjacent to the theatre.

A post on the Eagle of Death Metal's Facebook page said that the safety of the group was still being determined, though later reports said that all members were safe.

The Bataclan theatre had previously supported the magazine Charlie Hebdo, which previously had offices nearby, after the satirical publication was attacked in January this year.
A photo of the hall shows the marquee with the phrase 'Je Suis Charlie', used in support of the attack's victims.

President Hollande visited the scene of the theatre attack later in the night and said, 'To all those who have seen these awful things, I want to say we are going to lead a war which will be pitiless'.

The president declared a state of emergency and 1,500 soldiers were deployed to Paris after the string of violence. French borders were closed to prevent suspects' escape.





Victims were given life emergency blankets as they were evacuated from the area near the concert hall by bus

AMERICANS FEARED DEAD IN BATACLAN THEATRE ATTACK

By Ryan Parry West Coast Correspondent for DailyMail.com

Americans are feared dead in the Paris terror attack after it emerged several crew members for California rock band Eagles of Death Metal are unaccounted for.

Around 100 people were massacred at the Bataclan concert hall, where the band had been performing, after terrorists stormed the venue and took hostages.

Police raided the theatre at around midnight, killing the three terrorists inside and freed the remaining hostages.

But a spokesperson for Eagles of Death Metal told Daily Mail Online: 'We are still currently trying to determine the safety and whereabouts of all our band and crew. Our thoughts are with all of the people involved in this tragic situation.'

Earlier family members of EDOM said all band members had got out in time, but there was a question mark over the crew.

The wife of drummer Julian Dorio told The Washington Post that Julian had called her to say everyone was safe.
'He called to say that he loved me and he was safe,' wife Emily said.
'Everyone on stage was able to get off.'

Dorio's mother Mary Lou confirmed that the fates of several crew members was still unclear.
Julian was at a local police station, she said at around 6 p.m.

French group Red Lemons posted to Facebook that the members of Eagles of Death Metal were safe.
They wrote: 'For our american and english friends, a terrorist attack happened at the Eagles of death metal concert. We are safe. Mikel Ross, Eric McFadden we were with your mates Jesse, Tuesday, the other musicians outside, they're safe too, they took a cab.'

Also a friend of opening band White Miles posted on that group's Facebook page that the group are okay.
'Just heard from the band and they're safe,' wrote Ben Gazey.

It's believed Eagles of Death Metal were onstage when attackers burst into the venue and opened fire on the audience. Witnesses said that someone shouted 'Allahu Akbar, God is greatest,' as the shooting occurred.

More than 100 people were counted dead at the central Paris venue, which holds about 1,500 people and was sold out.
Many others were reported wounded.

It's believed dozens of American fans will have been at the gig to follow the popular rock band, originally from Palm Desert, California.
Michael Dorio, brother of EODM drummer Julian told Daily Mail Online he had an 'emotional' conversation with his sibling minutes after the attack.

The 37-year-old said: 'Julian is ok. He and the rest of the band are safe - they manage to escape out of the back of the theater so luckily they are okay.
'He was shaken up but his primary concern now is for the rest of the people still in there.
'He's with the band but some of the crew are still unaccounted for.

'He didn't have his cell phone on him because that was with all of his stuff inside the theater.
'They all headed to a police station and he borrowed someone else's phone and called me - luckily he had memorized my number.
'He didn't really have a chance to go into detail about what happened.

'It was emotional but it was a brief conversation and he had to get down to business quickly because he wanted me to let everybody else know - family members, friends - that he was okay.
'So we didn't have a lot of time to talk emotionally.'

Michael said he was relieved his brother was safe and his thoughts and prayers were now with the victims of the attack.

David Hughes, the brother of band frontman Jesse Hughes, wrote on Facebook that Jesse is 'ok'.
'I spoke to him about an hour ago. The band is ok too. I hold out hope that as many people as possible make it out ok, as well. As the situation is still developing, I can not say much else.'

Hughes' mother Jo Ellen wrote on her Facebook page: 'Update just got word the rest of the band is ok. .. plz keep praying for those still being held and pray for the police.'

Minutes before the gig bassist Matt McJunkins posted a photo of the show just before the band was to go on.
He wrote: 'Parisians, see you in a few!'

Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band - the name is an inside joke.
Last month the group released their fourth album, Zipper Down, and were in the middle of a European tour.

Update re: NEW TERROR ATTACK Stopped in Paris-Disneyland>Man Arrested Carrying Guns/Koran

French Police are Chasing 'Four Heavily Armed People' in a Citroen That Forced its Way Through a Motorway Toll Road Heading for Paris

  • Police currently in pursuit of Citroen containing 'four heavily armed men'
  • Car reportedly stormed through motorway toll road and is heading to Paris
  • The country remains on high alert after a string of terror attacks last night
  • At least 127 people were killed when gunmen and suicide bombers hit city
Daily Mail UK, 14 November 2015




French police are said to be in pursuit of a Citroën Berlingo containing 'four heavily armed people' heading to Paris after it forced its way through a toll in the Ablis area of Yvelines in France.

The town is approximately 40 miles from the centre of Paris and the incident comes as police remain on high alert following a string of deadly terror attacks across the French capital last night.

Police have also confirmed they are currently hunting a black Seat vehicle, registered abroad, which is 'wanted in connection with the attacks'. Pictured: Snipers (left) and armed officers (right) could be seen on patrol in the French capital today as the city mourns the loss (inset) of at least 127 people killed in last night's terror attacks.

The vehicle is described by French police has having a number plate of GUT 18053 and five-spoke alloy wheels.

Earlier today it was reported that armed officers and a police helicopter were scrambled to the Bagnolet area of Paris following reports of gunfire and explosions.


Residents were reportedly told to stay indoors but local authorities later confirmed the 'explosions' were the result of fireworks being let off at a wedding celebration.

France remains on high alert after a string of barbaric terror attacks were carried out across the French capital, leaving at least 127 people dead.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the wave of terror attacks, which saw gunman Kalashnikov-wielding fanatics storm four restaurants and a packed concert in the city centre and two suicide bombers blow themselves up outside the State de France sports stadium.

At least eight suspected terrorists were said to be killed during the sickening acts, with seven of the gunmen killing themselves.
Paris prosecutors said the authorities are still looking for any accomplices.

France went into lockdown overnight and French President Francis Hollande closed the borders.
Following the attacks, the French President declared a state of emergency and said: 'To all those who have seen these awful things, I want to say we are going to lead a war which will be pitiless'.

He also ordered that 1,500 soldiers be deployed to Paris after the string of violence and that French borders are closed to prevent suspects' escape.

Much of Europe remains on high alert following the horrific terror attacks, and Gatwick Airport in London was evacuated this morning following reports of a man with a 'grenade'.

Holidaymakers and staff were ushered out of the airport from 9.30am and the bomb squad called in following the discovery of a 'suspicious package'.

Paris Suicide Bomber with a Syrian Passport Came to Europe Through Greece in October as it Emerges Another of the Isis Killers was Just 15.
Police Raided Homes & Have Arrested 'a Number' of People in Brussels and Germany

  • A second passport, from Egypt, was found on the body of another bomber
  • One of the three attackers at the stadium is thought to have been just 15
  • A 'number of arrests' linked to the attacks have been made in Belgium & Germany
Daily Mail UK, 14 November 2015


A Paris suicide bomber who was carrying a Syrian passport passed through Greece as a refugee in October, according to a Greek minister.


The passport was retrieved from one of the suicide bombers who blew himself up outside the Stade de France stadium as part of last night's coordinated attacks, which killed at least 127 people.

The passport holder, who is understood to be 25, passed through the island of Leros of October 3 as a refugee, where he was identified ‘according to EU rules’.

But Greece’s deputy minister in charge of police, Nikos Toscas, did not know if the passport was checked by other countries through which the holder possibly passed on his way to France.





A Syrian passport has been found on the body of one of the suicide bombers who blew himself up outside the Stade de France stadium in Paris last night


A Greek police source said French authorities had asked other countries in Europe, including Greece, to check on the passport.


However it has not yet been confirmed whether the Syrian passport actually belonged to the bomber, or whether it was authentic
.......or one of the many forged passports flooding into Europe with the refugee crisis.



The French police reportedly asked the Greek authorities today to check the records of 10 people suspected of being linked to the attacks, according to the French newspaper Liberation.

Another of the terrorists involved in last night's attacks in Paris has been officially identified as a Parisian, according to local media reports.
The man, who was killed at the Bataclan, was identified using his fingerprints and was from the neighbourhood of Courcouronnes, about 20miles south of Paris.

French reports say that the man, who was around 30 years old, was already known to French anti-terrorist authorities prior to last night's attacks.






Two suicide blasts and a bomb exploded outside the stadium last night, killing six people, as part of a series of coordinated attacks across the capital which left at least 127 dead

A
n Egyptian passport has also been reportedly recovered from one of the three men who attacked the stadium.

One of the three attackers who died at the stadium is believed to have been as young as 15 years old.

Three of the eight terrorists have now been identified: the two men with the Syrian and Egyptian passports outside the stadium, and the known French extremist killed at the Bataclan.


Meanwhile, Belgium police have arrested 'a number' of people in Brussels believed to be connected to the Paris attacks.

Police launched raids in the Molenbeek district of the Belgian capital, after a car with Belgian licence plates was spotted outside the Bataclan last night.

Up to three raids were carried out in the Molenbeek district, where three of the suspects are believed to be from.


Mehdi Nemmouche, the mastermind behind the May 2014 attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels, during which four people were killed, also lived in Molenbeek on his return from Syria.
It’s also reported by Le Parisien newspaper that the killers came in a car registered in Belgium.





Belgian police launched up to to three raids in the Molenbeek district of Brussels, in Belgium, where three of the suspects are believed to be from, with 'a number' of arrests made





A second attacker at the stadium is believed to have been as young as 15. Supporters of both France and Germany were held in the stadium until they could be safely evacuated


The French newspaper reported that one of the terrorists who carried out the attack at the Bataclan Theatre has been identified as a known French extremist.

According to French daily El Figaro, investigators have recordings of two of the terrorists at the Bataclan communicating in French.

Others told of how AK47 wielding terrorists shouted 'Allah Akbar' as they 'blindly' opened fire into a crowd of people.

Others reported terrorists shouting 'This is for Syria'.

All eight terrorists died during the attacks, with seven killing themselves in suicide blasts and the last being shot by police.

Four of the attackers died at the Bataclan Theatre, three died at the Stade de France football stadium and the last on the Voltaire Boulevard.

All the remains of the terrorists are being forensically examined at the Forensic Medicine Institute and investigators hope that DNA traces or useable fingerprints will tie in to those in known offenders files.

In August, a French radical arrested on his return from Raqqa, Syria, claimed that he had been instructed to target a concert hall.

Former head of internal security, Claude Chouet, said that police are also hunting for an explosives specialist who would have primed and fitted the suicide vests, but would have been far away from the actual explosions.


It has been reported that one of the suicide bombers at the Stade de France had a ticket for the football match, but was turned away by security when they discovered his suicide vest.

It is believed that he detonated his vest when it was discovered, according to a guard who was stationed by the players' tunnel.


Around two minutes later, a second suicide blast went off outside the stadium. Shortly afterwards, a third attacker detonated explosives at a nearby McDonald's.

ISIS released a statement today, claiming responsibility for the attacks;


Quote:
‘A group of believers from the soldiers of the Caliphate (may Allah strengthen and support it) set out targeting the capital of prostitution and vice…Paris,’ said the group in a statement.

‘Paris was thereby shaken beneath the crusaders’ feet, who were constricted by its streets.

‘Let France and all nations following its path know that they will continue to be at the top of the target list for the Islamic State and that the scent of death will not leave their nostrils as long as they partake in the crusader campaign.
‘Indeed, this is just the beginning.’




Police sources reported that the terrorists appeared to be ‘seasoned’ and ‘well-trained’.
The question of their training in a jihadi-controlled area, including Syria, has been raised as part of the investigation.


Meanwhile, according to France’s BFMTV, a Volkswagen Polo has been found near to the Bataclan that is believed to match witness descriptions of the car used by attackers.

A witness present at the Bataclan Theatre told Reuters that none of the other attackers were over 25, and all had brown hair.
‘The one I saw wore a black tracksuit with white stripes,’ they added. ‘He was pretty quiet, which surprised me.
‘At one point I turned around and we didn’t know what was going on, but then I saw he was shooting at someone and I understood.’

Another witness who was in the road front of the concert hall before the attack and saw at least one of the assassins told BMFTV that he wasn't hooded: 'I saw a guy, quite small, white, European looking. He was in front of the Bataclan. He had his gun to his shoulder and I saw the flashes and then I heard "Bam.Bam.Bam".'

Local residents suspect that the terrorists came from within the community, and are very suspicious of the mosque.

'They targeted the most popular cafes with young people, and they knew the local area in detail, even the one way system,' said Natalie Augier, a historian and terrorism expert who lives nearby.
'They had kids on the corners with mobile phones to warn them if the police were coming. They had so much local knowledge, and they just melted away afterwards.





The distressing scenes in the French capital have sent shockwaves across social media, with a number of campaigns launched to help people who were unable to get safely home


'They knew this was a soft target with not many police and they carefully chose their moment, their target and their method.

'There are serious problems with integration here. We now have the same problems as they have in the Middle East. We are paying for our stupidity.'

French President Francois Hollande said ISIS group orchestrated the attacks, and ISIS has claimed responsibility.

It is not yet known whether the perpetrators of the attacks were known to the French anti-terrorist services and how the attacks were coordinated.

A coordinated attack of this magnitude was one of Europe’s greatest fears following the rise of ISIS.
More than 500 French fighters are thought to be with ISIS in Syria and Iraq according to official figures, while 250 have returned and some 750 more expressed a desire to go.

France was placed in lockdown after at least eight militants, all wearing suicide vests, brought unprecedented violence to the streets of the French capital in the bloodiest attack in Europe since the Madrid train bombings in 2004.

Francois Hollande accused ISIS of orchestrating the worst attacks in France for more than 70 years, declaring it an 'act of war' and vowing to 'mercilessly' strike back.
In a televised address, the French President said the attacks were 'committed by a terrorist army, the Islamic State group, a jihadist army, against France, against the values that we defend everywhere in the world, against what we are: a free country that means something to the whole planet'.

Police are also hunting accomplices amid fears of further attacks, with the arrest of a 51-year-old man in Germany last week after firearms were discovered in his car now being linked to the atrocities, according to media reports.

Update re: PhOtOs-Russia Offers $50 Mill Reward for Terrorists Who BOMBED Jet

Sinai Plane Crash WAS an Act of Terror, says Putin as He Vows to Hunt Down Bombers, who Downed Jet, 'in Any Part of Planet'

  • The FSB intelligence agency said a home made bomb destroyed the jet
  • Prime Minister David Cameron shared vital intelligence with Vladimir Putin
  • The Airbus A321 was destroyed last month killing all 224 people on board
  • Putin is seeking to work with western governments to defeat ISIS threat
Daily Mail UK, 17 November 2015


Vladimir Putin has vowed to 'punish' those responsible for bringing down a Russian jet over the Sinai desert last month, after he confirmed that a bomb was responsible for the crash.


The Russian president claimed that the jet was blown up by a home-made bomb containing 1.5kg of explosives, resulting in the loss of 224 lives.
Shortly after Mr Putin's announcement, Egyptian authorities arrested two airport employees accused of helping ISIS to smuggle the device onto the aircraft.

A $50 million reward has been offered for information leading to the capture of the terror cell responsible for the atrocity.






Russian state security services have admitted that a bomb brought down a Metrojet aircraft over Egypt





Russian technical experts said that the aircraft was destroyed by a homemade 1.5kg bomb





Russian President Vladimir Putin, pictured this morning at a special briefing in Moscow will fly back to Turkey to hold talks with Prime Minister David Cameron at the G20 meeting about the terror attack on the doomed jet





Marking their respects: President Putin observes a minute's silence with Russia's FSB had Alexander Bortnikov, third right, Sergey Lavrov, the foreign minister, second right, and others before a meeting on the plane crash


An Egyptian spokesman said: 'Seventeen people are being held, two of them are suspected of helping whoever planted the bomb on the plane at Sharm al-Sheikh airport.'

The Airbus A321 disappeared 23 minutes after leaving Sharm el-Sheikh airport en-route to St Petersburg.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack on the Metrojet aircraft which crashed on October 31.

Alexander Bortnikov, head of the FSB security agency told Russian President Vladimir Putin:

'One can say unambiguously that it was a terror act.
'An improvised bomb with a capacity of up to 1.5 kg of TNT exploded on the fight.
'As a result, the aircraft was torn apart in the air, which explains the large distance over which the pieces of the fuselage of the aircraft have scattered.'

President Putin has vowed to avenge the perpetrators: 'It's not the first time Russia faces barbaric terrorist crimes.'

His country would 'never forget' such attacks.

'Killing our people at Sinai is among the most bloody crimes judging by the number of victims.
'And we won't wipe our tears away from our hearts and souls. It will remain with us forever.
'But it won't stop us from finding and punishing the criminals.'

He vowed: 'We must do it without time limitation.
'We must know each name. We will search for them everywhere, wherever they will hide. We will find them in any part of planet and punish them.'
'There is no statute of limitation on this.'

He added: 'The combat work of our aviation in Syria must not only be continued. It must be intensified so that the criminals understand that vengeance is inevitable.'





Prime Minister David Cameron will hold talks later today with Vladimir Putin, right, about the bomb attack



Quote:
THOSE RESPONSIBLE 'SHOULD BE STRAPPED TO DRONES AND DROPPED ON ISIS FRONTLINE'



Ramzan Kadyrov



Terrorists behind the downing of the Russian tourist jet should be strapped to drones and dropped from the air on the ISIS frontline, demanded a top Vladimir Putin lieutenant on Tuesday.

Chechen strongman leader Ramzan Kadyrov - a Muslim - called for 'violent punishment' for all those responsible for blowing the Airbus A321 out of the sky last month.

They should be killed by being dropped like human bombs on the heads of fellow jihadists, he claimed.
'People should know when, where and in what circumstances each and every one of them is destroyed,' he said.

'I suggest hanging the detained to the unmanned flying devices attacking ISIS positions, and dropping them on the heads of their peers.
'No court hearings needed.'


As a result, Putin has ordered an increase in the intensity of airstrikes against ISIS targets in Syria. This comes as France launched a second night of raids against terror locations in Raqqa in response to the Paris massacre. It was later reported that airstrikes had increased in Syria, with Russia using both sea-launched cruise missiles and long range bombers.

British intelligence agents passed their Russian counterparts details of the possible bomb plot.
The passing of intelligence between London and Moscow marked an improvement in relations between the West and Vladimir Putin who was welcomed to the G20 Summit in Turkey.

Speaking at the conference, he told reporters that an international anti-terror coalition was needed to wipe out ISIS: 'I spoke about this at the United Nations... and the tragic events that followed have confirmed that we were right.'

He also ordered the Russian navy to make contact their their French counterparts.

Putin told his admirals: 'It's necessary to establish direct contact with the French and work with them as allies.'

President Hollande has ordered the deployment of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to the eastern Mediterranean to offer French jets a third base to attack ISIS.


Already, French bombers are flying out of Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

Prime Minister David Cameron will hold talks today with President Putin about the Metrojet tragedy.

The move is part of a co-ordinated diplomatic push by Western nations, which yesterday saw Barack Obama hold unscheduled talks with Mr Putin at the summit about the Syrian crisis.

Western leaders believe Russia’s intervention in Syria on the side of tyrant Bashar-al-Assad has proved counterproductive by damaging moderate forces in the country who are vital to any lasting peace deal.

Speaking last night, Mr Cameron said: ‘We have our differences with the Russians, not least because they’ve done so much to degrade the non-IS opposition to Assad, people who could be part of the future of Syria.
‘But the conversation I want to have with Vladimir Putin is to say look, there is one thing we agree about, which is we’d be safer in Russia, we’d be safer in Britain if we destroy IS. That’s what we should be focusing on.’





The attacks on Paris and need to confront ISIS has brought a thawing in relations between President Putin, right, and western governments which imposed sanctions on Russia over the civil war in Ukraine





Russia has sent the guided missile cruiser Moskva, pictured, to the Mediterranean to attack ISIS targets





The Russian MoD released this footage taken from a Su-24M on a bombing missing above Syria


Mr Cameron has previously angered the Russian president by suggesting he has the ‘blood of Syrian children’ on his hands because of his support for Assad.

But Downing Street last night signalled that the Prime Minister would now tone down the rhetoric.

‘This is about getting a hard-headed agreement on issues that matter to us,’ a source said. ‘The Prime Minister will approach this in a way that tries to make some progress with Putin.’

No 10 also confirmed that today’s talks are part of a wider Western push to persuade Mr Putin to soften his support for Assad and join the fight against ISIS.

European Council president Donald Tusk warned there were already signs that Russia’s intervention last month was creating a ‘new wave of refugees’.
Mr Tusk said Russian action ‘must be focused more on Islamic State and not, because we cannot accept it, against the moderate Syrian opposition’.

The White House yesterday said President Obama and Mr Putin had agreed to ask the United Nations to broker peace talks in Syria during a ‘constructive’ 35-minute meeting on the fringes of the G20 Summit.

In a further sign of a potential breakthrough, Mr Putin earlier said: ‘It would seem obvious that IS and other similar extremist groups operating in Syria represent a clear common threat to our countries.’

Later today, Mr Cameron and President Obama will join German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French foreign minister Laurent Fabius and Italian PM Matteo Renzi for further talks on stepping up action against IS.

Washington yesterday signalled that it expects the US and France to increase military action against IS in the wake of the Paris outrage.

US Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said: ‘We’re confident that in the coming days and weeks, working with the French, we will be able intensify our strikes against IS in both Syria and Iraq to make clear there is no safe haven for these terrorists.’

Mr Cameron last night reiterated his continuing support for British air strikes against IS in Syria, saying: ‘It’s become even more clear that our safety and security depends on degrading and ultimately destroying IS whether it’s in Iraq or Syria.

‘We’re playing a huge role in that already in Iraq. Others are taking action in Syria which we both support and enable, but we’ve got to keep on making the case that we will be safer in the UK, in France, right across Europe if we destroy this death cult once and for all.’

But Downing Street said Mr Cameron remained committed to holding a Commons vote before extending British military action to Syria. A source urged MPs opposed to the idea to ‘reflect’ on their position.





Consumer watchdogs today warned that the government should provide guidance and help to holiday makers who have booked to Sharm el-Sheikh, whose tourism industry has been devastated by the attack



Frank Brehany, Consumer Director of HolidayTravelWatch called on the government to help tourists who have booked holidays in Egypt following the bomb announcement.

He said: 'This news, coming so swiftly after the carnage in Paris underlines the perilous state of affairs in Egypt.
'Whilst my heart reaches out to the good and decent people of Egypt, my focus today must rest with the holidaymakers who have already booked to visit Egypt.

'Travel companies and the UK government must now stop this rush to normalise the travel trade between our two countries and seek to resolve the issues that prevail within that region. Holiday companies must not use the term "normal booking conditions apply", when it is clear that this situation is anything but normal.

'I call upon the government to reflect very carefully upon its travel advisories and for the travel industry to acquire a commercial maturity and help ordinary people through this difficult situation.'

Update re: NEW TERROR ATTACK Stopped in Paris-Disneyland>Man Arrested Carrying Guns/Koran

Hero Police Dog Blown Up by Suicide Bomber During Terrorists' Last Stand:
French Police Honour Diesel the Belgian Shepherd who 'Died to Defend our Colours'

+ At Least Five Police Were Injured in the Ferocious Gunfight
  • Anti-terror dog died during a massive firefight with suspected Paris jihadis
  • Witness said she was blown to pieces when woman detonated suicide vest
  • As tributes poured in, one handler said: 'It's like losing one our colleagues'
Daily Mail UK, 18 November 2015


A anti-terror police dog has died after being blown up by a female suicide bomber during a firefight with suspected ISIS militants behind the Paris massacre.

The seven-year-old Belgian Shepherd named Diesel was killed during a raid by up to 100 police and soldiers on a flat in the French capital this morning.

A witness said Diesel, who is trained to sniff out explosives, was blown to pieces when a jihadi bride came out firing her AK-47 at police before detonating her suicide vest.


Tributes quickly poured in to the respected canine, with one police handler saying: 'It's a little like losing one our colleagues.'
One Twitter user said Diesel had 'died o defend out colours'.





A police dog has died after a female terrorist blew herself up during a firefight with suspected Paris terrorists including the mastermind behind Friday's massacres in northern Paris.

French police posted this picture while paying tribute to Diesel but it was not clear if the image shows the Belgian Shepherd

The official profile for Police Nationale tweeted that Diesel 'was killed by terrorists in the current operation in Saint-Denis'.
The force said that 'assault and explosives' search dogs are indispensable to the work of the French anti-terror unit known as RAID.

More than 100 police and soldiers were involved in a gunfight with up to six suspected Paris terrorists holed up in the flat including the mastermind behind the atrocities.

The stand-off ended as a bloodied and half-naked suspect was dragged out of an apartment block through broken glass in Saint-Denis - close to the Stade de France.





In their sights: Police move in on the apartment where the female suicide bomber blew herself up after firing an AK-47 machine at officers. At least one other jihadi is also dead since the stand-off started at dawn








Rush: Police with pistols drawn rush towards the apartment block while soldiers with machine guns peer around the corner close to the siege



The gunfight started at 4.30am when SWAT teams and special forces surrounded the building believing the architect of the massacres that killed 129 people, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, was inside. It is not known if he is dead or alive.

A woman 'with long blonde hair' who may be Abaaoud's jihadi bride is said to have fired her AK-47 at police before blowing herself up as an assault squad first stormed the apartment block.


Survivors of the Bataclan massacre where 89 people died insisted there was a female shooter.
Lotfi, a 50-year-old who was in the area, said:

'I heard police officers talking to a woman with long blonde hair.
'I think she was the kamikaze. They told her not to lower her arms, to keep her hands up in the air, and then there was a massive explosion.
I think that's when she detonated her bomb. It really was a very loud explosion.'

'Lots of windows on the street were shattered, and then the firefight started and it was going on nonstop.'





Mystery suspect: Hooded police officers pull a man arrested in the siege through crowds of other officers and soldiers during the Saint-Denis siege





Drama: A terror suspect is dragged from the building with no trousers - presumably in case he was wearing a suicide belt - as police continue to train their weapons on the flat


Lofti, who would not offer his surname, said he saw Diesel blown to pieces.

As the suicide bomber attacked police, a rooftop sniper shot dead another terror suspect through a window.

Police said that five people in the apartment were taken alive and arrested while two others were held 'nearby'.

At least five police were injured in the ferocious gunfight including one shot in the foot seen being carried from the scene.

Security had been watching several flats in Saint-Denis since yesterday and also tapped phones before they swooped this morning believing Abaaoud and other terrorists were inside.

Update re: VIDEOs/PhOTOs--FRANCE & RUSSIA Pulverize ISIS

France Turns The Screw: Dramatic Footage Shows Joint Airstrikes with Russia Targeting Raqqa Training Centres, Checkpoints and Weapons Depots as Bombs Kill 33+ ISIS Militants in Three Days

  • Dramatic footage emerges of French bombers launching a series of raids on ISIS command units in Raqqa, Syria
  • There are reports that at least 33 ISIS terrorists have been killed during a 72-hour campaign of air strikes on the city
  • Russia yesterday launched cruise missile strikes over Raqqa, which is seen as the ISIS capital city in Syria
  • Russian president Vladimir Putin has ordered his warships to work with France as 'allies' in their fight
  • Their forces carried out 34 cruise missile strikes over Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo just days after the Paris terror attacks
  • Russia are also reportedly transporting paramilitary forces across Syria to fight ISIS in the Christian town of Sadad
Daily Mail UK, 18 November 2015


French and Russian air strikes in Syria have killed at least 33 ISIS terrorists in three-days of air strikes over northern Syria, it has emerged.

Dozens more jihadists have been wounded in the raids which targeted weapons depots, barracks and checkpoints in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa.
Dramatic new footage of the French airstrikes shows rockets slamming into buildings below during a 72-hour bombing campaign.

France intensified strikes on Raqqa following last week's attacks in Paris that left 129 dead, with warplanes carrying out dozens of attacks on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Russia also pounded Raqqa with long-range bombers and sea-launched missiles on Tuesday, after Moscow confirmed that a bomb attack brought down a Russian passenger jet over Egypt last month, killing all 224 people on board.

Reports have emerged today that ISIS militants are stiffening their defences for a possible assault on their de facto capital. Fighters are hiding in civilian neighborhoods, preventing anyone from fleeing, former residents say.

The northern Syrian city's estimated 350,000 people are gripped by fear, rattled by powerful Russian and French bombing raids that shake the city daily.

They are also worried they will be trapped with nowhere to go amid signs of a looming ground invasion by U.S.-allied Kurdish and Arab forces in Syria, according to the former residents who have fled to Turkey and now report on events in Raqqa through acquaintances and activists inside.

Raqqa activists say the militants have been stepping up defenses of the city since late October, after the Democratic Forces launched their campaign vowing to retake the city. Shortly afterward, IS banned people leaving the city and activists said it has stepped up enforcement of the ban in the past few days, leading to fears the group intends to use civilians as human shields in future fighting.

To avoid being hit in their bases, the fighters have moved into residential neighboUrhoods in empty homes abandoned by people who fled Raqqa earlier, said an activist from Raqqa. He spoke on condition he be identified only by the name he uses in his political activism, Khaled, for security reasons.

'There is major fear in the city, especially with Daesh preventing civilians from leaving the city,' Khaled said, using the Arabic acronym for the group.





France's defense minister says French fighter jets have carried out a series of airstrikes on ISIS targeting command units, training camps and weapons depots





France have launched a three-day bombging campaign hitting jihadists who claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks, Defence Minister Jean Yves Le Drian said

Khaled, who now lives in Turkey, is in touch with people back in Raqqa. Raqqa residents could not be reached because of an IS ban on private Internet access across the city.

Among new measures that have been put in place by ISIS, according to several of the activists, is an order that IS fighters move only in alleys and side streets to avoid detection from the air and not use vehicles at night.

Those measures have intensified after a series of successful hits by the coalition that killed a number of IS leaders, including Jihadi John who appeared in several videos depicting the beheadings of U.S. and Western hostages.

On the roads leading into Raqqa, the extremists have dug extensive tunnels and trenches, said another activist from Raqqa, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of IS retaliation.

More recently, the militants placed tires filled with fuel on empty barrels around the city, with plans to ignite them in case of an attack to cloud the skies with smoke.


The attacks on Raqqa since the Paris attacks include:

  • November 14 - Russian airstrikes that activists say struck central Raqqa near the Grand Mosque and the museum building that killed up to 13 civilians in addition to a number of IS militants.
  • November 15 - France's Defense Ministry said 12 aircraft dropped a total of 20 bombs Sunday night in the biggest air strikes since France extended its bombing campaign against the extremist group to Syria in September.
  • November 16-17 - French jets bombed a jihadi training camp and munitions dump in Raqqa.
  • November 17 - Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Russian bombers hit Islamic State positions in Raqqa and Deir el-Zour, to the southeast. Russian warplanes also fired cruise missiles on militant positions in Syria's Idlib and Aleppo provinces. French warplanes also carried out new strikes in the evening.


Abdel Rahman, director of the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said of the the 'limited number' of ISIS deaths from the three-day bombing campaign 'can be explained by the fact that the jihadists had taken precautions'.
He added: 'There were only guards around the depots and barracks and most of those killed were at the checkpoints.'

Russia said that more than 30 missiles were due to be fired aimed at taking out 14 ISIS fighting positions in a matter of hours.


He said many families of foreign fighters had also left the city for Mosul in Iraq, another stronghold of IS, which has seized control of large parts of Syria and Iraq.

As part of its own bombing campaign, Russia is reported to have deployed its Tupolev-160 bombers for their first ever combat mission, Russian media has reported.

The supersonic war plane can carry up to 12 missiles, it has been reported, and fly at up to 2,000km per hour.

TV Zvezsa reported that Tupolev-95 and Tupolev-160 planes took off from Engels air force base in the Saratov region of Russia.
More than 30 missiles were due to be fired aimed at taking out 14 ISIS fighting positions in a matter of hours.

The strategic missile carrier planes were in the air for 9 hours 30 minutes and they flew 6500 km away, it was reported.

'The planes are working in groups, while one plane is attacking, the second one is covering it. The usage of this air force was agreed with the countries-allies,' the network said.

'The planes are taking off from Mozdok base in pairs and follow each other at several hundreds of meters distance. Six night flights and six day time flights were aimed at the ISIS targets in Raqqa and Deir-ez-Zor regions of Syria. All Tupovel-22 planes successfully returned to the base in Mozdok and are ready for new combat missions.'

Yesterday Putin ordered his warships to co-operate with the French military as both countries launched revenge attacks on ISIS targets in Syria.

The strikes come after it was revealed French jets had pounded targets in the terrorists' Syrian stronghold, including a command centre and a recruitment base for jihadists.

The Russian President said he wants his missile cruiser Moskva, which is in the Mediterranean Sea, to work with France's military, who were carrying out more airstrikes over Syria last night after ISIS claimed responsibility for the Paris terror attacks.

The Egyptian plane crash and the weekend wave of terrorist attacks in Paris have raised Russia's determination to fight ISIS, although concern remains in the West that its Syria airstrikes are also targeting rebels who are opposed to Syrian President Bashar Assad but not affiliated with radical groups.

Putin said a French aircraft carrier task force is to approach the Moskva soon and the cruiser is to 'cooperate with them as with allies'.

Russian forces yesterday carried out 34 cruise missile strikes over Raqqa, which is seen as Islamic State's capital city, Idlib and Aleppo. They also deployed long-range Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers from Russian bases.

The terror group has positions in Aleppo province and Idlib has the presence of the Nusra Front militant group.

Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu last night confirmed that Russian bombers hit ISIS positions in Raqqa and Deir al-Zour.
Shoigu said the cruise missiles that hit the Aleppo and Idlib positions were fired from supersonic Tu-160 bombers and from Tu-95s, long-distance turboprop strategic bombers that started from Russian territory.

As Russia's campaign in Syria intensifies, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticised the United States for pursuing what he said was a contradictory and confusing policy in Syria.

In remarks in a Russian TV documentary, Lavrov said that analysis of U.S. attacks on Islamic State militants in Syria over the past year indicates that the attacks are sparing the ISIS units that would pose the most threat to the Syrian army and Assad.
The U.S. wants to see Assad removed from power, but Lavrov said this means that Washington is effectively 'sitting on two chairs'.

American military generals are also criticizing the country, saying the US has been slow to act and is holding back.

BRITAIN MAY NEED TO CARRY ON BOMBING ISIS IN SYRIA 'FOR YEARS TO COME', WARNS THINK TANK


Britain may need to carry on air strikes against ISIS for years to come - even if there is little prospect of delivering a knockout blow - a military think tank has warned.


A report by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) said that without a wider political settlement in Syria, the UK could have to sustain its military campaign against the extremists 'over a period of several years'.

Even then, the report said, it is possible - 'perhaps even likely' - that the operation will end without having achieved a 'decisive strategic effect'.

David Cameron has signalled his renewed determination to seek Commons support for extending RAF air strikes against ISIS - currently restricted to Iraq - into Syria in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.

The report, by Professor Malcolm Chalmers, said it would be seen as an 'important demonstration of solidarity with France' at a time when Britain's reputation as a reliable military partner was being undermined by the continued 'parliamentary manoeuvring' over air strikes.





David Cameron (pictured) has signalled his renewed determination to seek Commons support for extending RAF air strikes against ISIS - currently restricted to Iraq - into Syria in the wake of the Paris terror attacks



But while the case for joining the air strikes in Syria was now stronger than when the US-led coalition against IS was formed in 2014, it warned that the Government needed to be careful not to overstate their likely impact.

Although they had contributed to 'second order objectives', such as protecting the Kurds in northern Syria, the report said that - given Britain's limited resources compared with the US - the addition of RAF war planes to the effort would not be 'strategically transformative'.

'In the absence of a wider political settlement in Syria, the UK's military campaign may need to be sustained over a period of several years,' the report said.

'In these circumstances, it is possible - perhaps even likely - that the operation could end without achieving a decisive strategic effect.'

The report said that it would be difficult to commit a higher level of air power to the conflict without eroding the RAF's ability to respond to other crises.

While the UK retained a 'degree of influence' in the region, it said that politicians should not be under any illusion that Britain could be a central player in the diplomatic efforts to resolve the Syria crisis.

'The relatively limited nature of the UK role adds weight to the argument that it will be important to ensure that it does not over-commit resources to a protracted military campaign whose strategic objectives it has little ability to influence,' it said.
'Our air campaign in Syria and Iraq has never been what it should be,' former US Army vice chief of staff Gen. Jack Keane said
Keane criticized the US 'rules of engagements',
which he claimed has let enemies escape because it takes too long to get approval for targets under the restrictions.

The currently imposed rules of engagements, which provide authorization and restrictions on the military's use of force, are no civilian deaths and to limit collateral damage, according to retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, who called them 'unrealistic'.

'Obama believes in this illusion that you can somehow wage clean war,' he said. 'But you can't have a standard of no civilian casualties and expect to win like that. It never has and it never will.'

Keane claims that ISIS is aware of the US rules of engagement and thus can't be found 'out in the middle of the desert totally exposed'.
'Every function and critical node they have is tucked in some place within the population,' he said.

President Obama has fought back against critics and said his strategy, which avoids sending ground forces to Syria or Iraq, is going to work but - 'it's going to take time'.

The US has launched 8,253 airstrikes against ISIS targets as of Tuesday, carrying out 95 percent of the airstrikes in Syria since the coalition air campaign against ISIS began last summer, according to the Pentagon.

On Monday US warplanes took out 100 tanker trucks ISIS uses to transport oil and earn millions every month and on Tuesday another 17 airstrikes were conducted by an American-led coalition, according to the Pentagon.

Meanwhile, France's defense minister says 10 French fighter jets are carrying out new airstrikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria.
Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the jets have carried out new raids. Speaking on TF1 TV, he said France will have 36 fighter jets in the region capable of carrying out airstrikes on IS targets once the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier reaches the zone.

Russia are also reportedly transporting paramilitary forces across Syria. Personnel and helicopters operating are operating inside the country to support, according to the Twitter account of Assyrian Christian militia, known as the Gozarto Protection Force (GPF).

The GPF are based in the western province of Homs are fighting to defend the predominantly Christian town of Sadad. They claim that the Russian military have flown in to join their fight against ISIS in the town.

Putin had vowed to 'punish' those responsible for bringing down a jet over the Sinai desert last month, after he confirmed that a bomb was responsible for the crash.

The Russian president claimed that the jet was blown up by a home-made bomb containing 1.5kg of explosives, resulting in the loss of 224 lives.
Shortly after Mr Putin's announcement, Egyptian authorities arrested two airport employees accused of helping ISIS to smuggle the device onto the aircraft.

The Airbus A321 disappeared 23 minutes after leaving Sharm el-Sheikh airport en-route to St Petersburg.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack on the Metrojet aircraft which crashed on October 31.

Alexander Bortnikov, head of the FSB security agency told Russian President Vladimir Putin: 'One can say unambiguously that it was a terror act.
'An improvised bomb with a capacity of up to 1.5 kg of TNT exploded on the fight.

'As a result, the aircraft was torn apart in the air, which explains the large distance over which the pieces of the fuselage of the aircraft have scattered.'

President Putin has vowed to avenge the perpetrators:

'It's not the first time Russia faces barbaric terrorist crimes. Killing our people at Sinai is among the most bloody crimes judging by the number of victims.

'And we won't wipe our tears away from our hearts and souls. It will remain with us forever. But it won't stop us from finding and punishing the criminals.'

He vowed: 'We must do it without time limitation. We must know each name. We will search for them everywhere, wherever they will hide. We will find them in any part of planet and punish them.'

'There is no statute of limitation on this. The combat work of our aviation in Syria must not only be continued. It must be intensified so that the criminals understand that vengeance is inevitable.'

It came after French President Francois Hollande yesterday called on the United States and Russia to join a global coalition to destroy ISIS following the attacks in Paris, and hours later French fighter jets launched fresh strikes on targets in Syria.

A spokesman for France's military command said the strike, conducted overnight, included 10 fighter jets, which were launched from the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. The airstrikes comes just a day after French jets launched a series of 'massive' raids on ISIS in Syria as the country started its 'pitiless' retribution for the terror attacks on Paris.

That blitz was conducted by ten fighter planes which dropped 20 bombs on the terror group's capital of Raqqa, destroying a key command centre, training camp and munitions dump, throwing the city into panic.

The bombardment came just two days after President Francois Hollande said the co-ordinated attacks in Paris that killed up to 129 people was an 'act of war' and vowed to strike ISIS in Syria 'without mercy'.

In France, police carried out around 150 co-ordinated anti-terrorism raids across the country yesterday morning, arresting dozens of suspects and seizing a cache of weapons including a rocket launcher

The bombardment came just two days after President Francois Hollande said the co-ordinated attacks in Paris that killed up to 129 people was an 'act of war' and vowed to strike ISIS in Syria 'without mercy'



A huge manhunt is also underway for accomplices of the Islamist cell including one of the bomb plotters who is still on the run after police let him go in a string of incredible security blunders before and after the atrocity on Friday night.

A French official has also identified the suspected mastermind of the Paris attacks as Belgian Abdelhamid Abaaoud.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, meanwhile, has warned that authorities believe new terror attacks are being planned in France and in other European countries following the carnage.

Yesterday Hollande told a joint session of parliament at the Palace of Versailles 'France is at war', before promising to increase funds for national security and strengthen anti-terrorism laws in response to the suicide bombings and shootings that killed 129.

'We're not engaged in a war of civilisations, because these assassins do not represent any. We are in a war against jihadist terrorism which is threatening the whole world,' he told a packed, sombre chamber.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for Friday's coordinated attacks, saying they were in retaliation for France's involvement in US-backed air strikes in Iraq and Syria.

PARIS MASSACRE: WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THE DEADLIEST TERROR ATTACK TO HIT EUROPE IN A DECADE

At least 129 people are dead, and another 352 injured, after three teams of jihadis struck the Stade de France football stadium, a handful of bars and cafes, and then finally the Bataclan concert hall.

FIRST TWO ATTACKS: STADE DE FRANCE

  • The attacks began at 9.20pm at the Stade de France where the French football team was hosting Germany in an international friendly.
  • The game was being watched by 80,000 spectators, among them was President Francois Hollande who had to be evacuated from the stadium.
  • Ahmed Almohammad, 25, from Syria approached the stadium with a match ticket. He was turned away from Gate D after being frisked by a security guard.
  • He backed away from the gate and detonated his vest, killing one other person. A passport was found near his body.
  • A second suicide bomber, Bilal Hadfi, 20, blew himself up near Gate H at 9.30pm. No one else was reported killed. Hadfi is said to have fought with ISIS in Syria.
THIRD ATTACK: LE PETIT CAMBODGE AND LE CARILLON BAR
  • At 9.25pm a separate team of gunmen arrived in a Black Seat and attacked diners at popular Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon bar in the trendy Canal Saint-Martin area of eastern Paris, killing 15. The gunmen were using Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifles.





Timeline of events: Eight terrorists carried out the devastating attacks on Friday night, leaving 129 people dead and another 352 injured


FOURTH ATTACK: LA CASA NOSTRA PIZZERIA AND LA BELLE EQUIPE BAR

  • The same unit then drove about 500 yards to La Casa Nostra pizzeria and opened fire on diners on the terrace of the restaurant, killing at least five people.
  • From there, the militants drove around a mile south-east – apparently past the area of the Bataclan concert venue – to launch another attack, this time on La Belle Equipe bar in Rue de Charonne. At least 19 people died after the terrace was sprayed with bullets at 9.36pm The attackers then drove off.
FIFTH ATTACK: CAFÉ 'COMPTOIR VOLTAIRE'
  • At 9.40pm, Ibrahim Abdeslam, also known as Brahim, 31, set off a suicide vest inside cafe 'Comptoir Voltaire' on the Boulevard Voltaire and close to the Bataclan theatre. He hired a black Seat car used in the attack, which was found later abandoned with three assault rifles, along with five full magazines. The killers had emptied 11 magazines, firing an estimated 330 rounds.
SIXTH ATTACK: BATACLAN MUSIC HALL
  • At 9.40pm, the third group (believed to be three men and a woman) armed with AK-47s stormed the Bataclan music hall and began shooting members of the crowd. Survivors claim three blew themselves up and a fourth person was shot dead by police before they could detonate their bomb.
SEVENTH ATTACK: NEAR STADE DE FRANCE
  • At around 10.15pm a third blast took place near the Stade de France, this time by a McDonald's restaurant on the fringes of the stadium. The boom caused terror among spectators who had already been attempting to flee the stadium following the first two explosions. The attacker who detonated his suicide vest was identified as a 20-year-old French man living in Belgium.

AFTERMATH:

  • On Saturday morning, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks across Paris, saying 'eight brothers wearing explosive belts and carrying assault rifles' conducted a 'blessed attack on... Crusader France'.
  • On Saturday morning, the world's most wanted man, Salah Abdeslam is stopped by French police along with two other men as he approached the Belgian border. He is released after he shows his ID and returns to the Jihadi hotspot of Molenbeek in Brussels where he vanishes.
  • Belgian police launch several anti-terror raids after Abdeslam was identified as having rented a VW Polo used by the Bataclan killers which was found abandoned nearby.
  • One of the Stade de France suspects was found carrying a Syrian passport under the name Ahmed Almohammad who travelled to France as a migrant through Greece on October 3. Ferry tickets reveal he travelled with another man named as Mohammed Almuhamed.
  • However, the French minister of justice Christiane Taubira said on Sunday that the passport under the name Ahmed Almohammad was a fake.
  • Omar Ismaël Mostefai, 29, from Courcouronnes, Paris was also named as a Bataclan suicide bomber. The petty criminal and father-of-one was known to police as a radical and had travelled to Algeria and Syria. He was identified by the fingerprint on a severed digit found after he detonated his suicide belt.
  • Mostefai is believed to have been radicalised by a Belgian hate preacher of Moroccan descent claimed to have regularly preached at his mosque in South West France. His father, a brother and other family members have been held and are being questioned.
  • The black Seat Leon used by the terrorists who murdered diners outside the Casa Nostra pizza restaurant and the La Belle Équipe cafe was found abandoned 20 minutes away in Montreuil with three AK-47s and 16 magazines - 11 of them empty.
  • Seven people were detained in Belgium linked to the atrocities. Five are from the Molenbeek area of Brussels known as a 'den of terrorists'.
  • Five of those arrested, including Salah and Ibrahim Abdeslams' brother Mohamed have been released without charge. Two others have been charged with unspecified terrorist offences.
  • Iraqi spies warned the West of an ISIS suicide bomber threat the day before the Paris atrocities, it was revealed on Sunday, as more details of major intelligence failures began to emerge. The US-led coalition in Syria was apparently told by Iraqi security sources that 24 extremists were involved in the terror operation planned in the ISIS capital Raqqa and it would involve 19 attackers including five others including bombmakers and planners. No detail was given of when or where an attack might take place.
  • It has also emerged that Turkey's authorities foiled a plot to stage a 'Jihadi John revenge attack' in Istanbul - involving a high-profile British jihadist - on the same day as the deadly massacre in Paris.
  • From as far back as August, France's authorities possessed information that militants were said to be planning attacks on French concert halls after a tip-off was received from a 30-year-old man who was detained on his way back from Syria.
  • On Sunday night there were 42 people still said to be in intensive care in hospital following Friday's terrorist attacks.





Thousands lined the streets of Paris on Monday for a minute's silence to remember those killed in a wave of attacks on the city on Friday


LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

  • French and Belgian police are still hunting for three gunmen on the run, including Abdeslam, and an ISIS bombmaker likely to have made the suicide vests.
  • An international arrest warrant has been issued for Abdeslam, 26, who is accused of renting a Volkswagen Polo used by the suicide bombers.
  • It emerged on Sunday night that police found Abdeslam near the Belgian border early Saturday but let him go after he showed them his ID card. Officers pulled over the car being driven by Abdeslam on Saturday morning on the A2 motorway between Paris and Brussels. Two other men were also in the car.
  • At the time, officers in Paris knew that Abdeslam had rented the car used by the killers which had been abandoned near the theatre but the information had not been transmitted to those responsible for conducting the border checks.
  • On Sunday evening the French defence ministry announced that the country's warplanes had bombed Islamic State's stronghold in Syria's Raqa, destroying a command post and a training camp. Ten fighter jets were involved, dropping 20 bombs.
  • French and Belgian police conducted 168 pre-dawn anti-terror raids on Monday, including a botched attempt to capture Abdeslam, who is still on the run. The raids took place at addresses in Brussels, Toulouse, Lyon, Grenoble, Calais and two suburbs of Paris. A rocket launcher, flak jackets, several pistols and a Kalashnikov assault rifle were among the cache of weapons seized in Lyon overnight.
  • French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said 104 people had been placed under house arrest, while 23 suspects were detained for questioning.
  • The mastermind behind the Paris terror attacks is named as one of ISIS' top executioners, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, who even recruited his 13-year-old brother to fight with him in Syria.
  • ISIS issue a chilling new video warning that countries taking part in air strikes against Syria will suffer the same fate as Paris and claimed they will attack Washington D.C. next.
  • French police have discovered a safe house used by the terror gang in the Bobigny suburb of Paris rented three days before the attack.
  • The Royal Air Force has stuck ISIS targets in northern Iraq as the French continue their air strikes against the Jihadi stronghold of Raqqa, Syria.

European Union VIDEOs >Libyan Arrested for Murder of UK Cop Yvonne Fletcher

Libyan Man Held Over Pc Yvonne Fletcher Murder in 1984

Daily Mail UK, 21 November 2015


A Libyan man remains in custody for questioning over a conspiracy to murder Pc Yvonne Fletcher more than 31 years after she was shot dead.



The suspect in his 50s was detained by counter-terrorism officers in south-east England in what police described as a "significant turning point" in the inquiry into the death of the officer, who was gunned down aged 25 during a protest outside the Libyan embassy in London in April 1984.

In addition to conspiracy to murder, the man was arrested on suspicion of money laundering.

Two other Libyan nationals, a woman in her 40s and a man in his 30s, also arrested on suspicion of money laundering in south east England and London respectively have been bailed until late January.


Searches continue being carried out at several locations around the country.

Detectives said the emphasis of the investigation has shifted to an alleged conspiracy, released dramatic footage of the aftermath of the shootings and disclosed they believe two guns were used.

Following the announcement, the officer's family made an emotional appeal for information, saying her father Tim died recently with his "one regret" that he had "never witnessed any justice".

Pc Fletcher was killed as she policed a demonstration against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi outside the Libyan People's Bureau in St James's Square on April 17 1984.


The shooting sparked a 10-day siege of the building before 30 of the occupants were deported back to Libya.

No one has ever been prosecuted over the killing. A reward of up to £50,000 is now being offered for information leading to the identification, arrest and prosecution of those responsible.

Police said the demise of Gaddafi, who died in 2011 during civil war in Libya, and the regime change that followed had "provided access to new lines of inquiry" and they were acting on fresh evidence.

British detectives have visited the country on seven occasions since 2012.

Scotland Yard refused to provide specific details of the arrests or how the money laundering and murder inquiries may be linked.

Investigators believe the incident was part of the so-called "stray dogs campaign" orchestrated from Libya to attack overseas dissidents and their interests at the time.

At about 10.17am on the day, a number of shots were fired from within the building, and the unarmed officer suffered a fatal shot to the back.


Commander Richard Walton, the head of the Met's counter terrorism command, said: "I can tell you today the we believe two firearms were used - a pistol and an automatic weapon."

Ten anti-Gaddafi protesters were also injured.
Scotland Yard released video footage showing the chaotic moments after the shots were fired.

Dozens of demonstrators fall to the ground before Pc Fletcher is seen stricken on the ground surrounded by colleagues.

Police appealed for those present on the day or others who have information to come forward.

"Allegiances change and we hope with the passage of time, witnesses who have not spoken to us will examine their consciences and come forward," said Mr Walton.

Images of 14 pro-Gaddafi demonstrators who were also gathered outside the building on the day and who police wish to trace have been released.

Mr Walton said: "There were a number of witnesses who were part of the pro-Gaddafi counter demonstration whom we have never spoken to.

"We appeal particularly to these people to come forward and speak to us now even after 31 years."

  • Family make emotional appeal as police offer £50,000 for key information

Scotland Yard have released horrifying footage of the moment Pc Yvonne Fletcher was shot outside the Libyan Embassy in London 31-years ago, after counter terrorism officers today arrested a man over her murder.


The video - recorded by an on-duty policeman - captured the exact moment the bullet that killed the 25-year-old constable was fired as officers tried to contain the demonstration outside the Libyan People's Bureau in St James's Square on the morning of April 17, 1984.

As the camera pans over the crowd, a loud bang can be heard, as those gathered are seen crouching to the ground fearing for their lives.

Uniformed Pc Fletcher can then be seen writhing in agony on the road, clasping her chest. She had been shot in the back.

Her panicked colleagues then rush over to her and quickly start attending to her on the ground, at which point the recording ends.





Three Libyans were arrested in the UK by detectives investigating the murder of Pc Yvonne Fletcher (pictured) 31 years ago


The young officer was rushed to Westminster Hospital but died later that day.

Metropolitan Police chose to release the footage after it was announced this morning that a man in his 50s has been arrested over Pc Fletcher's murder.

Officers from Scotland Yard's counter terrorism command swooped on addresses in London and the South East in dawn raids after making what has been described as a 'significant breakthrough' in the case.

They held a man the man on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and money laundering.
Two other people, a woman in her 40s and a man in his 50s, were also held for money laundering offences.
All three remain in custody and searches are under way across the country.

The move is the culmination of a renewed inquiry by the London force in the wake of the collapse of the Gaddafi regime.

Police chiefs said they have received crucial new information about a 'conspiracy' to murder Pc Fletcher and other anti-Gaddafi demonstrators.

They are now offering £50,000 for key information anyone can provide in relation to the shooting.

However, the force have still described today's swoop as 'the first significant arrest' in the 31-year-old case - which they now believe involved 'two firearms - a pistol and and an automatic weapon.'

Wpc Fletcher, who was unarmed, suffered a fatal shot to the back as she policed protests against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime outside the embassy, which were also caught on film.
She had been with the Met for just six years when she died.

The day of her killing, a large group of anti-Gaddafi campaigners gathered outside the Libyan Embassy at 10am as pro-Gaddafi supporters staged a counter demonstration.

Police believe the counter protest was centrally organised by people inside the Bureau as part of the 'stray dogs' campaign to harass and disrupt dissidents.
At 10.17am a number of shots rang out from a first-floor window. The supplied footage shows people running away and flinging themselves to the ground in terror.

As well as Pc Fletcher, 10 Libyans were shot and injured in the chaos.

Her death triggered a siege on the embassy by the Metropolitan Police Service.

Police surrounded the bureau and 30 officials were held inside as negotiations continued for 10 days.
The suspects were eventually released and escorted to the Civil Service College in Berkshire where they were 'briefly' interviewed before flying back to Libya.

The government then severed all diplomatic relations with Libya.

Former Pc John Murray changed places with Pc Fletcher outside the Libyan Embassy to avoid cramp minutes before she was shot.
He was later pictured cradling the dying officer on the pavement, quietly vowing to her his determination to track down her assassin, however long it took.

Speaking today from his home in Chingford, Essex, Mr Murray said: 'Let's hope today's development finally wins justice for Yvonne. It is the very least she deserves and it is right that the police chief behind the new announcement has said that her death was one of the force's darkest days.

'It doesn't matter that me, to a degree, feels vindicated, it is all about Yvonne and her family and the pain which they've endured for so long.

'FATHER'S REGRET IN LIFE IS THAT HE NEVER WITNESSED JUSTICE': YVONNE FLETCHER'S FAMILY RELEASE EMOTIONAL STATEMENT


Pc Fletcher's family today spoke of their continued pain three decades since her death.
In a statement released via Scotland Yard, mother Queenie Fletcher spoke of the family's double heartbreak after Pc Fletcher's father Tim passed away recently.

They insisted that he died regretting that he had never been able to see justice done for his daughter.
The family said: 'It is now 31 years since Yvonne was shot and killed outside the Libyan People's Bureau in St James's Square.

'Recently we have had to come to terms with another loss through the death of Yvonne's father, Tim.
'His one regret in life was that no one had been arrested in connection with the murder of his daughter and he never witnessed any justice.
'Resolving this crime is still important to all the family.

'Any information, however small, can help bring closure for the family and we therefore continue to support the Metropolitan Police in their ongoing investigation.


'I made Yvonne a promise, to find her killer and I've never lost sight of that goal.'
He added: 'I suppose, yes, there was a sense of guilt in that Yvonne was shot where I'd once stood, but my compassion for her and my pledge to work tirelessly for her is and was always sincere.
'At memorial services to Yvonne over the years, I've been snubbed by senior officers who have grudgingly talked to me, but sometimes it felt as if I didn't exist.

'The fact they air-brushed me for becoming what to them was a thorn in their flesh, by me constantly demanding answers and questioning them, didn't bother me a jot. It was all about Yvonne.'

Met detectives have travelled to Libya seven times in the last three years following the fall of the Gaddafi regime.

Commander Richard Walton, who leads the Met's counter terrorism work, said the demise of Gaddafi, who died in 2011 during civil war in Libya, and the regime change has 'provided access to new lines of inquiry and displaced many people outside of Libya.'

He stated that the inquiry is now focused on 'plans' to murder people before the shooting and said officers are looking at 'fresh evidence.'

He said: 'I would describe these arrests as significant but want to make a new public appeal in order to get additional evidence.
'Over the last 31 years we have never lost our resolve to solve this case and bring to justice those who conspired to commit this act of murder.
'It remains one of the saddest and darkest days in the history of British policing.

Mr Walton added: 'The Met is offering a £50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the murder or conspiracy to murder Pc Fletcher.'

Prime Minister David Cameron's official spokeswoman said: 'It would be inappropriate for us to comment on an ongoing case.
'But it does remind us all of the dangers that our brave police officers face on a daily basis and the extraordinary courage they show, and it highlights the determination of the police to pursue those who attack others and make sure people are brought to justice.'

THE 31 YEAR INVESTIGATION TO TRACK DOWN THOSE RESPONSIBLE





Pc Yvonne Fletcher (pictured), 25, is shot by a sniper while policing a protest outside the Libyan embassy in St James's Square, London


April 17, 1984
Pc Yvonne Fletcher, 25, is shot by a sniper while policing a protest outside the Libyan embassy in St James's Square, London, and 11 students are wounded.
She is pronounced dead shortly afterwards at Westminster Hospital. Her killer is thought to have been smuggled out of the country and back to Libya after the shooting. Her death leads to an 11-day siege of the building and the severing of diplomatic links between the UK and Libya.

1999
The Libyan government accepts 'general responsibility' for the killing and agrees to pay compensation to Pc Fletcher's family. British detectives also fly to Libya around that time to interview suspects but reportedly got little help.

2004
Efforts to investigate the killing are stepped up when then prime minister Tony Blair meets Colonel Gaddafi after he agrees to dismantle his country's weapons of mass destruction.

April 2007
A report into Pc Fletcher's death names the man who fired the fatal shot but concludes there is not enough evidence to bring a murder charge.

June 2007
British detectives are able to interview the chief suspect for the first time following the normalisation of political ties with Libya. Detectives spend seven weeks in Libya interviewing witnesses and suspects.

September 2009

It emerges that the Foreign Office has conceded that any trial for the shooting will take place in Tripoli. It is reported that the agreement was struck three years previously, when trade deals worth hundreds of millions of pounds were being negotiated. Campaigners for Pc Fletcher's family brand the matter 'an absolute disgrace'.

February 2011

Major political protests begin in Libya against Gaddafi's government and civil war breaks out.

August 2011

The Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) says that Abdulqadir al-Baghdadi, one of the suspects for Pc Fletcher's murder, has been shot in the head. Junior diplomat Abdulmagid Salah Ameri, who was suspected of firing the fatal shots, is also thought to have died. The last named suspect in the killing believed to be still alive is Matouk Mohammed Matouk.

October 20, 2011

Gaddafi dies after being captured by rebel troops, leading to scenes of wild jubilation in the country he formerly ruled as well as across the world. His death leads to new hope that Pc Fletcher's killer will be brought to justice.

November 2011

A senior British diplomat says he is confident that Scotland Yard detectives will soon be allowed to visit Libya.

Daily Mail UK, 3 December 2015




Syed Rizwan Farook (pictured inset), who is U.S.-born, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, were killed in a gun battle with police after the mass shooting at a government holiday party held at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino.


Relatives have said the two were married. San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said Farook, 28, an environmental specialist with the county health department, had attended the party, but left 'angry'. He said a motive is not yet known, but said there did seem to be 'some degree of planning involved' in the attack.

Farook was an environmental specialist with the county health department who sometimes worked at the Inland Regional Center. Farook met his wife in her native Saudi Arabia after meeting her online befoe marrying and moving back to the US.

Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), says the couple left their baby with family Wednesday morning and never returned. Farook's brother-in-law Farhan Khan spoke at a press conference held at the offices of the CAIR in Anaheim to say he was stunned to hear of his relative's involvement in the shooting.

Khan, who is married to Farook's sister, said he last spoke to him about a week ago. He said he had 'absolutely no idea why he would do this. I am shocked myself.'

San Bernardino gunman Syed Farook met his Pakistani wife-turned-accomplice Tashfeen Malik while on the hajj in Saudi Arabia and appeared to have been radicalized, law enforcement officials revealed this afternoon.

investigators told CNN that Farook, a native US citizen of South Asian descent, was in touch by phone and via social media with more than one international terrorism subject.

Federal officials also told NBC News that Farook made a trip to Saudi Arabia within the past two years, most likely for the hajj – the annual religious pilgrimage to the sacred city of Mecca that all devout Muslims are required to go on at least once in their lives.

It is believed that during his stay overseas, he met Malik, got engaged and later brought her over the US on a K-1 fiancee visa.
After the couple got married, Malik, who was a native of Pakistan, became a naturalized US citizen.

On Wednesday morning, Farook, 28, and Malik, 27, dropped off their six-month-old baby with Farook's mother, saying they were going to a doctor's appointment.

By noon, according to police, the couple had donned assault clothing, armed themselves with rifles and stormed a holiday party attended by San Bernardino County employees, killing 14 people and wounding 21 others. According to some reports, the duo had GoPro cameras strapped to their body armor during the shooting.
Before sunset, after a massive manhunt and a violent shootout with police on a residential street in the city of Redlands.

Those who knew Farook, among them his colleagues at the San Bernardino County Public Health Department, described him as a devout Muslim but not someone who often talked about religion.

'He never struck me as a fanatic, he never struck me as suspicious,' said Griselda Reisinger, a former colleague.

Co-worker Patrick Baccari, who shared a cubicle with Farook, said he and his young family appeared to be 'living the American dream.'

Local news footage on Wednesday evening showed one of the dead attackers outside the shot-out SUV. The suspect was killed in a police chase while still inside the vehicle, then moved on the street


In the pre-dawn hours of Thursday morning, a search team comprised of police and federal agents combed the residence in Redlands,

California, associated with Farook and his wife. A black sedan parked outside was also searched.
The home is where officers initially saw a vehicle matching the description of the suspects' SUV in the hours before the final gun battle that killed them.

A bomb squad on Wednesday swept the building with robots. Public records show it is a possible residence of a family member of Farook.

President Barack Obama addressed the shooting from the Oval Office shortly before noon Eastern Time, saying it is possible the massacre in San Bernardino was related to terrorism, but it's also possible it was workplace-related, or that the perpetrators had mixed motives.

'At this stage, we don't yet know why this terrible event occurred,' a somber Mr Obama told the press.
'We do know that the two individuals who were killed were equipped with weapons and appeared to have access to additional weaponry at their homes, but we don't know why they did it; we do not know the extent of their plans and their motivations.'

The commander-in-chief assured Americans that the FBI, who has taken over the investigation, will get to the bottom of what happened in California on Wednesday.
In his remarks, Obama also touched upon the issue of gun control, saying the nation must make it harder for people to carry out acts of violence.

'We see the prevalence of these kinds of mass shootings in this country, and like so many Americans, sometime feel as if there is nothing we can do about it,’ Obama said.
'We can't just leave it to our professionals to deal with the problem of these kinds of horrible killings. We all have a part to play.





Somber mood: President Barack Obama addressed the shooting from the Oval Office shortly before noon Eastern Time, saying it is possible the massacre in San Bernardino was related to terrorism, but it's also possible it was workplace-related





Call to action: The president said the nation, including the local legislatures, must make it harder to carry out acts of gun violence





Nation in mourning: The American flag over the White House is lowered to half staff to honor the victims of the San Bernardino shootings


'We're gonna have to search ourselves, as a society, to make sure that we can take basic steps that would make it harder, not impossible, but harder, for individuals to get access to weapons.'

Earlier in the day, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said at a press conference the Justice Department will be offering ‘any and all assistance necessary’ as the investigation into the California mass shooting continues.

Lynch was speaking at an event about criminal justice at the White House. She called Wednesday’s deadly massacre ‘unspeakable.’
Lynch says the government doesn't know a lot yet about the incident. But she says the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and other federal authorities have been dispatched.

The attorney general said that whatever the results of the investigation, there's no place for this type of violence in the US.

In the hours after the shooting, more information emerged about Farook, who was born in the US, and Malik, whom is he thought to have met and married in Saudi Arabia two years ago.

Farook's family was originally from South Asia, while Malik was believed to be from Pakistan and had lived in Saudi Arabia before coming to the United States, said Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic

Relations (CAIR). Farook had an older brother, he added, who had served in the US military.
Farook graduated from California State University, San Bernardino with a degree in environmental health in 2009, according to the university's commencement document.

As BuzzFeed first reported, according to Transparent California, which publishes public employee salary information, Farook earned $51,747 plus benefits, in 2013 working as an environmental health specialist.

The gunman's father, also named Syed Farook, seemed shocked in the wake of the slaughter.
“I haven’t heard anything,' the elder Mr Farook said before his son’s name became public. 'He was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to
pray, come back. He’s Muslim.'

'I'LL TAKE A BULLET BEFORE YOU DO, THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE': BRAVE COP REASSURES PEOPLE TRAPPED INSIDE MASSACRE CONFERENCE CENTER

A brave San Bernardino cop reassured terrified workers inside the Inland Regional Center that he would take a bullet to save them.

The unnamed officer tells people to 'try to relax' as he leads them through the corridors of the building where shortly before 14 people had been murdered.

He asks the clearly panicking crowd to walk calmly with their hands above their heads, and points out that he will be the first to be hurt should anything go wrong as he is leading the way.

The officer tells the group: 'Try to relax, try to relax. I'll take a bullet before you do - that's for damn sure'.
In an online profile reportedly created by Farook and his parents six years ago on the dating site iMilap.com, a 'one stop source for Indian matrimonial and dating services,' the health inspector described himself as 6 feet tall and said he didn't drink or smoke

Farook wrote that he was part of a 'religios [sic] but modern family of 4 - 2 girls, 2 boys,' and that he enjoyed 'doing target practice with younger sister and friends' in their backyard.
He added that he enjoyed working on vintage and modern cars, and read religious books while enjoying eating out sometimes.

He was also registered on Dubaimatrimonial.com, a dating site that is the 'first and only legal marriage service provider in UAE' (United Arab Emirates), according to the website description. In that profile, Farook described himself as being from Karachi, Pakistan, but was born in Chicago and was residing in Los Angles as an American citizen. His religion was shown as Islam.

He also shared his thoughts on living a balanced life as a Muslim-American: 'I try to live as a good Muslim. Looking for a girl who has the same outlook, wear hijab, but live the life to the fullest.'
Public records suggest possible turbulence in Farook's younger life.

In 2006, Rafia Farook, who records indicate is Farook's mother, filed in a Riverside court for divorce from her husband, the elder Mr Farook.

She enumerated multiple instances of domestic abuse in the legal filing, and said her husband 'threatens to kill himself on a daily basis.' During one incident, she said in a court filing, her son came between them 'to save me.'

The suspect's co-worker, Patrick Baccari, said Farook was gone for about a month in the spring. A short time after his return, he was joined by his wife, a woman he described as a pharmacist. A baby soon followed.

An online baby registry on the site The Bump that has been attributed to Tashfeen Malik mentions the city of Riverside, California, as the mother's address and a due date of May 17, 2015. Malik's short wish list included Pampers diapers for newborns, cotton swabs, baby body wash and a convertible car seat.

Baccari said the reserved Farook showed no signs of unusual behavior, although he grew out his beard several months ago.
He said he had been sitting at the same table as Farook at the party on Wednesday morning, but his co-worker suddenly disappeared, leaving his coat behind. Baccari escaped most of the carnage as he was in the bathroom when the shooting started, and sustained only minor wounds from shrapnel which made it through the wall.

Syed Farook's brother-in-law Farhan Khan (pictured) spoke at a press conference held at the offices of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Anaheim to say he was stunned to hear of his relative's involvement in the shooting


'If I hadn't been in the bathroom, I'd probably be laying dead on the floor,' he said.
San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said that Farook was 'angry' when he left the party, before returning with Malik and a stash of heavy weapons. Burguan said that there was obviously 'some degree of planning involved' in the attack.

Survivors of the shooting said the heavily armed duo entered the party venue and opened fire on the guests without uttering a single word.
Police said a third person was detained. It is not clear whether they are connected to the incident.

Hussam Ayloush, the executive director of CAIR, said the couple left their six-month-old daughter with Farook's mother in the city of Redlands early on Wednesday morning. They told her they were going to attend a doctor's appointment for the wife. They never returned.

Dramatic aerial images showed the aftermath of the police chase, which came to an end around a mile and a half from the scene of the massacre.

The bodies of Farook and Malik can be seen near their shot-out SUV, surrounded by heavily-armed officers. One of them was killed in the passenger seat and later removed from the vehicle, while another of the pair appears to have bolted from the vehicle and been gunned down not far away.

Fragments of video from witnesses on the ground showed the killers and officers exchanging gunfire on the roads of San Bernardino as bystanders ducked for cover. The chase ended some time between 3pm and 4pm local time Wednesday - as long as five hours after the massacre began.

A source told CNN that the suspects threw pipe bombs out of the windows of the vehicle before the shootout with police.

A spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the suspects threw a thick-gauge copper pipe out of the SUV, but no explosives were found inside. The fake pipe bomb was equipped with a piece of material made to look like a wick.

One officer was hit in the shoot-out, and was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The married couple also reportedly had left explosives behind in the conference center in San Bernardino prior their escape in the wake of the slaughter.

A bag believed to belong to Farook and Malik was later found at the site of the holiday party. Inside, police discovered three crudely made bombs packed with black powder and rigged to a remote-controlled toy car.

The remote for the car was later recovered from Farook and Malik's SUV, a law enforcement official said, adding that its presence indicated that the couple planned to detonate the explosives from a distance but something must have stopped them.

REVEALED: ARMORY OF HUSBAND-AND-WIFE KILLER DUO WHO USED 'MILITARY TACTICS' IN POLICE SHOOTOUT

Police revealed late Wednesday that Farook and Malik were armed with two assault rifles and two automatic handguns in their battle to the death with the cops.

Officials said that a .223-caliber DPMS Model A15 rifle and a Smith and Wesson M&P15 rifle were both recovered from the scene. They also found a handgun made by Llama and a Smith and Wesson handgun.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said they traced the guns and found that two of them were bought legally, though it did not specify which guns and who purchased them.

It came as a police source said the killer duo used 'military tactics' to confront police. They reportedly had body-mounted cameras, which would have allowed them to record the massacre.



A dramatic police shootout was underway in San Bernardino as police closed in on the terror gunman suspected of killing 14 and injuring another 21 at a disabled learning center on Wednesday morning


KNBC reporter Michelle Valles tweeted shortly after 6am on Thursday that the gunmen's shot-up black SUV was still in the street where the gun battle with police took place the night before.

Neighbors in Redlands were shocked that the suspected shooters had ties to their city.
A man who has been working in town told CBS he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people.

Police have yet to offer a clear motive for the attack, though federal agencies have yet to rule out terrorism, and are hunting for links to ISIS and other extremist groups.

Farook's brother-in-law Farhan Khan spoke at a press conference held at the offices of the CAIR in Anaheim to say he was stunned to hear of his relative's involvement in the shooting.

Khan, who is married to Farook's sister, said he last spoke to him a week ago. He said he had 'absolutely no idea why he would do this. I am shocked myself.'

'I just cannot express how sad I am for what happened today. I am very sad that people lost their lives. I am shock that something like this could happen.' Khan said other family members asked him to speak at the news conference, and to express their sadness over the shootings.

The FBI are considering domestic terrorism and workplace violence as potential motives in the killing, which is the worst since Sandy Hook elementary school was attacked in 2012.

After Farook and Malik were killed, police served a search warrant on a home in Redlands, believed to be the one where the chase began.
Around six vehicles carrying helmeted police drove into the area. One officer carrying an assault rifle ordered reporters to clear the area, and an armored vehicle parked outside a row of homes.

Police also confirmed that an officer, believed to be from the San Bernardino county force, was wounded in a shoot-out with the suspects and is now in hospital with non-life threatening injuries


Stories also began to emerged from those inside the conference center. Shortly before noon, dozens of people were seen existing the building with their hands up. Others were seen being taken away by paramedics on gurneys. Those who fled were brought to a golf course behind, but were then moved from the scene due to a 'potential explosive device.'

The LA Times reported how one victim hid under a desk when she was shot once in the lower back.
Denise Peraza, 27, called her sister telling her that two armed gunmen, dressed in black, wearing black masks entered and started shooting at random.

'She said, "I just want to tell you that I love you" and then she said she had to go and she hung up,' said Stephanie Baldwin.
She said after the shooting, everything was silent for around five minutes until police entered and she was taken out of the building.

Marcos Aquilera said his wife was in the Inland building when a shooter burst in and opened fire.
'They locked themselves in her office. They seen bodies on the floor,' Aguilera said.

People inside the building sent panicked texts to friends and relatives as the gunmen armed with what has been described by CNN as AK-47s stormed the center.

A woman named Holly who works at the learning center where the shooting took place texted her father, Terry Pettit: 'Shooting at my work. People shot. Waiting for cops to catch him. Pray for us.'

Pettit replied: 'Hide find a good spot hide now.'
Holly said: 'I am but we are locked in an office. Cops SWAT helicopter, everything here.'

Another worker named Gina texted her sister Monique: 'There's a shoot out at my work I'm scared.'

The San Bernardino Fire Department tweeted at around 11am local time that first responders were on the scene in 1300 block of South Waterman Avenue. The shooting occurred at the Inland Regional Center, a non-profit organization for people with disabilities.

Marybeth Feild, the president and CEO of the Inland Regional Center, said the shooting happened in the conference area of a building that houses at least 25 employees as well as a library.

Glenn Willwerth, who heard shots being fired, said that he saw a black SUV leaving the scene that was 'driving slowly and deliberately'. He said he saw people running frantically out of the building and hiding behind cars.

A day before the shooting, the San Bernardino center hosted a children's Christmas party.
While most of the center's youngest patients only come in for appointments, some of the most disabled are permanent residents.

A video posted on Twitter showed wheelchair-bound children beaming as they danced to the song Celebrate in one of the center's halls - and pictures posted to the center's official Facebook page show children receiving presents from Santa Claus.

SWAT teams were called in to clear the scene, according to Los Angeles News reporter Doug Sanders.

President Barack Obama was briefed on the shooting in San Bernardino by homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco, and has asked to be kept informed as the situation develops.

In an interview with CBS News this afternoon, Obama addressed this latest shooting.

'We have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world, and there are some steps we can take... to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently,' said the president.

The shooting in San Bernardino comes less than a week after a man opened fire at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado, killing a police officer and two civilians, and injuring nine others.

Default Re: PhOtOs-Muslim Massacre in US >Many Dead/Injured

I just don't understand, from the beginning even after the two were shot in the SUV they were looking for a third shooter as told by witnesses that there were 3 people. What happen to the third person. Just like in Sandy Hook they arrested a guy and even at one point showed him in handcuffs being put in a police car while they were chasing another guy through the woods. Never ever heard anything about them again. Just saw another article today were these mass shooting have increased by 700% since Obama first took office. Coincidence or is he trying to further his no guns agenda......A lot of screwy stuff has been going on with our crooked US government.

Nothing to do with Obama or any recent Govt. Tarfoot. The US has many 'sleeper cells' and has done for years.

Many years ago they had an offer to issue Green Cards to certain countries....

Pakistan was top of the list....

Britain wasnt even on the list...

Go figure.....

Now they reap what they have sown, as will Europe.

I have an awful feeling that this is just the beginning for the US... Many of these fanatics are living within your borders.

Be observant 24/7 and safe

God Bless....

Breaking News PhOtOs-Terrorist GUILTY >Planned Attack in UK=Jail

British Jihadist Facing Jail After Being Found Guilty of Plotting a Lee Rigby-Style Terror Attack on Remembrance Day - But His Two Co-Accused Face Re-trials

  • Nadir Syed, 22, plotted to launch the attack in November last year
  • He was inspired by a speech by ISIS spokesman Muhammad al-Adani
  • The propagandist urged jihadists to ‘rig the roads with explosives’, ‘raid their homes’ and ‘cut off their heads’ as well as inviting attacks on police
  • Syed showed no reaction when he was found guilty in court last week
Daily Mail UK, 14 December 2015


A British jihadist planned a Lee Rigby-style beheading around Remembrance Day.




Nadir Syed, 22


Nadir Syed, 22, plotted to launch the attack in November last year after listening to a speech by ISIS spokesman Muhammad al-Adani, which also called on fellow extremists to target France.

The propagandist urged jihadists to ‘rig the roads with explosives’, ‘raid their homes’ and ‘cut off their heads’ as well as inviting attacks on ‘police, security and intelligence members’.


The September 2014 fatwa also singled out the ‘spiteful and filthy French’ and told listeners:


‘Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him from a high place, or choke him, or poison him.’

The proclamation, issued through the brutal terror group’s media production centre, Al-Furqan, warned Americans and Europeans ‘you will not feel safe in your bedrooms’.


Dressed in a burgundy sweatshirt and wearing an Islamic skull cap he showed no reaction as he was convicted on Wednesday, December 9, of preparation of terrorist acts after 50 hours and 56 minutes of jury deliberations at Woolwich Crown Court.

Jurors were unable to reach verdicts in the case of his cousin Yousaf Syed, 20, and Saudi-born Haseeb Hamayoon, 29.
Yousaf Syed from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, and Hamayoon from Hayes, west London, denied planning acts of terrorism. The judge has ordered a retrial.

He was arrested just days before Remembrance Sunday after buying an 11-inch Victorinox knife from Kitchen Ideas, in Ealing, West London moments after he been handed an ASBO for a public order offence.

Police found gruesome ISIS propaganda on his mobile phone glorifying the beheading of Westerners and he even a homemade video of him stamping on a poppy in the street.

His mobile phone PIN number was 77911, in reference to the 7/7 London bombings in 2005 and the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York in 2001.

In messages on app Telegram he nicknamed himself 'John' after the Jihadi John, who featured in many of ISIS' beheading videos.


He had sought out videos, too graphic to show uncensored in court, and praised the actions of Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, who hacked Drummer Rigby to death in Woolwich in May 2013.

Syed denied preparing an act of terror, but a jury of seven women and four men found he had researched, planned and secured weapons in the months leading up to his arrest to attack people in Britain using knives.





Syed's mobile phone PIN number was 77911, in reference to the 7/7 London bombings in 2005 and the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York in 2001





He was arrested just days before Remembrance Sunday after buying an 11-inch Victorinox knife from Kitchen Ideas






Police found gruesome ISIS propaganda on his mobile phone glorifying the beheading of Westerners and he even a homemade video of him stamping on a poppy in the street.



The prosecutor described the fatwa, which inspired Syed, as ‘truly chilling’ before passages were read out in court.
One read:

‘O soldiers of the Islamic State, be ready for the final campaign of the crusaders. Yes, by Allah’s will, it will be the final one. Thereafter, we will raid them and they will not raid us.’

Another warned westerners: ‘You will pay the price as you are afraid of travelling to any land. Rather you will pay the price as you walk on your streets, turning left and right, fearing the Muslims.
‘You will not feel secure even in your bedrooms. You will pay the price when this crusade of yours collapses and thereafter we will strike you in your homeland and you will never be able to harm anyone afterwards. You will pay the price and we have prepared for you what will pain you.

The proclamation urged followers: ‘Rig the roads with explosives for them. Attack their bases. Raid their homes. Cut off their heads. Do not let them feel secure.’

One passage instructed: ‘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.’

Another read: ‘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 from a high place, or choke him, or poison him.'

Breaking News Re: NEW TERROR ATTACK Stopped in Paris-Disneyland>Man Arrested Carrying Guns/Koran

Man Carrying Two Guns and a ‘Guide to The Koran’ Hidden in a Bag is Arrested at Disneyland Paris as Police Hunt a ‘Woman Accomplice’

  • Police arrested a man at the entrance to a hotel at Disneyland Paris
  • He was carrying two handguns in a bag and a 'guide to the Koran
  • Offered no resistance when police detained him at the amusement park
  • Officers are hunting his female companion who is believed to be on the run
Daily Mail UK, 29 January 2016


A man has been arrested at Disneyland Paris carrying two handguns, ammunition, and a 'guide to the Koran', but police are still hunting his female companion.

Bomb disposal experts surrounded a car after weapons were detected when the luggage was put through an X-ray machine at the entrance to a hotel, 20 miles east of the French capital.

The 28-year-old man, who was not known to security services, was stopped by Disney staff who found the weapons - two semi-automatic handguns and a knife - hidden in his suitcase at about midday.





The couple's car was immediately surrounded by bomb disposal experts, and Hotel New York's car park was shut
down


Quote:
DISNEYLAND RESORT PARIS

Officially opened in 1992 under the name Euro Disney, the park quickly began to attract millions of visitors from around the world.

In 1994 it officially became Disneyland Resort Paris and the following year its famed rollercoaster Space Mountain was opened.
On top of the attractions, the park's income is bolstered by 64 shops, 67 restaurants and seven hotels.

The theme park covers nearly 5,000 acres and is directly served by the Eurostar.
Its blend of fantasy and thrill-seeking requires more than 55,000 staff, with almost 15,000 employed on-site alone, its figures say.

It has seen its number of visitors drop considerably in recent years. In 2014, more than a million fewer people were visiting than in 2012, their annual reports showed.
After France, most visitors to the park come from the UK, making up 14 per cent of their guests in 2013.
A judicial police source said: 'Following questioning, the man made it clear that he had the guns with him for personal protection. The enquiry is ongoing, but it is not a terrorist enquiry.'

Police would not initially name the two suspects, but they said the man was a French national born in the Paris suburb of Lagny, and currently living in the 14th arrondissement of the city. Both the man and the woman are Muslims but of 'European appearance,' said the police source.

Francois Banon, a spokesman for Disneyland Paris, said: 'During a routine security screening checkpoint at one of our hotels, weapons were discovered in a guest's luggage through our X-ray machine.

'The police were immediately notified and the individual was arrested. We continue to work closely with the authorities, and the safety and security of our guests and cast members is our utmost priority.'

'Police were called as soon as the guns were found,' said a hotel source. 'The man did not put up any resistance, but his companion disappeared. The police are still looking for her.'

There are several hotels around Disneyland Paris, which is east of the French capital and is among Europe's most-visited tourist destinations with some 10 million visitors in 2014, according to that year's Global Attractions.

Jean-Luc Marx, Prefect of the Seine-et-Marne district in which Disneyland is situated, said: 'I want to underline that the Disney security services and police reacted immediately, and made sure the man was taken out of harm's way, if indeed he ever intended to harm anyone.
'We don't know at this stage.'





A judicial enquiry has been opened, led by a examining magistrate assisted by police from nearby Meaux, said Mr Marx.




Later in the afternoon, the couple's black car could be seen being towed away on the back of a lorry.

The incident comes just months after Islamist terrorists went on the rampage in Paris killing 130 people.

France remained in a state of emergency since the attacks on November 13, which targeted the Stade de France, packed cafes and bars and the Bataclan music hall.

In January 2015, three days of terror gripped Paris as a series of attacks left 17 people dead, including a massacre at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

France imposed a three-month state of emergency after the November attacks, which President Francois Hollande hopes to extend for another three months, despite fierce opposition from rights activists.

Nobody was hurt during the arrest on Thursday. The park remains open and employees at several hotels around the resort said they continued working as normal after the arrest.

Update VIDEOs > ISIS Threatens UK After Brussels Attacks

BREAKING NEWS: At Least 28 Dead in Two Explosions After Suicide Bomber Targets American Airlines Check-in Desk at Brussels Airport as SECOND Attack Hits Metro Station Near EU Headquarters

  • At least 13 people are killed after two explosions struck the American Airlines check-in desk at 8am (7am GMT)
  • Terrified passengers covered in blood ran for their lives after explosion sent 'shockwaves' through terminal building
  • Another explosion killed ten people at a Metro station near the EU headquarters in Maelbeek area of central Brussels
  • Evacuated passengers are being ferried onto buses and are being driven to a 'crisis centre' away from the airport
  • Comes a day after Belgium minister warned of revenge attacks after arrest of Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam
Daily Mail UK, 22 March 2016





Brussels is under attack today after a series of bombings in the Belgian capital. At 8am local time there were two explosions close to the American Airlines check-in desk in the city's packed airport.

Local media are reporting that 13 may be dead and 50 injured (left) there and witnesses heard shouting in Arabic and gunfire before the 'shockwave' of two blasts, carried out by suicide bombers.

Firemen who entered the shattered building (inset) are said to have found a third unexploded device.

Pictures show the terminal windows blown out and roof tiles littering the floor after falling from the ceiling from the force of the explosions (right).

At 9.19am a new explosion was heard at Maelbeek Metro station in the centre of Brussels - and at least ten are believed to have been killed. Maelbeek is the gateway to the Eu Quarter of the city, which houses its main institutions.

The pavement outside is littered with injured commuters. Citizens are being warned to stay at home as the Belgian Government raised its security level to 'maximum' and sent soldiers onto the streets.

The city was already high alert following the capture last Friday of Paris massacre suspect Salah Abdeslam, the world's most-wanted man, in the Molenbeek neighbourhood of the city, known as Europe's cradle of terrorism.


At least 28 people have been killed and dozens injured in Brussels after a series of terror attacks struck the city's airport and a metro station near the EU headquarters.

Witnesses described apocalyptic scenes with blood and 'dismembered bodies everywhere'


The explosions come just a day after the Belgium Interior Minister warned of possible revenge attacks after the arrest of Paris massacre suspect Salah Abdeslam in the city on Friday.

At the airport, shouts in Arabic were heard before the explosions which sent shockwaves through the terminal building, shattering windows, knocking roof tiles off the ceiling and sending terrified passengers running for their lives.

Samir Derrouich, who works at a restaurant in the airport, told MailOnline: 'The two explosions were almost simultaneous.
'They were both at check-in desk. One was close to the Starbucks. It was awful. There was just blood. It was like the apocalypse.'


Scroll down for video






FIRST ATTACK: At least 15 people have died and dozens injured after two explosions rocked Brussels Airport in a terror attack this morning





Shocking: Injured passengers are covered in blood and dust after the explosions rocked the terminal building at Brussels Airport





SECOND ATTACK: The image above is being used by the Belgian media who claim this is the damage caused by the bomb at the Maelbeek Metro station in central Brussels 79 minutes after the first attack. It has not been verified but is being widely circulated on social media





Aftermath: A man lies stricken on the pavement as survivors kiss in relief after surviving the bombing at the Metro station in Maelbeek


Photographs from inside the arrivals hall showed the floor covered in fallen tiles and dust as bloodied people hobbled out of the airport. Others injured were photographed lying on the floor.

Video showed terrified passengers running for their lives out of the building.

Firefighters who entered the terminal to search for survivors are said to have found a third unexploded device, while armed police in protective clothing combed the building for more wounded travellers and suspicious bags.

Dries Valaert, 30, was waiting to get his boarding pass from a check in desk when the blast struck.

He told MailOnline: 'There was a first blast and then ten seconds later a second explosion. It was a big, big blast, the ceiling went down. It was just 30 metres from where I was.
'I saw people down on the ground and I just went running. I jumped over the security fences towards the departure gates as I thought it would be safer.

'My first intuition was to get out in case their were attackers with guns. I saw a woman around 18 years old with a hole in her hand with blood pouring out and a man with an injured ankle and two people down. There was lots of panic. People were running all over the place.'

Mr Valaert, who was flying to a business meeting in Berlin, said he believed the bombs were hidden in suitcases that had just been checked in.


He said: 'The explosions were just behind the service desks, they were blown towards us. To me it is the most realistic possibility. I don't think it was someone with a suicide vest.'

Alphonse Youla, who was working on a stand putting security wrapping around suitcases, said: 'I heard a man shout some Arabic words then an explosion... then a second explosion, a massive explosion, much bigger.'

Speaking with blood on his hands and struggling to hold back tears, he added: 'It was a horror. I saw at least seven people dead. There was blood. People had lost legs. You could see there bodies but no legs.'

He added: 'I saw two men face down with blood pouring out of their heads. The injuries were so awful. You cannot imagine. People were so injured.

'I did not see the man who shouted in Arabic as he was behind me. I just heard the words. I don't speak Arabic so I don't know what he said.'

In the aftermath, thousands of people waiting for flights this morning were penned inside the terminal as police sealed off the shattered arrivals hall.

People already checked in were then slowly evacuated through emergency exits – but were told to leave all their hand luggage as police checked bags for more explosives.

Evacuated passengers are being ferried onto buses and are being driven to a 'crisis centre' away from the airport, with women and children being moved first.

All flights are being diverted from the airport this morning as it remains on lockdown.





Bravery: People are treated, comforted and given water by the emergency services as they help the wounded





Second attack: A person lies injured on the floor after an explosion was heard at the Metro station in the centre of Brussels





Rescue effort: A Maelbeek victim is carried on to a stretcher as Brussels is hit by a string of bombings





Evacuation: Those on the tube network were evacuated from smoke-filled tunnels and walked along the tracks to the nearest station









Panic: Commuters in the Metro described a bang, and a rush of air that made their ears pop before they tore open the train doors and walked down the track to the closest station





Second attack: Around 90 minutes after the airport blasts, there were reports of an explosion at a station (pictured) in the centre of the city





Lockdown: Rue de la Loi, which runs outside the station, is sealed off by police and emergency services in the wake of the 9.19am attack




.

Flights due to land at Brussels-Zaventem, which handles 21million passengers a year, were sent to Antwerp, Liege, and Brussels Charleroi airports.

Europe's biggest airports are all increasing their security today. Heathrow confirmed it had stepped up its own 'visible' security in the wake of the attacks – with large units of armed police patrolling the airport this morning.

Terrorists then blew up a crowded Metro station in the city centre at around 9.19am, killing at least 10 people and seriously injuring dozens more.

Shocking images from Maelbeek station show smoke pouring out of the building and casualties littered on the pavement outside, just 400metres from the EU's headquarters.

Commuters on the Metro at the time described hearing a loud bang before they were evacuated from trains and forced to walk down smoke-filled tunnels and along the track to the closest safe station.

Emergency services at the scene were carrying the dead and injured out of the station on stretchers.

Alexandre Brans, 32, who was wiping blood from his face, said: 'The metro was leaving Maelbeek station when there was a really loud explosion. It was panic everywhere. There were a lot of people in the metro.'





Stunned: Staff walk away from Brussels airport after explosions rocked the building in Brussels





Air stewardesses look shocked as they flee the terminal building in the wake of the suspected suicide bombing


Brussels resident Shigeo Sugimoto said he was one stop away from where the metro was hit and heard people shouting.

He wrote on Facebook: 'I am fine !! But I was in the metro when suddenly some one start shouting explosions!!! Evacuation!!!
'Ouch!!! I was just one station ahead before when explosion happened!!!!!!!!'

He posted pictures showing cars and people standing in the road and wrote: 'Maerbeek (sic) now apocalypse!!!'

Mr Sugimoto said he saw a man with blood on his face in the vicinity of Maelbeek station in the EU quarter, near the European Commission's main building.

He was at Arts-Loi station, one ahead of Maelbeek, and told the Press Association: 'On the ground, there were already people walking every direction to distance (themselves) from metro and the Belgian army were there trying to make people calm.

'I saw a guy, blood over his face, dragged by another person. Then police start blocking the street and I could only see ambulances go and come.'

Evan Lamos was among the thousands of commuters on tube trains this morning when the network was attacked.
He was on two stops away from Maelbeek and the passengers on his train were evacuated from the carriages into a smoke-filled tunnel and then walked along the tracks to the exit at the nearest station.

He said: 'There was a dull thud. We felt a blast of air and my ears popped shortly afterwards. The Metro stopped immediately'.

The Belgian Interior Minister has raised the country's security level to 'maximum' this morning as it prepares itself for more terror attacks in the wake of the airport bombings.

British Prime Minister David Cameron offered his support to victims and called a COBRA emergency committee meeting to address the events in Brussels.

He tweeted: 'I am shocked and concerned by the events in Brussels. We will do everything we can to help.
'I will be chairing a COBRA meeting on the events in Brussels later this morning.'

The explosions came as the Belgian capital was on a state of high alert following the arrest of Paris terror attack suspect Salah Abdeslam in the city last week.

Belgium's Interior Minister, Jan Jambon, said the country was on high alert for a possible revenge attack following the capture of 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam in a flat in Brussels on Friday.

'We know that stopping one cell can... push others into action. We are aware of it in this case,' he told public radio.

France is seeking Abdeslam's extradition so he can stand trial for his alleged role in the November 13 rampage of gunfire and suicide bombings that killed 130 people in Paris.

Belgium is under great tension, with its federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw saying yesterday that last year the country worked on 315 new anti-terror cases and nearly 60 so far this year.

Update re: VIDEOs > ISIS Threatens UK After Brussels Attacks

ISIS Threatens UK with 'Harder and More Bitter' Attacks than Brussels as Armed Police Take to Britain's Streets After Terror Group Claims Responsibility for Bombings

Islamic State have claimed responsibility for the Brussels bombings today

Terrorist group described how its 'soldiers' carried out the attacks

At least 34 people have been killed and many more have been left injured

It is has now threatened to hit the UK with a 'harder and more bitter' attack

Britain has ramped up security across the country with armed officers



Martin Robinson, UK Chief Reporter For Mailonline, 22 March 2016



ISIS has threatened to hit the UK 'harder and more bitter attacks' after claiming responsibility for the Brussels bombings today.


Britain has ramped up security with armed officers taking to the streets near major landmarks, train stations and airports.

The heightened police presence comes after at least 34 people were killed and many more left injured in a series of bomb attacks inside an airport terminal and Metro station in the Belgian capital.

The explosions come just a day after the Belgium Interior Minister warned of possible revenge attacks after the arrest of Paris massacre suspect Salah Abdeslam in the city last week.





Pictured are the chaotic scenes at Brussels Airport after two explosions inside the terminal earlier today

And through the terrorist group's official Telegram account, a statement read:


'We promise to the states that are allied against the Islamic State that they will face dark days in return for their aggression against our state.

'And what will await you will become harder and more bitter through the grace of Allah.

'In praise of Allah who has made our blows precise and helped us succeed. we demand for him to accept our brothers among the martyrs.'


A major manhunt is underway for an ISIS suspect in a white coat and black hat who fled Brussels Airport after the two explosions ripped through the terminal in a suicide bomb attack this morning, killing 14 people and injuring dozens of others.

Police issued a wanted notice for the man who was seen on CCTV pushing a luggage trolley through the check-in area with two other suspects minutes before the blasts.
His alleged accomplices were wearing black gloves on their left hands, which security sources say would have hidden the triggers for their explosive vests.

The two men blew themselves up while the third suspect is believed to have left a nail bomb and fled, according to De Standaard.
It is not known if the fugitive then sped to Maelbeek station to carry out the blast that killed 20 people in a subway train just 79 minutes later.






First picture: These three men, pretending to be air passengers, are believed to the terrorists who have carried out the Brussels airport. The two suspected suicide bombers on the left were both wearing black gloves - which the Belgian media says would have hidden the triggers for their explosive vests. The third suspect in the hat is believed to still be on the run after dropping his nail bomb




Alphonse Youla, who was working on a stand at the airport putting security wrapping around suitcases, said: 'I heard a man shout some Arabic words then an explosion.. then a second explosion, a massive explosion, much bigger.

'It was a horror. I saw at least seven people dead. There was blood. People had lost legs. You could see their bodies but no legs.'

Belgian Prosecutor Eric van der Sypt confirmed two bombers died at Brussels airport and said a third is being 'actively' sought. Raids are currently being carried out across the country.

Anti-police terror police swooped on a number of suspects in the hours after the attacks as the Belgian Foreign Ministry said many of those behind the terror plot are 'still at large'.

At least two people in Brussels were arrested outside the city's North railway station, a mile from the Maelbeek subway.

A third suspect has been arrested on a train near Amsterdam and a suspect package at Gard du Nord in Paris delayed Eurostar services this afternoon.

Another man was also taken into custody at by armed police at Brussels South railway station near the suburb of Schaerbeek.

MailOnline revealed earlier today that security services already had CCTV of one of the Brussels airport bombers including the moment he detonated his suicide belt.

Drama: Two men were pinned to the ground by armed police and special forces as the hunt for members of the terror cell behind today's bombings in Brussels started





Interventions: The arrests came as the authorities start to round up any people deemed a risk to the public, including here at Brussels North station - a mile from the Maelbeek bombing







Across the border: A suspect with his hands up is arrested as he is taken off a train because of suspicious activity at Hoofddorp Station in Amsterdam

Arrow Right US Airmen Terror Attack in UK:IS Men Found Guilty

Jihadi Terrorist Hunted For Prostitutes on The Internet While Planning to Travel to Syria With Nephew Who Was Plotting Lee Rigby-Style Attack on US Soldier

  • Shazib Ahmed Khan viewed adult movies just after chatting to ISIS jihadis
  • He was convicted yesterday of preparing to travel to Syria to join ISIS
  • His uncle was convicted of the same offence and also plotting to kill US airman outside airbase in East Anglia UK
  • The pair filmed and posted a video called 'ISIS in Westminster' online

Daily Mail UK, 5 April 2016


A British jihadi terrorist browsed online for prostitutes and adult films while making plans to secretly travel to Syria with his nephew, who was plotting a Lee-Rigby style attack at an airbase in East Anglia.


Shazib Ahmed Khan, 23, viewed adult movies titled Killer Sex and Secrets of a Chambermaid just fifteen minutes after chatting about jihad with an ISIS fighter in Syria.

He is also understood to have accessed sites which advertised the services of prostitutes.

Within a few days after messaging the jihadi via an ecrypted app, Shazib Khan was arrested by counter-terrorism police. He was convicted yesterday of preparing to travel to Syria to join ISIS.

His delivery driver nephew Junead Khan, 25, was also found guilty of the same offence as well as plotting to behead a US serviceman in Britain.









Shazib Khan (top), has also been found guilty of planning to travel to Syria. His nephew Junead Khan, from Luton UK, was found guilty of the same offence and was also convicted of plotting to behead a US serviceman in Britain

Junead Khan, from Luton UK, was convicted of plotting to carry out the atrocity outside RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk, where US Air Force personnel are stationed.


His trial revealed that he had also posted a video on Youtube called 'ISIS drives around Westminster', which featured music praising ISIS.

The video was made by Shazib and featured an extremist chant praising Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS.

The investigation into the pair also uncovered a worrying message which suggests ISIS fighters in Syria have obtained the UK addresses of British servicemen.

The pair filmed a video of Parliament and posted it on YouTube with the title 'ISIS drives around Westminster'


Schizophrenic Khan, 25, got the idea for the attack on an American airman after driving past RAF Mildenhall as he delivered goods to a Lloyds pharmacy.

Khan wanted to a buy a knife similar to that used by Jihadi John and an ISIS flag was found at his home, which it is believed he wanted to unfurl at the scene.

Khan was found guilty of preparing for an act of terrorism in the UK between May and July 2015 after a trial at Kingston Crown Court in London.
He was also convicted alongside his uncle, Shazib, 23, of preparing to go to Syria to join IS.
Both men had denied engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts between August 1 2014 and July 15 2015.

They showed no emotion as the jury returned its verdicts after deliberating for almost 24 hours following a six-and-a-half week trial.

The 'ISIS in Westminster' footage was filmed before September last year, and Shazib sent the footage to Khan on September 24.

The soundtrack had a man singing: 'Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the dread of our enemies, maids of paradise are calling, record me for my martyrdom, our swords are flashing, our tones are artillery.'





Junead Khan had looked into buying a hunting knife like this one because he wanted to look like Jihadi John





An ISIS flag was found at his home. It is believed he planned to unfurl it at the scene of his atrocity


After he was sent the video, Khan complained: 'U messed up. Should've held the phone sideways. I'm uploading it anyway. Going live right now lol.'

He later sent a link to the video on Youtube, adding: 'Don't mention it's recorded by us.'
'Lol, looks good,' Shazib replied.

But 12 days later, Junead took the video down, telling his uncle: 'I've taken that video off Youtube lol. Didn't wanna bait my life out jus in case.'

Shazib later admitted making the video while Junead was driving, explaining in court:

'We would meet up two or three times a week. Every time we would meet up, we would go cruising, that's the only thing we knew how to do.
'We would get food on Edgware Road and go to that mosque, Regents Park, get take away, we could eat there quietly, away from the traffic.








Khan, with an ISIS flag) plotted the attack with Junaid Hussain (left), an British ISIS recruit in Syria.





A photo found on Khan's phone showed Downing Street with Islamic flags superimposed outside


Shazib said of the video in court: 'There was no particular reason behind it… We were messing around.'

The plot of which Khan was convicted was to emulate the killing of Lee Rigby. Khan was researching hunting knives of the type used by ISIS executioner Jihadi John.

He was directed by Junaid Hussain, a computer hacker from Birmingham UK who became one of ISIS's chief recruiters before he was killed by a US drone.

POLICE TRAWLED THROUGH 66,000 MESSAGES IN TERROR PROBE

Scotland Yard said its SO15 counter-terrorism unit had trawled through around 66,000 texts, social media messages and emails after arresting the men.

Among the material they shared was graphic jihadi propaganda material showing executions. They also compiled a list of equipment they would need in Syria.

Commander Dean Haydon, the head of SO15, said:

'Junead Khan faces years in prison for the atrocious acts he planned.
'Around a year before his arrest, local officers reached out to him. They offered to help him follow a positive life path. Junead Khan's refusal spiralled into extremism and plotting acts of terrorism.

'Counter-terrorism officers will take every step to stop and prosecute those who plan such acts of terrorism in the UK to keep the public safe.'

Khan had refused to engage with the Prevent counter-extremism programme and was investigated because he was attending radical talks in Luton.

He delivered medical supplies to Boots, Superdrug, Morrisons Supermarket and Co-Op along with hospitals and surgeries on behalf of Alliance Healthcare. He worked for a firm called TRG Logistics, which was based in Luton.

His routes took him to East Anglia and to two Lloyd's pharmacies in the village of Mildenhall, Suffolk, close to two US airbases.
RAF Mildenhall and neighbouring RAF Lakenheath were re-opened after the second World War to host B-29 Superfortresses and have hosted US airmen ever since.

Lakenheath is currently home to the 48th 'Liberty' Fighter Wing and Mildenhall to the 100th Air Refueling Wing.

On July 5 2015, Khan wrote to Junaid Hussain on an encrypted app: 'When I saw these US soldiers on road, it just looked simple, but I had nothing on me or wouldve got into an accident with them and made them get out the car.'
'That's what the brother done with Lee Rigby,' Hussain said.

'Yes brother Mujahid style, accident and then attack,' Khan agreed, referring to Michael Adebolajo, one of the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich.

Hussain suggested it was 'best to have at least pipe bombs or pressure cooker bomb in a backpack incase something happens, so u can do isthishadi bomb [suicide bomb] incase they try to arrest u.'





Khan got the idea of the attack after seeing US servicemen as he drove past RAF Mildenhall as part of his job

In one worrying message, Hussain told Khan: 'I can get you addresses of British soldiers.' The message suggests the ISIS fighter, who spent his time hacking computers from Syria, had obtained the personal details of British servicemen.

After Khan attempted to buy a knife online, two flags, the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes were stolen from outside the New York Diner in Luton.

When Khan was arrested on July 14, he shouted, kicked out at the arresting officers, and yelled 'cowards' and 'Allahu akbar' [god is great].

The US and British flags were later found in Khan's bedroom along with an Islamic flag in the loft and a balaclava in the kitchen which had crudely cut eyeholes.

When police examined Khan's mobile phone, they discovered it contained photos including one of his ISIS flag being waved outside the US Embassy in London.

He also had another mobile phone which included gruesome images of beheadings, beatings and dead bodies, as well as Mohammed Emwazi, the British ISIS executioner known as Jihadi John.


Quote:
ONLINE TERROR SCHEME: HOW THEY PLOTTED ON SECRET MESSAGE APP

Junead Khan used an encrypted internet message service called Surespot to swap messages with Junaid Hussain in July last year. Here is part of the conversation:

Hussain: 'I can get you addresses of British soldiers.'
Khan: 'That could also be possible inshallah.'
Hussain: 'Inshallah, but most soldiers live in bases which are protected. Hmm, I suppose on the road is the best idea, or I can tell u how to make a bomb
Khan: 'When I saw these US soldiers on road, it just looked simple, but I had nothing on me or [I] would've got into an accident with them and made them get out of the car.'
Hussain: 'That's what the brother done with Lee Rigby - with basic ingredients, and not too hard to make inshallah.'
Khan: 'I have pictures and basic instructions on pipe bombs, but send them to me again if they are clearer.'
Hussain: 'I have a manual for pressure cooker bomb.'
Khan: 'Yes brother Mujahid (jihad) style, accident and then attack.'
Hussain: 'It's best to have at least pipe bombs or pressure cooker bomb in a backpack in case something happens. So you can do isthishadi (suicide) bomb in case they try to arrest you.




Police found a British and US flag at Khan's home, which it is believed he planned to burn at the scene





The flags were stolen from an American diner in Luton shortly before he was arrested



Superdrug employee Shazib was detained on the same day as Khan. Max Hill, QC, prosecuting, said: 'The fact that he [Shazib] did not actually go before being arrested last July makes no difference to this charge.

'However tempting it might be for some people to allow those who wish to leave the UK to do so, upon the basis that at least they would no longer be in the UK, that provides no solution to the terrorism perpetrated by the likes of ISIL.'

He claimed fascinated by the conflict, but had no intention of joining ISIS. He said he wanted to help by providing money and food.

Judge Mr Justice Edis remanded the men in custody ahead of sentencing on May 13.


Junead was found guilty of preparing to travel to Syria to fight with ISIS by a 10-2 majority verdict and of preparing to attack UK military personnel by a unanimous verdict. Shazib was convicted on unanimous verdicts.

HOW ISIS WAS TARGETING THE MENTALLY ILL AT THE TIME SCHIZOPHRENIC DELIVERY DRIVER AND HIS CONSPIRACY THEORIST UNCLE WERE RECRUITED

ISIS's communication with schizophrenic Junead Khan and his conspiracy theorist uncle Shazib came weeks after a top police chief warned that terrorists were targeting the mentally ill.

In April last year, Met Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, warned that Islamists were trying to add 'the vulnerable, people with violent backgrounds, very young people and those with mental health issues' to their network.

Less than a few months later, Junead Khan was swapping messages with ISIS's British recruiter-in-chief Junaid Hussain and discussing the plan to behead a US serviceman.








Nicky Reilly (top), who had a mental age of 10, and Brustholm Ziamani, who was targeted by extremists after being kicked out of his family home, have been involved in previous plots


Junead suffers from schizophrenia for which he is prescribed the drug Risperidone.
His mother was registered as his carer and he claimed Disability Living Allowance and Employment Support Allowance.

His uncle Shazib meanwhile told Kingston Crown Court the BBC and Sky were part of a 'Zionist conspiracy' along with Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury and Tesco.

The Free Masons and Illuminati – an anti-religious group from the 18th century said to be seeking world power – were also part of the plan to take over the world, he said.

Today's case follows that of London teenager Brustholm Ziamani, who was jailed last February for plotting a similar attack on a British soldier or policeman.


He fell under the spell of extremists after being made homeless in London.

In 2008, 22-year-old Nicky Reilly - who had a mental age of 10 - attempted to carry out a suicide bombing in Exeter after he was contacted by extremists online.

Terrorists joked about Government's anti-extremism programme after police went to their home and left a card
Two British jihadis were on the radar of the Government's anti-extremism programme a year before they were arrested - but joked about it.

Junead and Shazib Khan mocked the Prevent programme after a police officer visited Junead's Luton home in 2014, their trial heard.

The pair used the WhatsApp instant messenger to discuss a May 14 visit from Bedfordshire Police, in which an officer left a card asking for Junead to call him.

Junead wrote to Shazib: 'They trying to stop me from becoming a (sic) extremist or terrorist. Lool. Left a card. They want me to call them on Monday.' Shazib replied 'that crack me up'








Junead Khan, pictured with an ISIS flag, joked about the Government's anti-extremism programme. He and his uncle are believed to have daubed messages mocking democracy around Luton


Junead later wrote: 'I ain't gonna fone them like they want me to. I think they suspect I might be wanting to travel to Syria, even though I don't want to right now.'

Shazib replied: 'lool', slang for 'laughing outrageously out loud'.

Kingston Crown Court heard that Junead then spoke with an officer from Prevent almost a week later, on May 20.

Afterwards Shazib sent him a message saying: 'What's pigs saying?'

Junead replied: 'Police are sayin nothin jus came to my house today sat down for 20 minutes ask me some propa off key questions... Hopefully the last I hear from them.'

Prevent is one of four strands of Contest, the acronym given to the long-standing counter-terrorism strategy, and has previously been at the centre of controversy.





A photo which appears to show an ISIS flag being waved outside the US Embassy was found on his phone


At the beginning of March, David Anderson QC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said the programme was 'not transparent' and should be independently reviewed.

He said the programme had become a 'lightning conductor for a lot of dissatisfaction', saying: 'Nobody really knows what is going on under Prevent. There all sorts of myths swirling round about training materials being biased against Muslims, for example.'

Last year new measures were introduced to place a legal requirement on public bodies, including schools and councils, to stop people being drawn into terrorism, as part of efforts to counter the capacity of groups such as Islamic State (IS) to recruit young Britons.

Terrorists joked about Government's anti-extremism programme after police went to their home and left a card.

  • Gunman went on a shooting spree in a shopping centre near Olympic park
  • Area around the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre has been sealed off
  • The gunman has reportedly fled the scene via the underground network
Daily Mail UK, 22 July 2016





WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT:


Shots have been fired at a shopping centre in Munich this afternoon. A major police operation has begun in the German city, according to local media reports. People were seen running from the shopping mall to get away from the incident. The area around the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre in the district of Moosach has been sealed off as emergency services try to control the situation. One picture on social media shows a man lying on the ground with a blanket over him.


A major police operation is ongoing in Munich, around the city's Olympic Park, with the force warning people to stay in their homes.
People were seen running for their lives from the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre, in the district to get away from the incident after hearing gunshots.

A video purporting to show the shooter, dressed in black, firing 20 shots has been posted on Twitter. The video shows him outside a McDonald's directly outside the shopping centre.

The area around the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre in the district of Moosach has been sealed off as emergency services try to control the situation.

The shopping centre is next to the Munich Olympic Stadium, where the Palestinian militant group Black September took 11 Israeli athletes hostage and eventually killed them during the 1972 Olympic Games


A police spokesman said; 'It is really something big going down.'

The force in Munich posted on its website:

'At this time we have a major operation underway. Please avoid the area of the shopping centre.'

First reports said a heavily armed man wandered through the shopping centre opening fire at will.

It is reported that the gunman fled after his shooting spree on the city underground network.
Photos flashed on to social media sites of at least one body covered by aluminium sheets.

‘Stay in your homes. Leave the road!’ Polizei München said in a Tweet.

A spokesman for the German police said there was a 'shooting spree'.
An official at the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre declined comment, saying only, 'We are experiencing a problem.'

The shopping centre is next to the Munich Olympic stadium, where the Palestinian militant group Black September took 11 Israeli athletes hostage and eventually killed them during the 1972 Olympic Games.

Thamina Stoll, a university student in Munich, tweeted video of the scene showing people running.
'Helicopter, sirens and people on the street #Munich #shooting #OEZ #München,' she said.
'At least 30 police cars on their way to #Munich #shoppingmall according to local radio station. Area around mall blocked by police.'


German media reports suggest at least 15 people have been killed, but this is unconfirmed.
The shopping centre attack began inside a McDonald's restaurant shortly before 6pm local time, the police spokeswoman said.

"There are still people in the shopping centre. We are trying to get the people out and take care of them," she added.

An employee who is still inside the mall told Reuters by phone that many shots were fired - and that they saw someone who was "so severely injured that he definitely didn't survive".


The shooting comes just days after a teenage asylum seeker went on the rampage with an axe and a knife on a regional train in Germany, injuring five people.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the teenager was believed to be a "lone wolf" attacker who appeared to have been "inspired" by the Islamic State group but was not a member of the jihadist network.

It also follows a truck attack in the French Riviera city of Nice after Bastille Day fireworks last week that left 84 people dead.



UPDATE:

It has been confirmed that there has been a second shooting at the Stachus metro station in Munich city centre.

Al-Qaeda Leader Urges Jihadists to KIDNAP Westerners in Chilling Warning to the 'Enemies of Islam'

  • Ayman al-Zawahiri urged militants to take Western hostages and exchange them for jailed jihadists
  • He said kidnapping was a 'powerful weapon in the fight against the enemy'
  • Al-Zawahiri was named as the new leader of Al-Qaeda a few weeks after Osama Bin Laden's death

Daily Mail UK, 26 July 2016.


The leader of Al-Qaeda has called on jihadists to kidnap Westerners in a chilling warning to the 'enemies of Islam'.

In an audio interview Ayman al-Zawahiri urged militants to take Western hostages and exchange them for jailed jihadists 'until they liberate the last Muslim male prisoner and last Muslim female prisoner in the prisons of the Crusaders, apostates, and enemies of Islam'.

He added that kidnapping was a 'powerful weapon in the fight against the enemy'.



Al-Zawahiri, an eye surgeon, was named as the leader of Al-Qaeda in June 2011, a few weeks after Osama Bin Laden's death.

He is believed to be seeking refuge in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area that is the Taliban's base.





The leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, urged militants to take Western hostages and exchange them for jailed jihadists


Zawahiri was already the group's chief ideologue and was believed by some experts to have been the 'operational brains' behind the 9/11 attacks in the US.

Zawahiri was number two - behind only Bin Laden - in the 22 'most wanted terrorists' list announced by the US government in 2001 and continues to have a $25m (£16m) bounty on his head.

One of his wives and two of their children were killed in a US air strike in late 2001.





The terror chief's chilling warning came after two Middle Eastern men tried to grab a serviceman, aged in his 20s, while he was out jogging near RAF Marham in Norfolk UK last Thursday.



The main suspect, who grabbed the serviceman while he was out jogging, and attempted to pull him into a dark coloured people carrier, is thought to have suffered an injury during the incident after being challenged by the victim.

They were involved in a scuffle during which the victim head-butted his attacker before punching him, causing the suspect to fall to the floor.

It was at this point the second suspect, who was armed with a knife, went to the aid of his accomplice allowing the victim to run away and get help.
Police continued to carry out house to house enquiries at Marham over the weekend and review CCTV.

British Soldiers are Told to 'Scrub' Facebook Accounts of All Uniform Pictures and to Jog in Pairs For Fear of New Lee Rigby-Style ISIS Attacks


  • Worrying memo told 14,000 soldiers at bases in Wiltshire UK to 'stay vigilant'
  • Servicemen told to scrub their accounts to avoid attracting attention
  • Comes as two 'Middle Eastern' men tried to abduct serviceman in Norfolk UK
  • Man in late 20s was out jogging when they tried to bundle him into a van

British soldiers have been told to 'scrub' their social media accounts of uniform pictures and instructed to jog in pairs to avoid being targeted by jihadists.

A troubling memo ordering staff to 'remain vigilant' was sent to soldiers at bases in Bulford, Tidworth and Larkhill, Wiltshire, where 14,000 people are garrisoned.

It comes as two men, reportedly of a Middle-Eastern appearance, tried to abduct a serviceman in his late 20s near RAF Marham in Norfolk.

A memo, warned: 'All staff and their families should remain vigilant and report anything that is suspicious immediately.

'Personnel when running off camp should consider running in pairs.
'Personnel should consider scrubbing their social media pages to avoid drawing attention to themselves

On Wednesday a married serviceman was out running on Wednesday when he was grabbed by a man, who tried to drag him towards a nearby car.

Police appealed for pedestrians and motorists to help track down two 'Middle Eastern' men after the attempted knife-point abduction/kidnap.


The serviceman knocked the first attacker to the floor and an accomplice, carrying a knife, helped him up before both men fled.
The serviceman was said to have been left 'very, very shaken by his ordeal'.







It comes as two men, reportedly of a middle-Eastern appearance, tried to abduct a serviceman in his late 20s near RAF Marham in Norfolk (pictured, police at the scene)



Detective Superintendent Paul Durham said: 'While the victim only witnessed two attackers, there may have been more than two people in the vehicle and given the nature of the attack, it is likely they were part of a larger team.'

Police are urging anyone walking or driving along Squires Hill, near to Costcutters in Marham, around the time of the incident on Wednesday to come forward.

A witness told he believes he saw a people carrier similar to the one being hunted by police several days speeding away from the base days before the attempted abduction.

The man claimed men of a 'Middle Eastern' appearance and matching the police description were in the car, which almost crashed into him, three days before.

Police refused to comment on reports that they have the DNA of one of the attackers, after the jogger allegedly got their blood on his knuckle while fighting them off.

Update re: UK Military/Police HIGH Alert >Top Cop Warns of New Terror Atrocity 'When Not If'

UK Met Chief Warns New UK Terror Atrocity 'Is a Case of When Not If': Britain's Top Cop Warns 600 Extra Armed Police are 'Not Enough to Stop Attack'


Daily Mail UK, 31 July 2016






Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe is the Metropolitan Police Commissioner



We have all watched the recent terrorist atrocities unfold with a terrifying and depressing sense of horror and dread.
I know that with each new outrage, and especially those on our doorstep on the Continent, there is a greater sense of fear that Britain will be the next victim in this wave of mindless mass murder.

I feel and understand that fear, and as the police officer in charge of preventing such an attack, I know you want me to reassure you. I am afraid I cannot do that entirely. Our threat level has been at ‘Severe’ for two years. It remains there. It means an attack is highly likely – you could say it is a case of when, not if.

But where I can offer reassurance is in answering the other questions I know you so often ask – why and how has it not happened here yet? What are we doing to prevent it? How will the police protect me when it does?

What I can say is that we have not had a terrorist murder since the barbaric attack on Fusilier Lee Rigby on May 22, 2013, in Woolwich. I can point to the plots we have foiled and the potential terrorists we have put behind bars after we discovered their advanced plans to murder officers leaving Shepherd’s Bush police station to walk their beats.

Another plot involved a British-based terrorist planning to carry out a Lee Rigby-style attack on US soldiers based in East Anglia using a car and knives to murder the servicemen and potentially detonate a bomb. He was thwarted thanks to joint work by the police and MI5.

When I was a beat bobby in South Yorkshire, my starting point had to be that I wanted to stop the bad guys and the gangs before they bullied the families on my patch.


Now, like then, I don’t want to admit that any crime, let alone these kinds of terrorist atrocities, is likely to happen on our watch – but that is what the ‘Severe’ threat level means. However, there are lots of things working in our favour.

The relationship between MI5, MI6 and our police is a world-beater. It has given us an advantage in intelligence and ultimately foiling plots. My team at Scotland Yard co-ordinates the national police effort across the country, working with specialist hubs in other regions.

In short, we have a professional, joined-up, national network of intelligence-led investigations.


Our gun controls and the simple fact we are an island mean that terrorists in the UK would struggle to get the firearms required to repeat attacks similar to those we have seen on the Continent.



This gives a solid base as it means the UK environment is immediately hostile to the terrorist.


I would also add to this the British way of life and culture. First, the vast majority of our officers are unarmed – I believe this gives us a far healthier relationship with the people we police.

Our neighbourhood officers – the ones who know their local streets and names of many of the people in their communities – are our major weapon. They are our eyes and ears.

Second, it is our tolerance and acceptance. Our approach to Muslims is no different because these attacks purport to be committed in the name of Islam. We don’t stigmatise the millions of British Muslims whose values and faith completely reject the terrorists’ litany of hate.

We are a nation that accepts difference but builds communities with shared values. We should be proud of that – it is another reason why the UK is a hostile environment for those intent on terrorism.

It means the vigilance of our officers is backed-up by millions more eyes and ears. These are whole communities united in defeating terrorism.
But even with this solid foundation to prevent attack, I have renewed our focus on what we will do when terrorists breach these defences.

Within hours of the terrible events in Paris last November, I recognised that the attack we had witnessed just 200 miles from London required a huge response.
So we have increased the number of specially trained and equipped officers who would confront heavily armed terrorists.
Initially this was through longer shifts. Now, our resilience has increased as all Met officers who carry a gun have been trained to take the initiative in the face of a new terrorist threat.


Meanwhile, we are training hundreds of extra officers so they are ready to supplement our numbers during an attack similar to that seen in Paris. This increases armed officers by 600 to 2,800.
It also improves our firearms capacity significantly at a time of crisis. Although we can’t talk about the tactics of how many armed officers we have on the street at any one time, our capacity to confront the most terrible of threats is increasing threefold.

For the first time, our team of Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers, who train for the very worst attacks, are ready 24 hours a day. They have the advanced skills needed to tackle the toughest of challenges.
All of the UK’s armed officers are brave men and women who have volunteered to put themselves on this new and ever shifting front line.

We tell the public to ‘Run, Hide, Tell’. We ask these officers to run in the opposite direction to you. They are paid no more for this. They have families. They are as attached to living life as all of us, but they do this for you. They do this knowing that their split- second decisions will be scrutinised in investigations that can sometimes last many years. I’m sure they have your gratitude.

I realise that some of what I am telling you today is not reassuring. I hope that some of it is more so.
The threat we all face is very real. No one watching events on the Continent can think otherwise, but it is important we have a shared understanding of the work that goes on every day to stop attacks happening and to prepare for the time we are faced with this terrifying threat.


London is a vibrant city. I am especially proud to police it. It is a place the world wants to visit and invest in – and rightly so. Help us to keep it that way – be our eyes and ears against terror. But also enjoy the city. We should be positive and relish our freedoms.

Yes, these can feel like dark and desperate times. But defeating terrorism is as much about refusing to be afraid as anything else.

Refusing to change our beliefs, our values and our way of life. We will not become like them. We will not hate. We will not be cowed. And because of this they will never win.

Update re: PhOtOs>TERROR Attacks in EUROPE

Belgian Police Shoot Terror Suspect in The Leg After Two officers are Stabbed and Brussels Train Station is Evacuated in Bomb Scare

  • Belgian counter terrorist prosecutors investigating a stabbing incident
  • Two police officers were attacked on a busy main road in Schaerbeek
  • Man stabbed one of the officers in the stomach and the other in the neck
  • Belgian police said it had 'reason to believe this was a terrorist attack'
  • Brussels Nord Train Station, in north of the city, was later evacuated
BBC/Daily Mail UK, 5 October 2016


Two police officers were stabbed as one of Belgium's busiest train stations was evacuated due to a bomb scare.

The officers were attacked by an unnamed individual in a busy main road in Schaerbeek, known as a 'hotbed of jihadism'.

Police shot the suspect in the leg and arrested him.
Federal prosecutor's spokesman Eric Van Der Sypt said 'we have reason to believe it is terror-related.'





Belgian counter terrorist prosecutors were investigating a stabbing incident in Brussels today





Police and army personnel were stationed outside the station following a bomb alert

The prosecutor's office said the man stabbed one of the police officers in the stomach and the other in the neck.
Neither was seriously hurt.
The suspect then tried to run away but was spotted by another police patrol who shot him in the leg.


The suspect 'broke the nose' of one of the policemen in the struggle.
Schaerbeek has become synonymous with terrorism after a dilapidated 1960s flat in the neighbourhood was used by three jihadists as a bomb-making safehouse prior to the devastating airport and metro attacks on March 22.

Several terror suspects linked to the coordinated Paris attacks last November were also based in the district.



The attack came hours after commuters were ordered to leave Brussels Nord Train Station as it was swept for explosives.
Police searched the station, causing major delays, but found 'nothing untoward'.
The station was re-opened at around 3pm local time.





Commuters were forced to leave the station in the north of the city as officers investigated


Spokesman Frederic Sacre said:

'A message of an alleged bomb threat was sent to the police, all the people were evacuated from the station, the trains stopped.'

The same station was evacuated two days ago as officials investigated a suspect package found in a car parked outside.

Belgium has been on high alert after coordinated suicide bombings at Brussels airport and at Maalbeek metro train station, which left 35 dead and was the deadliest terrorist attack in the country's history.

Representatives from 70 countries and 25 international organisations are currently in Brussels for a major conference on Afghanistan.
US secretary of state, John Kerry and the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon are among those in attendance.

Update re: UK Military/Police HIGH Terror Alert >Extreme Surveillance Now UK Law

'Extreme Surveillance' Becomes UK Law

Investigatory Powers Act Legalises Range of Tools for Snooping and hacking by the Security Services


The Guardian UK, 20 November 2016


A bill giving the UK intelligence agencies and police the most sweeping surveillance powers in the western world has passed into law with barely a whimper, meeting only token resistance over the past 12 months from inside parliament and barely any from outside.

The Investigatory Powers Act, passed on Thursday, legalises a whole range of tools for snooping and hacking by the security services unmatched by any other country in western Europe or even the US.


The security agencies and police began the year braced for at least some opposition, rehearsing arguments for the debate. In the end, faced with public apathy and an opposition in disarray, the government did not have to make a single substantial concession to the privacy lobby.


US whistleblower Edward Snowden tweeted: “The UK has just legalised the most extreme surveillance in the history of western democracy. It goes further than many autocracies.”

Snowden in 2013 revealed the scale of mass surveillance – or bulk data collection as the security agencies prefer to describe it – by the US National Security Agency and the UK’s GCHQ, which work in tandem.


But, against a backdrop of fears of Islamist attacks, the privacy lobby has failed to make much headway. Even in Germany, with East Germany’s history of mass surveillance by the Stasi and where Snowden’s revelations produced the most outcry, the Bundestag recently passed legislation giving the intelligence agencies more surveillance powers.

The US passed a modest bill last year curtailing bulk phone data collection but the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election is potentially a major reverse for privacy advocates. On the campaign trail, Trump made comments that implied he would like to use the powers of the surveillance agencies against political opponents.

The Liberal Democrat peer Lord Strasburger, one of the leading voices against the investigatory powers bill, said: “We do have to worry about a UK Donald Trump. If we do end up with one, and that is not impossible, we have created the tools for repression. If Labour had backed us up, we could have made the bill better. We have ended up with a bad bill because they were all over the place.

“The real Donald Trump has access to all the data that the British spooks are gathering and we should be worried about that.”

The Investigatory Powers Act legalises powers that the security agencies and police had been using for years without making this clear to either the public or parliament. In October, the investigatory powers tribunal, the only court that hears complaints against MI6, MI5 and GCHQ, ruled that they had been unlawfully collecting massive volumes of confidential personal data without proper oversight for 17 years.

One of the negative aspects of the legislation is that it fails to provide adequate protection for journalists’ sources, which could discourage whistleblowing.

One of the few positives in the legislation is that it sets out clearly for the first time the surveillance powers available to the intelligence services and the police. It legalises hacking by the security agencies into computers and mobile phones and allows them access to masses of stored personal data, even if the person under scrutiny is not suspected of any wrongdoing.

Privacy groups are challenging the surveillance powers in the European court of human rights and elsewhere.

Jim Killock, the executive director of Open Rights Group, said: “The UK now has a surveillance law that is more suited to a dictatorship than a democracy. The state has unprecedented powers to monitor and analyse UK citizens’ communications regardless of whether we are suspected of any criminal activity.”

Renate Samson, the chief executive of Big Brother Watch, said: “The passing of the investigatory powers bill has fundamentally changed the face of surveillance in this country. None of us online are now guaranteed the right to communicate privately and, most importantly, securely.”

Trump’s victory started speculation that, given his warm words for Vladimir Putin, he might do a deal with the Russian president to have Snowden sent back to the US where he faces a long jail sentence. Snowden has lived in Russia since leaking tens of thousands of documents to journalists in 2013.

But Bill Binney, a former member of the NSA who became a whistleblower, expressed scepticism: “I am not sure if the relationship a President Trump would have with President Putin would be bad for Snowden.

“In Russia, he would still be an asset that maybe Putin would use in bargaining with Trump. Otherwise, Snowden does have a large support network around the world plus in the US and Trump may not want to disturb that. Also, I think any move to get Snowden out of Russia and into US courts would also open up support for at least three other lawsuits against the US government’s unconstitutional surveillance.”

Daily Mail UK, 7 January 2017





Police are investigating whether the lone shooter who opened fire at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport in Florida was mentally disturbed after he executed five people


Police are investigating whether the lone shooter who opened fire at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport in Florida was mentally disturbed or if he had any links to ISIS after he executed five people in the baggage claim hall with a gun he had checked in his luggage.

Gunman Esteban Santiago - an Iraq war veteran - opened fire in the lower level baggage claim area in Terminal 2 on Friday about 1pm. He was taken into custody after he threw his empty weapon down and lay spread-eagle on the ground, one witness said.

Santiago flew into the airport from Anchorage, Alaska (with a layover in Minneapolis, St. Paul) on Delta flight 2182 with a firearm as his only piece of checked luggage. The 26-year-old, who was dressed in a Star Wars t-shirt, claimed his bag, went to the bathroom to load his handgun and then started shooting people dead.

Terry Andres, of Virginia, and Olga Woltering, of Georgia, were among those who were killed.
Mr Andres, a 62-year-old grandfather, was at the airport with his wife to go on a vacation, while Mrs Woltering was scheduled to leave on a cruise from Florida on Saturday with her husband Ralph to celebrate his 90th birthday.
Law enforcement are now investigating why Santiago was in Florida as they try to determine a motive for the shooting spree. FBI officials said late Friday they had not ruled out terrorism and were investigating all angles.









Esteban Santiago, 26 (pictured giving a one-fingered salute similar to ISIS jihadists), has been identified as the gunman in the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood airport shooting. He is said to have a girlfriend and child back in Alaska





Santiago served in Iraq in 2010 as a private first class and combat engineer. He received half a dozen medals before receiving a general discharge for unsatisfactory performance in August last year



Santiago's relatives said the 26-year-old had a history of mental health issues - some of which followed his military service in Iraq several years ago.

Named Victims So Far

A 62-year-old man and a great grandmother were among the victims of the deadly Ft. Lauderdale airport shooting in Florida.
Terry Andres, of Virginia, and Olga Woltering, of Georgia, were among the five shot dead by 26-year-old gunman Esteban Santiago as passengers collected their baggage in the terminal on Friday.
Mr Andres was on vacation with his wife when he was killed.
Olga Woltering, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, was scheduled to leave on a cruise from Florida on Saturday with her husband Ralph to celebrate his 90th birthday.

Authorities said Santiago walked into an FBI office in Anchorage in November last year claiming the government was trying to control his mind and he was being forced to watch ISIS videos, CBS reports. After that incident, Santiago started getting treatment for his mental health issues.
He was previously pictured giving a one-fingered salute, which is commonly used by Islamic State jihadists often before they embark on a suicide bombing.

Santiago was also contacted by the FBI after an employer back in Alaska raised concerns about certain things he had said, according to ABC News
Santiago served from 2007 to 2016 in the Puerto Rico National Guard and Alaska National Guard including a deployment to Iraq from 2010 to 2011.
A private first class and combat engineer, he received half a dozen medals before receiving a general discharge for unsatisfactory performance in August last year.

His aunt Maria Ruiz said that Santiago had returned from Iraq acting strangely but had seemed happy after the birth of his child in September last year.
But she said something happened to him about a month ago and he was hospitalized for two weeks. She did not have details of his condition.
'Like a month ago, it was like he lost his mind. He said he saw things,' she said.
Santiago's brother Bryan Santiago said he could have suffered a 'flashback' from his time in Iraq, despite never being diagnosed with PTSD

Gunman 'Lost His Head' After Iraq tour, Say His Family





Santaigo's aunt Maria Ruiz, who lives in New Jersey, said that Santiago had returned from Iraq acting strangely but had seemed happy after the birth of his child last year


The gunman behind the deadly shooting at Florida's Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport is an Iraq war veteran who had recently become a father and was suffering mental health issues, according to his family.
Esteban Santiago, 26, left five people dead and eight wounded when he opened fire in the airport's baggage claim terminal on Friday.

His family have said Santiago was struggling with psychiatric problems in the lead up to the shooting and had recently been hospitalized for treatment in Anchorage, Alaska.

Santiago had also been charged with domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend in January 2016
He allegedly verbally abused her in their apartment in Anchorage, Alaska while she was locked in the bathroom. Santiago is accused of then breaking down the door and hitting the woman in the head and strangling her.
Santiago was arrested days later after fleeing the scene but was released on the condition he stayed away from the victim. He was charged with violating the conditions in February 2016 after police found him at his girlfriend's home. The assault case was resolved in March.

His brother Bryan Santiago, who lives in Puerto Rico, said his family got a call in recent months from Santiago's girlfriend alerting them to his health situation.
He said he didn't know what his brother was being treated for and that they never talked about it over the phone.

The incident that sparked his hospitalization occurred in November when Santiago walked into an FBI office in Anchorage claiming the government was controlling his mind and forcing him to watch videos for ISIS, CBS reports.
A law enforcement official said the FBI interviewed him and then called the police, who took him for a mental health evaluation. The FBI said Santiago stated he did not want to harm anyone, but authorities were concerned by his erratic behavior. They said they closed their assessment of him once he was admitted for treatment.

He was also contacted by the FBI after an employer back in Alaska raised concerns about certain things he had said, according to ABC News.
Santiago was born in New Jersey but moved to the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico when he was two years old with his mother and brother.





He grew up in the southern coastal town of Penuelas before serving with the Puerto Rico National Guard from 2007. He eventually joined the Alaska National guard from 2014 to 2016.


Santiago was deployed to Iraq in 2010 and spent a year there with the 130th Engineer Battalion.
A private first class and combat engineer, he received half a dozen medals before receiving a general discharge for unsatisfactory performance in August last year.

He had been living in Anchorage, Alaska with his girlfriend for two years before they welcomed a child in September last year.

His aunt Maria Ruiz told NorthJersey.com that Santiago had returned from Iraq acting strangely but had seemed happy after the birth of his child.
But she said something happened to him about a month ago and he was hospitalized for two weeks. She did not have details of his condition.
'Like a month ago, it was like he lost his mind. He said he saw things,' she said.

His uncle, Hernan Rivera, said: 'Only thing I could tell you was when he came out of Iraq, he wasn't feeling too good.'

Santiago's brother Bryan Santiago speculated about a motive for the shooting, saying he could have suffered a 'flashback' from his time in Iraq, despite never being diagnosed with PTSD, NBC reports.
He said had recently been fighting with people back in Alaska, including his girlfriend who he was having relationship issues with.
He said Santiago, who was 'was pro-America', has not spoken to his family for several weeks, which was unusual.

The motive for the shooting is still not known, but Florida Senator Marco Rubio told CNN that Santiago may have gotten into an altercation on his flight earlier that morning.

'I know that was mentioned as a potential cause and they wanted to kind of look into that a little further and get to that point,' Rubio said.
Santiago's brother said he had been fighting with people back in Alaska, including his girlfriend who he was having relationship issues with.
He said Santiago, who was 'was pro-America', has not spoken to his family for several weeks.
'We have not talked for the past three weeks,' Bryan told the Associated Press. 'That's a bit unusual... I'm in shock. He was a serious person... He was a normal person.'

The gunman was born in New Jersey but moved to Puerto Rico where his mother and brother still live. He came back to Puerto Rico after serving in Iraq, before moving to Alaska. He lived there from 2014 to 2016 and his girlfriend and child are still there. His most recent address was in Naples, Florida.
Other details about the shooter reveal he had a minor criminal record for traffic violations, according to court records. He was also evicted by his landlord for failing to pay rent in February 2015.

Santiago was charged with fourth-degree assault and damage of property in January 2016, stemming from a domestic violence incident.
In March, Santiago settled the charges by agreeing to complete unknown requirements demanded by prosecutors in exchange for dismissing the case.

HOW CAN YOU CARRY A GUN IN LUGGAGE?

It is legal for unloaded firearms to be transported, according to rules set out by the Transportation Security Administration.
Unloaded firearms must be locked in a hard-sided container in checked baggage only.
The firearm and ammunition must be declared to the airline at the baggage counter.
Locked cases that can be easily opened are not permitted.
*Source: Transportation Security Administration

About 90 minutes after the shooting in the airport on Friday, chaos broke out again when police officers were seen rushing into the parking garage with their guns drawn while bystanders sought shelter behind vehicles.
But the Broward County Sheriff said the only shooting that happened was in Terminal 2 and that he believes only the one gunman was involved.

A witness said that the shooter was silent and didn't appear to be targeting anyone in particular - 'popping off bullets at random'.
John Schlicher, who told MSNBC he saw the attack, said the shooter was 'directly firing at us' while passengers waited for their bags to come off the carousel

In another interview with Fox News, Schlicher said that the shooter was aiming at people's heads.
'All the people seemed to be shot in the head,' Schlicher said. 'He was shooting people who were down on the ground too.'
The shooter reloaded once for a second burst of shooting, Schlicher said, but he could not say how many bullets were fired.

TIMELINE OF THE SHOOTING

12:57pm - Reports of the shooting emerged. Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said: 'everyone is running'
1:16pm - Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport released a statement confirming there was an 'ongoing incident' at the baggage claim in Terminal 2
1:37pm - Pictures and videos emerged of passengers being evacuated out onto the tarmac
1:50pm - Officials said all services at the airport had been temporarily suspended
2:33pm - TSA issued a second warning. 'Update: Active shooter. Shelter in place.' There were reports of an incident in Terminal 1, where a pilot said they smelled gun powder
2:37pm - Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca said the shooter had landed at the airport on an international flight and collected the gun - which he had checked into his luggage. He then, according to LaMarca, walked into the bathroom, loaded his weapon, then walked back out into the baggage claim and opened fire.
3:33pm - Broward Sheriff Scott Israel said only one person had been arrested in the shooting.


Mark Lea, a 53-year-old financial adviser from Minneapolis, says he was in baggage claim when the shooting started.
'I was dodging bullets and trying to help people get out of the way,' Lea said.
'At first we thought it was firecrackers,' he said. 'Everyone started screaming and running. The shooter made his way down through baggage claim. He had what looked like a 9mm and emptied his entire clip. People were trying to run.'
Ari Fleischer, a former White House spokesman who was at the scene, tweeted: 'I'm at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport. Shots have been fired. Everyone is running.'
Cellphone video footage broadcast by local Fox television affiliate Channel 7 showed one person lying bloodied on the floor, and several others on their knees.
A passenger named as Peter Cruise said he believed that travelers on his plane were among the victims.
He said he and his family 'were walking up the ramp and just passed the checking gate when all a sudden everybody started running.'
'I grabbed the kids and took off running down the ramp. Told the flight attendant to let us off the tarmac, we ran to hide behind some luggage carts.'
Video from the airport Friday afternoon showed hundreds of passengers corralled together on the tarmac with emergency vehicles parked outside the terminal with lights flashing.
Governor Rick Scott rushed to the airport to be briefed on the shooting, as dozens of police and emergency vehicles converged on the scene.
President-elect Donald Trump said he had spoken with Scott, and was 'monitoring the terrible situation in Florida.'
'Thoughts and prayers for all. Stay safe!' he tweeted.
President Barack Obama has also been briefed on the developing situation.
He told ABC News on Friday night that he was 'heartbroken' for the families affected.
'These kinds of tragedies have happened too often during the eight years I have been president. The pain, the grief, the shock that they must be going through is enormous,' he said.
The Florida attack was the latest in a series of mass shootings that have plagued the United States in recent years, some inspired by militants with an extreme view of Islam, others who are loners or mentally disturbed who have easy access to weapons under U.S. gun laws.
Jesse Davis, chief of police at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, said Santiago didn't call attention to himself and 'as far as we can tell' traveled alone from Alaska to Florida.
He said that a firearm was his only piece of checked luggage.
Authorities are trying to track Santiago's movements through Alaska's largest commercial airport using video footage.
Davis noted that it's not usual for travelers at the Alaska airport to check firearms because many people hunt.

The One-Fingered ISIS Salute Adopted by The Gunman















A photo of Florida airport gunman Esteban Santiago appears to show him making a jihadist one-fingered salute while wearing a Mid-Eastern keffiyeh sometime prior to him carrying out the shooting massacre.


The 26-year-old Iraq war veteran was pictured in the photo gesturing with his index finger in a pose that has become notorious among supporters of the Islamic State.

Law enforcement officers are currently looking at whether Santiago had any links to ISIS or if he was mentally disturbed as part of their investigation into the deaths of five people in the baggage claim hall at Ft. Lauderdale airport on Friday.

FBI officials said late on Friday night they had not ruled out terrorism and were investigating all angles as they try to determine a motive for the shooting spree.

It was not immediately clear where or when the photo of Santiago was taken in which he appears to be making the jihadist salute.
The traditional Islamic gesture - which refers to the tawhid or 'the belief in the oneness of God' - has been widely adopted by Islamic State supporters (above).

Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev posed in a similar stance in front of an Islamic flag in his bedroom.

'My Laptop Saved My Life', Claims Passenger





A man's laptop remarkably saved him from being struck by a bullet in the deadly shooting at Florida's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport.
Steve Frappier was in the baggage claim area of the airport's terminal when gunman Esteban Santiago opened fire on Friday, killing five and injuring eight.


Mr Frappier told CNN that his laptop, which was in the bag he was carrying on his back, managed to deflect a bullet.
'The backpack saved my life,' he said.

When he dropped to the floor after hearing gunfire, Mr Frappier said his backpack remained on his back.
'I was on the ground like a tortoise with the backpack,' he said.
He said the shooter shot in his direction and he felt something hit his back, but he just assumed it was pieces of nearby luggage given he was not injured.
'It was only later when I went to the bathroom to check myself out that (I found) the bullet had entered my backpack, hit my laptop,' he said.
'Later when I gave my bag to the FBI for investigation, they found the bullet in the pocket of my backpack.'

Mr Frappier took a photo of where the bullet struck his laptop.
He was one of the many inside Terminal 2 of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport when the 26-year-old Iraq war veteran started randomly shooting people with his handgun.

Daily Mail UK, 8 April 2017



Vladimir Putin has diverted a warship to protect the Syrian coast and vowed to bolster Bashar al-Assad's missile defences against further US strikes as fears grew the crisis could topple into war between Russia and the West.

The Russian President has immediately sent his Admiral Grigorovich frigate - armed with cruise missiles and a self-defence system - from the Black Sea to dock in Syria later.






Russian warship the Admiral Grigorovich (pictured on recent deployment) - armed with cruise missiles and a self-defence system - is docking in Syria today after it was immediately diverted from the Black Sea following Donald Trump's airstrike on al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs, which killed six and destroyed nine Syrian jets


It will pass through the east Mediterranean waters where the USS Ross and USS Porter fired the 59 Tomahawk missiles that pounded Assad's al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs in the early hours of Friday.

Putin today called the US action an 'illegal act of aggression' and also ripped up an agreement to avoid mid-air clashes between Russian and US fighter jets over Syria.

Footage showing burnt out shelters and hangars and a damaged runway was cheered by tearful Syrians hoping that Trump's intervention would lead to Assad being overthrown





Pictures appeared to show damage to the Syrian airbase runway caused by a barrage of some 59 Tomahawk missiles overnight





A U.S. Navy image shows the USS Ross (DDG 71) firing a tomahawk land attack missile at the Syrian air base


Pentagon officials said that the airfield was being used to store chemical weapons and was a base for Syrian air forces - including the aircraft that conducted the chemical weapons attack.

Syria's state agency SANA claimed that the missiles killed nine civilians, including four children, even though the bombarded the airbase in the middle of the night. There were reports nine Syrian jets were destroyed.

The Pentagon has released dramatic footage of its missiles being launched from USS Ross, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, targeting the Syrian base.
Putin this morning denounced the strike as an 'act of aggression against a UN member' and suspended a deal to avoid mid-air clashes with American fighter jets over the war-torn country. The Kremlin's propaganda machine clicked into hear claiming the strikes had 'extremely low' military effectiveness and that just 23 of 59 cruise missiles reached the air base, destroying six Syrian jets but leaving the runway intact.

Syrian Army officials called the US airstrike a act of 'blatant aggression', saying it had made America 'a partner' of ISIS, the ex-Nusra Front and other 'terrorist organisations'.

The US used a special military-to-military hotline to warn Russia it was launching an airstrike on a Syrian air base about 30 minutes in advance - but the Trump administration did not ask Moscow for permission. It is likely Russia alerted the Syrians about the incoming strikes but this has not been confirmed.

Viktor Ozerov, head of the defense committee in the Russian Federation Council, told state news agency RIA that the US strikes 'may undermine the efforts in the fight against terrorism in Syria.'
'Russia will demand an urgent UN Security Council meeting after the US airstrike on Syrian aviation base. This is an act of aggression against a UN member.'


Russia's foreign minister says no Russian servicemen have been hurt in the bombing raid. Its security council said it regretted the 'harm' done to relations between Washington and Moscow.

A Pentagon official told DailyMail.com that the president 'is dead-set against letting Assad labor under the illusion that the Syrian army can murder innocent people with impunity.'

The US military fired more than 50 tomahawk missiles at the al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs on Thursday




In the continuing fight back Russian or Syrian planes also bombed the town of Khan Sheikhoun, the scene of Tuesday's horrific chemical gas attack where 80 died, witnesses in the rebel-held area claimed.

The US was also branded 'a partner of ISIS' by al-Assad's spokesman, calling the missile strikes 'reckless and irresponsible' and accused Trump of 'naively falling' for a 'false propaganda campaign' about the Idlib Sarin massacre.

Today world leaders praised the US strikes and urged Putin to hold urgent talks with Trump to prevent the Syria crisis escalating into a wider world conflict.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, speaking alongside German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel, said: 'We do not want an escalation. We have to stop the hypocrisy. If Russia is acting in good faith it should stop and negotiate'.

'We do not wish to raise the stakes, but to find a solution. You can not deal with reality (use of chemical weapons) by resorting to propaganda.'

Russia / Iran Army Chiefs Vow to Continue Syria Fight

Daily Mail UK, 8 April 2017






Iranian General Mohammad Bagheri, seen in 2016, and Russian General Valery Gerasimov, "condemned the American operation against a Syrian air base which is an aggression against an independent country", Iranian state news agency IRNA said



The army chiefs of Russia and Iran discussed the US strikes in Syria by phone Saturday, 8 April, 2017, and vowed to continue the fight against "terrorists" and their supporters, Iranian media reported.



The two chiefs of staff, Major General Mohammad Bagheri and General Valery Gerasimov, "condemned the American operation against a Syrian air base which is an aggression against an independent country", state news agency IRNA said.

The American strikes "aim at slowing the victories of the Syrian army and its allies, and reinforcing terrorist groups", they said in a statement.
The two army leaders vowed to continue their military cooperation in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "until the total defeat of the terrorists and those that support them", according to the Mehr news agency.

Iran and Russia are Assad's closest allies and label all opponents of his regime as "terrorists".


Both governments have defended Assad against Western allegations that his regime carried out a suspected chemical weapons attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhun on Tuesday, killing dozens of civilians.

President Hassan Rouhani earlier criticised his US counterpart Donald Trump for the missiles fired early on Friday in response to the suspected chemical attack.

"This man who is now in office in America claimed that he wanted to fight terrorism but today all terrorists in Syria are celebrating the US attack," he said.






A Russian television station showed what it said was the aftermath of the missile attack on the Syrian base this morning







A Syrian opposition monitor says the US missile attack on an air base in the country's centre has killed at least four Syrian soldiers, including a general, and caused extensive damage






The military action has already sparked a furious response from President Vladimir Putin (left with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on Tuesday), who this morning called the airstrikes an 'illegal act of aggression





The Syrian Army described the attack as an act of 'blatant aggression', saying it had made the United States 'a partner' of ISIS, the ex-Nusra Front and other 'terrorist organisations'. An unidentified Syrian military official is shown reading the statement this morning



Quote:

HOW THE WORLD REACTED


From strong messages of support to fierce condemnation, here are the main global reactions to a US strike on a Syria air base in response to a suspected chemical attack.


Against:

RUSSIA
: Unsurprisingly, the main ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was robust in its opposition to the strike.
The strikes were an 'aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international norms,' the Kremlin said in a statement.
The action has inflicted 'considerable damage' to already 'lamentable' US-Russia ties, it added.
As a first practical response, Moscow said it would 'halt' its deal with the US to avoid clashes in Syrian airspace.
Russia also called for an urgent UN Security Council meeting following the strikes.

IRAN: The Iranian regime, another Syrian ally, 'strongly condemned' the strike, just as it condemned 'all unilateral military action'.
It said the US action was taken under the 'pretext' of the chemical strike.


For:

FRANCE/GERMANY: In a joint statement, President Francois Hollande and Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Assad bore 'sole responsibility' for the US strike following the suspected chemical attack.

BRITAIN: The close American ally said it 'fully supported' the strikes, judging them an 'appropriate response to the barbaric chemical weapons attack'. It said the strikes were 'intended to deter further attacks.'

TURKEY: NATO ally Turkey, which is a key player in the Syria conflict and has endured choppy relations with Washington recently, welcomed the strikes as 'positive.'
The deputy foreign minister added: 'We believe that the Assad regime must be punished completely in the international arena.'
Turkey called for a no-fly zone in Syria in the wake of the US strike.

SAUDI ARABIA: A foreign ministry official hailed US President Donald Trump as 'courageous' for taking action when 'the international community has failed to put a halt to the regime's actions.'

ISRAEL: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel 'fully supports' the 'strong and clear message' sent by the air strikes. He added that the message should 'resonate not only in Damascus, but in Tehran, Pyongyang and elsewhere.'

JAPAN: Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that Japan 'supports the US government's resolve that it will never tolerate the spread and use of chemical weapons.'

SYRIAN REBELS: A leading Syrian rebel group said one strike was 'not enough', adding that there were '26 airbases that target civilians.'
Others

CHINA: Beijing offered a nuanced reaction, saying it was 'urgent' to avoid 'further deterioration of the situation.'
A foreign ministry spokeswoman added: 'We oppose use of chemical weapons by any country, organisation or individual in any circumstance, for any purpose.'

And through the terrorist group's official Telegram account, a statement read:

Quote:

'We promise to the states that are allied against the Islamic State that they will face dark days in return for their aggression against our state.

'And what will await you will become harder and more bitter through the grace of Allah.

'In praise of Allah who has made our blows precise and helped us succeed. we demand for him to accept our brothers among the martyrs.'





First picture: These three men, pretending to be air passengers, are believed to the terrorists who have carried out the Brussels airport. The two suspected suicide bombers on the left were both wearing black gloves - which the Belgian media says would have hidden the triggers for their explosive vests.
