BREAKING NEWS: Tony Abbott Announces Australian Bombing Missions Against Islamic State in Iraq

  • Tony Abbott said the federal cabinet had approved combat flights in Iraq
  • Australian Super Hornets will be sent in as part of a US-led mission
  • Prime Minister warned the deployment would be 'quite lengthy'
Daily Mail UK, 3 October 2014


The federal government has approved air combat operations in Iraq to fight Islamic State extremists.

The decision to send in Super Hornets as part of a US-led mission came after a meeting of the national security committee and cabinet in Canberra on Friday.
'Today cabinet has authorised Australian air strikes in Iraq at the request of the Iraqi government in support of the Iraqi government,' Prime Minister Tony Abbott said.

'Also, subject to final legal documentation, cabinet has authorised the deployment of Australian special forces into Iraq to advise and assist Iraqi forces.'

Six Super Hornets, a Wedgetail surveillance aircraft, a KC-30 refueller and a special forces contingent have been pre-deployed to the United Arab Emirates.
Australia ended its military commitment to Iraq in July 2009, after six years of war involving more than 20,000 personnel.
He warned the mission would be 'quite lengthy' and would be months rather than weeks.

'I want to assure the Australian people this will be as long as it needs to be, and as short as it possibly can be,' he said.
Only Iraq can defeat IS, but Iraq shouldn't and won't be alone, Mr Abbott said.
Mr Abbott warned it would be a dangerous mission.
But he's confident the Defence Force has all possible measures to minimise risk in place.

'It is a combat deployment, but it is an essentially humanitarian mission to protect the people of Iraq and ultimately the people of Australia from the murderous rage of the ISIL death cult,' Mr Abbott said.
'It is absolutely in Australia's national interests that this mission go ahead.'

Mr Abbott says Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has given his full support.
Defence Minister David Johnston said the Iraqi government was 'gratefully welcoming' of Australia's role.
'The skill, commitment and professionalism of our uniform personnel is simply first class,' he said.
'They will do a very good job for us.'

Defence Force chief Mark Binskin said the air task group and commando unit were 'potent'.
'The team is well trained, they're well equipped, they're well prepared,' Air Chief Marshal Binskin said.
'The air traffic group's been flying supporting missions and some training missions over Iraq for the last couple of days and we're ready to get on with the job.'

The prime minister again refused to rule out potential involvement in Syria and cautioned against trying to predict future missions.
'Let's focus on what's being done today rather than speculate on what might be done in months or years to come,' he said.
Success would be evident when the Iraqi government was restoring control over its own cities and towns and when IS was in retreat.
'If we could degrade them to the point where they no longer existed that would be obviously the best possible result.'

But Mr Abbott warned that Australia was not at war.
'I know that you'd love to have that headline, but it's not strictly accurate,' he told reporters.
'Yes, we are engaged in combat operations. But these are combat operations against an insurgency in support of the legitimate government of Iraq.
'We're not trying to build liberal pluralism in Iraq, we're not trying to create a shining city on a hill.'

Update re: VIDEOS-ISIS -New Beheading >> US Aid Worker




The Ordinary UK Taxi Driver Killed by ISIS Terrorists: Murdered Alan Henning Had Travelled to Syria to Help child Refugees in War-Torn Country

  • Mr Henning travelled to Syria after previously visiting a refugee camp
  • Said he was inspired to help innocents whose lives were being ruined
  • Agreed to drive 3,000 miles in an aid convoy to deliver supplies to refugees
  • But he was snatched by ISIS militants on boxing day near town of Al-Dana
  • Appeared in video showing murder of British hostage David Haines
  • Has now been beheaded by ISIS terrorists despite pleas to release him
Daily Mail UK, 3 October 2014


Alan Henning – the second British hostage to be murdered by ISIS terrorists – was an ‘ordinary’ taxi driver compelled to travel to Syria to help child refugees in the war-torn country.


Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he had seen the suffering first hand during a life-changing visit to a refugee camp, which inspired him to help the innocents whose lives were being wrecked by the conflict.
After volunteering with a Muslim charity, the 47-year-old married father-of-two agreed to drive 3,000 miles in a convoy of old ambulances to help the aid effort and take much-needed medical supplies to hospitals in the northern Syrian province of Idlib.





Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, Alan Henning, was an ordinary taxi driver compelled to travel to Syria to help child refugees in the war-torn country


Known as ‘Gadget’ to friends and family for his fondness for technology, Mr Henning had been washing cars in the UK to raise money for donations before setting off on his fourth visit to the country.
He travelled with eight others from charity Al-Fathiha Global, who intended to deliver vital equipment, including NHS ambulances packed with baby milk, nappies, food and defibrillators, but was kidnapped by Islamic State extremists on Boxing Day, shortly after making the 4,000-mile journey to the town of Al-Dana

Footage emerged three weeks ago of the keen fisherman looking ill and exhausted as he knelt before the knife-wielding militant nicknamed Jihadi John at the end of the chilling video of the barbaric murder of aid worker David Haines.

Last night the terrorist’s threat that Mr Henning would become the next British hostage to be killed if David Cameron persisted 'in fighting the Islamic State' appeared to have been carried out.

His death comes just two days after his wife of 23 years Barbara Henning, 45, appeared on camera to make a heart-breaking plea to his captors to spare his life.
Tearfully, she said Mr Henning, 47, was 'in the right place, doing the right thing' when he travelled to Syria to deliver aid.

She described her husband as a ‘peaceful, selfless man’ and begged ISIS to show him mercy.
Earlier she had revealed that she had heard her husband’s voice just once over the past nine months – in an audio message sent by his captors in which he could be heard begging for his life.

Neighbours living near his family's red-brick terrace house in Eccles, Greater Manchester, where the couple had lived for a decade, covered their community with yellow ribbons in a show of support for Mr Henning, his wife and their children Lucy, 17, and Adam, 15.
‘Free Alan’ ribbons were attached to cars, gates and lampposts and more than 100 friends and well-wishers attended a vigil for all faiths last week to pray for his safe return.

Muslim leaders across the globe also urged the Islamic terrorists to show mercy to Mr Henning, who was 'an ordinary guy just trying to help women and kids.’
They said killing Mr Henning is against shariah law and would be the 'worst condemnable sin' against Islam.
A fan of Phil Collins, which he enjoyed playing as he drove, Mr Henning was incredibly popular and during one trip insisted on sleeping inside his ambulance instead of a hotel to save money so it could be donated to the refugees instead.





Mr Henning's death comes just two days after his wife Barbara, pictured, made a tearful plea to his captors to release him


BBC documentary maker Catrin Nye, who met Mr Henning when he was packing an aid convoy bound for Syria, said he had no formal background in aid work, but felt a 'pull' to return to Syria after a previous trip to a refugee camp.
'He was a funny man and was cracking jokes while we were packing up,' Ms Nye said.
'He told me that he'd been on one of those convoys previously and he was inspired by his friends who'd been, and since he'd got back he'd found it hard not to return.
'He's a taxi driver, not a professional aid worker - but he said he looked at the world differently [after he returned] and felt a pull to go back to Syria.
'He was very popular and friends would comment that he was very funny and very kind.
'He described holding the children ... and how that really affected him. He told me he had to go back.'





Last week people held a candlelit vigil for Mr Henning near his home in Eccles Park, Greater Manchester





‘Free Alan’ yellow ribbons were also attached to cars, gates and lampposts as a show of support for Mr Henning's family


Kasim Jameel, leader of the convoy on which Mr Henning was travelling when he was kidnapped, described his friend as a ‘big softie.’

While Dr Shameela Islam-Zulfiqar, who was also in the convoy, said Mr Henning was ‘remarkable.’
‘He’s such a compassionate and selfless human being,’ she said. ‘It just simply wasn’t enough for Alan to sit back and just donate or raise awareness.
He had to get up and do something about what he’d seen Every time the convoys went he had a yearning to go. That really motivated him, to see, practically, first-hand the difference he was making.’

But after the Ministry of Defence announced that RAF Tornados had attacked IS targets inside Iraq – many feared a backlash against Mr Henning.
Relatives and colleagues said they feared air strikes would make it harder for him to be found alive.
Last night it appeared their worst fears had been realised.
END

RIP Alan

Even Al Qaeda Tried To Free Alan Henning

An al Qaeda negotiator was sent to try to secure Alan Henning's release but found Islamic State fighters "difficult" and "tough".

UK, Saturday 04 October 2014




Even Al Qaeda Could Not Free Alan

A filmmaker, who was involved in the early negotiations to free Alan Henning, has told Sky News how even al Qaeda thought holding him hostage was "not a good idea".
The terrorist group sent a member to bargain with the Islamic State fighters holding him but failed to secure his release.

The al Qaeda member, who was sent to bargain with the Manchester taxi driver's captors, said the jihadists were "difficult" and "tough".



Alan Delivering aid to the suffering in Syria


Bilal Abdul Kareem told how Mr Henning, who was helping to make an aid delivery in Syria, was captured just an hour after arriving in al-Dana, around 30 minutes from the Turkish border, on Boxing Day.
He said Islamic State fighters had arrived in the town and detained all of those in the convoy but quickly released the Muslim members, holding only Mr Henning.




Mr Kareem said when Mr Henning was first taken he was set to be released later that day or even the next but when that did not happen people started to worry.

Then the jihadists claimed the 47-year-old, father-of-two as their prisoner and said they were planning to exchange him for people in British custody.

Mr Kareem said: "They had a course of action that they were going to take and nobody was going to be able to talk them out of
it.


UK PM Pledges 'All Assets' Against IS:




"Even al Qaeda affiliates al Nusra went there to talk to them because nobody outside of ISIS thought this was a good idea, nobody thought that it was OK to do this, none of the other groups were doing that, nobody thought it was a good idea.
"When the al Qaeda representative went to go down and try to talk to them he returned, his face was different, he said something to the effect these guys are really being difficult, really being tough but they did say that they were going to release him.
"Everybody was anticipating that but that never happened."



UK Muslims 'Disgusted'



On Friday the terrorists posted a video of Mr Henning's killing. In it he is pictured kneeling in front of a masked man, who speaks with a British accent and is believed to be the man responsible for previous beheadings.

The man makes a direct appeal to David Cameron saying: "The blood of David Haines was on your hands, Cameron. Alan Henning will also be slaughtered, but his blood is on the hands of the British Parliament."


Muslim leaders have condemned the beheading on the eve of the Muslim festival of Eid Al-Adha, which represents a day of mercy, and said they want to see justice done.



Eccles Pastor: 'It's Gut-wrenching'


As the community of Eccles mourned, Mr Cameron said Britain would use all of its assets to destroy Islamic State.

Khorosan Group will Strike U.S. 'Very, Very Soon' Warns FBI Director
-He Admits 12 American ISIS Fighters Cannot be Stopped from Coming Back Home

  • James Comey said the Al Qaeda veterans are 'bent on destruction'
  • Suggested that they are working on an attack directed at US and its allies
  • Said people with American passports who have joined extremists can return
  • They are powerless from stopping them even though they've been identified
Daily Mail UK, 6 October 2014


The Director of the FBI has warned the Khorosan terror group will strike the US 'very very soon' and says Americans fighting alongside militants in Syria cannot be stopped from returning home.
James Comey said the unit of Al Qaeda veterans are 'bent on destruction' and are believed to be working on an attack directed at the United States or its allies.
However he assured the public by saying changes made since 9/11 mean the security services are 'better in every way that you'd want' and have the systems in place to quash any threat.





Concerns: FBI Director James Comey said the Khorosan terror group could attack 'very very soon' and admitted that Americans fighting alongside militants in the Middle East are entitled to return


Speaking on CBS 60 Minutes, he confirmed that there are around a dozen American citizens fighting in the Middle East for the extremist groups, and the government is aware of who they are.



The interviewer Scott Pelley asks:

Quote:
'How many Americans are fighting in Syria on the side of the terrorists?'
'In the area of a dozen or so,' Comey replied.

'Do you know who they are?'
Comey answers: 'Yes.'

Pelley then pressed: 'Each and every one of them?'
'I think of that, dozen or so, I do. I hesitate only because I don't know what I don't know,' Comey said.

He said: 'Ultimately, an American citizen, unless their passport's revoked, is entitled to come back. So, someone who's fought with ISIL, with American passport wants to come back, we will track them very carefully.'
Discussing the US fight against terrorism, Comey added that the terrorist networks within Syria as a sophisticated 'metastasis' of Al Qaeda
Khorosan, a small group of Al Qaeda veterans from Afghanistan and Pakistan, was targeted in strikes near Aleppo, Syria, last month. Senior U.S. officials have not said whether the group's plots have been disrupted.
Comey said: 'Given our visibility we know they're serious people, bent on destruction.'


Director of the FBI, James Corney, discusses US ISIS defectors:




But he added that Americans should have confidence in changes made since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, pointing to a government 'better organized, better systems, better equipment, smarter deployment. We're better in every way that you'd want us to be since 9/11.'

During the interview, he also compared Chinese hackers to a 'drunk burglar' who steals with reckless abandon, even as they cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars every year.





Questioning: When interviewer Scott Pelley asked Comey whether he knew who the Americans fighting with the extremists were, he replied simply saying 'Yes'


In an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS' '60 Minutes,' Comey said Chinese hackers target the intellectual property of U.S. companies in China every day.
'I liken them a bit to a drunk burglar. They're kickin' in the front door, knocking over the vase, while they're walking out with your television set. They're just prolific. Their strategy seems to be: `We'll just be everywhere all the time. And there's no way they can stop us,'' Comey said.

The Justice Department earlier this year announced a 31-count indictment against Chinese hackers accused of breaking into computer networks at steel companies and the manufacturers of solar and nuclear technology, with the goal of gaining a competitive advantage. China has denied the allegations.




Comey admitted that the government knows the citizens who have travelled to join the fighting and will 'track them very carefully' if they return


In the CBS interview, Comey also discussed the U.S. fight against terrorism. He described the terrorist networks within Syria as a sophisticated 'metastasis' of al-Qaida.

He said the Khorasan Group, an al-Qaida cell in Syria that was targeted in military strikes last month, was 'working and, you know, may still be working on an effort to attack the United States or our allies, and looking to do it very, very soon.'


'Given our visibility we know they're serious people, bent on destruction,' he said.Comey said the U.S. believes there are about a dozen Americans fighting alongside extremist groups in Syria. He said if someone has fought alongside the Islamic State militant group and tries to come back to the U.S., 'we will track them very carefully.'

British Hostage Killed by Al-Qaeda Terrorists at BP Plant in Algeria Texted His Wife Saying She Was 'Amazing' Moments Before His death

  • Father-of-one Sebastian John among six Britons killed by jihadi insurgents
  • 40 hostages killed during four-day standoff at In Amenas complex in 2013
  • Mr John's wife Nicola told inquest how 26-year-old sent texts before death
  • He also sent 'brave' covert emails trying to reveal identities of terrorists
  • Wife of Carlos Estrada - BP's VP for North Africa - also received messages
  • Mr Estrada text: 'I'm OK darling, the worst is over and returning to normal'
  • 800 people were at desert complex when militants entered in January 2013
  • Facility jointly run by Statoil, BP and Algerian state energy firm Sonatrach
  • Inquest into British hostages' deaths continues at Royal Courts of Justice
Daily Mail UK, 9 October 2014


A British hostage killed at a BP glass plant in Algeria by terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda sent his wife a final text saying: 'You are the most amazing wife ever', an inquest has heard.
Sebastian John, 26, from the East Midlands, was among six British men and a UK-based Colombian killed by jihadi insurgents from the Sahara during a four-day standoff at the In Amenas complex last year.
A total of 40 hostages were killed when the al-Qaeda linked terrorist Mokhtar Belmokhtar stormed the facility in January 2013.





Sebastian John, 26, pictured with his wife Nicola and their seven-month old son, was among six British men killed by jihadi insurgents during a four-day siege at the In Amenas gas complex in Algeria in January 2013


The other British victims were Carson Bilsland and Kenneth Whiteside, both from Scotland; Stephen Green, from Hampshire; Paul Morgan and Garry Barlow, both from Liverpool, and Colombian Carlos Estrada.

During evidence today at the inquest, Nicola John described how her late husband phoned her on 16 January to say he had been taken hostage by Al-Qaeda.
The inquest heard how he later text her asking her to look after their 'tiny man', before sending a brave email - the last contact he had with his wife - trying to reveal the identities of the terrorists.

Mrs John told the court: 'He told me he had called the British Embassy to get the helicopters of the Algerian army to get back. He told me either they would kill the hostages or blow the plant up.'

During the phone call, he urged his wife to relate instructions to 'get the army back', fearing an attack would create mayhem.

She told the inquest: 'I told Seb that I loved him and he told me that he did too. I said I would do as he asked and I believe he just hung up. This was the last time I spoke to Seb.'

She later received agonising text messages, one reading, 'I love you so much, never forget that xx'.
Eight minutes later, Mr John wrote another message saying: 'Talk to my mum please. Look after our tiny man. You are the most amazing wife ever xx'.


The civil engineer, whose UK home was in Nottingham when he died, had already been singled out by assistant coroner for West Sussex, judge Nicholas Hilliard QC, for attempting to send the covert emails.
The court heard that, during the attack, hostages were 'encouraged' to make contact with the outside world, relaying the terrorists' demand that 100 Jihadi prisoners be released in northern Mali.

Senior investigating officer Detective Superintendent James Stokley told how Mr John had sent emails with pictures of the terrorists while he was held hostage.
Judge Hilliard said it was 'an extremely brave thing to do at considerable risk to himself'.





BP executive Carlos Estrada was among hostages who were killed at the In Amenas plant during a four-day stand-off. His wife said he text her saying 'The worst is over' before he was killed








Paul Morgan (top) and Garry Barlow, both from Liverpool, were also killed in the four-day siege


In her evidence, Mrs John also told the inquest her husband had been informed by e-mail that he would be going to work in Algeria but was unaware of any terrorist threat.
She said his only worry was being away from his young family, the hot weather and a possible driver's strike.
But she said her husband would 'often break down in tears at the prospect of going' because he did not want to leave his wife and baby son.
She said: 'If he had been able to identify an objective reason, he would not have gone.'

Once in the Maghreb, Mr John 'did not really like it and wanted to come home'.

Nicola John
Mrs John added: 'He thought if there were any concerns at all then BP would get him out of there'.

Today, Claudia Gaviria, the wife of another victim, Carlos Estrada, told the inquest how her husband had been pressurised into travelling to In Amenas by other executives.
Mr Estrada had worked for BP for 18 years and had risen to the post of Vice President for North Africa when he was taken captive and killed, the inquest heard.
She said: 'I strongly believe that had Carlos known of the risks posed, he would not have elected to travel to Algeria and would have travelled to his meeting in Egypt, as was originally planned.'

At the start of the crisis, Ms Gaviria began to receive worrying text messages from her husband, the inquest heard.
The first read: 'Love, there was an attack on the camp with lots of shooting. It is okay, it is fine, I love you'.

Mr Estrada asked his wife not tell their daughter about the situation 'so she is relaxed for the exam'.
He later wrote: 'I am okay my darling. The worst is over and the situation is returning to normal', the inquest heard.





Kenneth Whiteside, from Scotland, was another of the British men inside the gas facility when terrorists took workers hostage


But, tragically, at around 9pm that night, Mr Estrada left a voicemail on his wife's landline telling her he loved her - the last contact she had with her husband.
She told the inquest: 'He did not saying anything about the situation in Algeria. I think he was crying.'





Carson Bilsland died from injuries caused by an explosion, the inquest heard


David Green, the father of another victim Stephen, also told the court how he was reassured all British casualties had been taken to a hospital to await repatriation.
But the court heard Stephen's body was not identified for days and was left with the dead terrorists.
Mr Green added that a family liaison officer informed him the British Ambassador was on the site, co-ordinating the operation.
He said: 'I did not want my son Stephen to be lying out in the desert.
'The Algerians mistook him for a terrorist and he was not identified for another ten days after that which caused further distress, but that is my knowledge of what the British Ambassador did in In Amenas.
'I believed wrongly - as it turned out - that he would be protected by BP and the Algerian government.'

The court also heard the account of survivor Nick Hitch, the highly experienced project manager at the In Amenas Compression Project.
He said in a written statement of his belief the hostage crisis was 'an inside job', saying one spoke with an English accent and the other with a North American.
The oil worker added the In Amenas plant had two forms of emergency siren - an intermittent siren for fire and a constant siren for a security breach.

On the morning of the crisis, the intermittent siren began to blare, leading Mr Hitch to believe it was 'a fire drill'.





Almost 800 people were at the desert complex in eastern Algeria, pictured, when heavily armed militants entered at dawn on January 16 last year





The gas facility is a joint venture run by Statoil, the British company BP and the Algerian state energy firm Sonatrach


But, after hiding out with fellow workers, the extremists finally located Mr Hitch and his two colleagues.
The group were lead to a courtyard and held together with their fellow ex-pats. He recounted how the Islamists brought two barrels of 'TNT' into the courtyard, along with land-mines and a long fuse cord.
The terrorists then proceeded to attach the hostages to the explosive cache by the neck.

'They rigged us up with the cord around our necks and attached us to the explosives', he said.

Mr Hitch became convinced the attackers had deliberately targeted VIPs - senior employees - like himself.
He said the killers 'clearly had had help from people inside the facility'.
He said: 'Most [of the Algerian workers] appeared wary of the terrorists. However, there was a distinct group of about twenty or thirty terrorists who were separate from the rest.'
This group was 'laughing with them [the terrorists] and engaging in conversation with them', he told the court.

Survivor Nick Hitch

Almost 800 people were at the desert complex when heavily armed militants entered at dawn on January 16 last year.

The coroner previously heard the terrorists were allowed to travel 30 miles across the Sahara desert from the Malian border with Algeria, to the facility, unchecked.




The six-week inquest into the deaths of the British men is being held at the Royal Courts of Justice, pictured


The court heard that the complex had been stormed by some 34 Islamists armed with AK47-type machine guns, telescopic rifles and explosives and dressed in military fatigues.
Gunmen attacked two buses carrying foreign gas workers at the plant before taking hostages at the plant's living quarters.

The first British victim to be killed was Mr Morgan, a 46-year-old security contractor, who was said to have died during the initial attack as the terrorists.

Many of the victims were last seen alive being placed in terrorist vehicles on the second day of the stand-off, the inquest heard.
The inquest heard how on January 17 hostages were grouped together according to nationality and told they were going to be moved as the terrorists anticipated an attack from the Algerian military.

Post-mortem examinations carried out in the UK found that Mr Barlow, Mr Whiteside and Mr Bilsland had all died from injuries caused by an explosion.
Mr John died from a blunt injury to the head, Mr Morgan was killed by a gunshot wound to the head and Mr Green died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
Mr Estrada, who lived in Chelsea, west London, died from injuries caused by an explosion and multiple gun shot wounds, the court heard.

The gas facility, in eastern Algeria, is a joint venture run by Statoil, the British company BP and the Algerian state energy firm Sonatrach.

Update Re: EBOLA/Plaque/Dengue/Chikungunya Spread Around The World

EBOLA EPIDEMIC:
Could Terrorists Turn Themselves into Ebola Suicide 'Bombs'? Experts Fear ISIS Jihadists May Infect Themselves to Spread Virus in West

Isis fanatics may be thinking of infecting themselves with Ebola, says expert
A U.S Naval War College lecturer says strategy is entirely plausible
The virus is running rampant in West Africa, with 3,800 dead in a few months
New Ebola cases reported in the US, Spain
and Australia
  • Barack Obama orders officials to screen travellers at five major airports
  • Every major hospital in England told to prepare for Ebola patients' arrival
  • UK Health experts urge anyone with symptoms not to visit their GP or A&E
  • World Health Organisation: March of virus across Europe is 'unavoidable'
  • 750 British military personnel going to West Africa to help tackle spread
Daily Mail UK, 9 October 2014


Terrorist group Isis may be considering using Ebola as a suicide bio-weapon against the West, according to a military expert.

The virus is transmitted by direct contact with an infected person who is showing the symptoms – and it wouldn't be difficult for fanatics to contract it then travel to countries they want to wreak havoc in, according to a military expert.

Terrorist group Isis may be considering using Ebola as a suicide bio-weapon against the West, according to a military expert


'The individual exposed to the Ebola Virus would be the carrier. In the context of terrorist activity, it doesn't take much sophistication to go to that next step to use a human being as a carrier.'
And Professor Anthony Glees, Director at Buckingham University's Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies, agrees that the strategy might be considered.
He said: 'In some ways it’s a plausible theory – IS fighters believe in suicide and this is a potential job for a suicide mission. They are sufficiently murderous and well-informed to consider it, and they know that we’ve been remiss in the UK.'





The virus is running rampant in West Africa, with 3,800 dead in just a matter of months and the first cases appearing in Europe at the U.S.
The possibility that Isis, also known as Islamic State and Isil, could make the situation far worse is one that should be taken very seriously, another expert said.

In the May 2013 issue of the journal Global Policy, Amanda Teckman, author of the paper The Bioterrorist Threat Of Ebola In East Africa And Implications For Global Health And Security concluded: 'The threat of an Ebola bioterrorist attack in East Africa is a global health and security concern, and should not be ignored,' Forbes reported.

Far from being lone voices on this theory, concern in America about Ebola being used as a bioweapon was in fact a catalyst for its $5.6billion Project Bioshield, according to a source familiar with the matter, who did not wish to be named.




The virus is running rampant in West Africa, with 3,800 dead in just a matter of months and the first cases appearing in Europe at the U.S



Signed off by President George W. Bush in 2004, it ensures generous funding for scientists researching bioweapon counter-measures, as well as accelerating research against chemical, radiological and nuclear agents.
It also grants the U.S government the power to stockpile huge quantities of medical countermeasures.

However, Jennifer Cole, Senior Research Fellow, Resilience & Emergency Management, at the Royal United Services Institute, while acknowledging that Isis using Ebola as a weapon isn't out of the question, says that now would not be the best time to employ this strategy.
She told MailOnline: 'Everyone's looking out for signs of Ebola at the moment so they'd be very unlikely to get away with it.
'The other issue with Ebola is that it's very hard to control. The militants could just end up wiping themselves out before they've had the chance to pass it on.
'For a suicide attack, strapping sticks of dynamite to your chest is far more effective.'

Middle East security expert Andreas Krieg, from King’s College London's Department of Defence Studies, echoed Cole's scepticism.
He said: 'It is certainly possible for Isis to use the Ebola virus as it is a cheap and accessible source in West Africa. However, considering the WHO’s and international community’s effort to contain the spread of the virus it will be increasingly difficult to "export" the virus via air transport to other parts of the world. It would require a lot of effort and have a low chance of success.'
He added: 'Isis is not currently focusing on the West. At the moment Isis’ focus is on expanding its territory and influence in Syria and Iraq. It is bogged down there. Within this context I do not see any place for Ebola as a bio-weapon to be used against any of the opponents. It would be too risky as they would likely infect their own fighters and people living in their territory.'

Professor Glees added: 'It would be logistically very difficult to get an IS fighter to West Africa, come into contact with Ebola, wait to find out if they were infected, then leg it to London.'

The first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. died on Wednesday despite intense but delayed treatment, and the government announced it was expanding airport examinations to guard against the spread of the deadly disease.





The possibility that Isis, also known as Islamic State and Isil, could make the situation far worse is one that should be taken very seriously, another expert said.


The checks will include taking the temperatures of hundreds of travelers arriving from West Africa at five major American airports.
The new screenings will begin Saturday at New York's JFK International Airport and then expand to Washington Dulles and the international airports in Atlanta, Chicago and Newark. An estimated 150 people per day will be checked, using high-tech thermometers that don't touch the skin.
The White House said the fever checks would reach more than 9 of 10 travelers to the U.S. from the three heaviest-hit countries - Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

President Barack Obama called the measures 'really just belt and suspenders' to support protections already in place. Border Patrol agents now look for people who are obviously ill, as do flight crews, and in those cases the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is notified.
As of Wednesday, Ebola has killed about 3,800 people in West Africa and infected at least 8,000, according to the World Health Organization.

A medical official with the U.N. Mission in Liberia who tested positive for Ebola arrived in the German city of Leipzig on Thursday to be treated at a local clinic with specialist facilities, authorities said.
The unidentified medic infected in Liberia is the second member of the U.N. mission, known as UNMIL, to contract the virus. The first died on September 25. He is the third Ebola patient to arrive in Germany for treatment.

The virus has taken an especially devastating toll on health care workers, sickening or killing more than 370 of them in the hardest-hit countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone - places that already were short on doctors and nurses.

There are no approved medications for Ebola, so doctors have tried experimental treatments in some cases, including drugs and blood transfusions from others who have recovered from Ebola.
The survivor's blood could carry antibodies for the disease that will help a patient fight off the virus.


Ebola: What is it?









Man sees if an Ebola-infected ISIS terrorist could enter USA:

Update re: VIDEOS-ISIS -New Beheading >> US Aid Worker

Canada Raises Terrorism Threat Level
-Cites Islamist Chatter

22 October 2014, By David Ljunggren

OTTAWA, Oct 22 (Reuters)

- Canada has raised its terrorism threat level to medium from low because of a rise in "general chatter" from radical groups such as Islamic State and al Qaeda, a government official said on Tuesday.


"This increase is not the result of a specific threat," said Jean-Christophe de Le Rue, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney.

A suspected Canadian militant ran over two soldiers in Quebec on Monday, killing one of them.


De Le Rue said the new terrorism threat level meant Canadian intelligence services had "indicated an individual or group within Canada or abroad has the intent and capability to commit an act of terrorism".

Update re: VIDEOS-ISIS -New Beheading >> US Aid Worker

Three Teenage Denver Girls Stole $2,000 From Their Parents and Ran Away to Join ISIS - But Were Caught in Germany After FBI Tip Off

  • The three teenage girls went missing from Denver, Colorado, US, last Friday
  • Teenagers were apprehended in Frankfurt, Germany
  • The girls left Denver and flew to Frankfurt via Chicago
  • Girls are 15 and 16 years old and are believed to be of Somali descent
  • They are minors so it is unclear if they'll be charged with anything
  • Law enforcement official: There are other cases of high school-age kids trying to get to Syria that haven't been made public
  • Trio due to arrive back home this week - they have spoken to their relatives

Daily Mail UK, 22 October 2014





Three teenage girls from suburban Denver may have been trying to join Islamic State militants in Syria after stealing their parents' money and flying to Germany, authorities said Tuesday.


The girls - two sisters, ages 17 and 15, and their 16-year-old friend - were reported missing after they skipped school Friday, but the families had no indication of where they might have gone, said Glenn Thompson, bureau chief of the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department Suspicion arose when the sisters' father realized his daughters were gone, along with $2,000 and their passports.

They were stopped at the Frankfurt, Germany, airport over the weekend by FBI agents and returned to Colorado where they were reunited with their families, FBI spokeswoman Suzie Payne said.






Three American teenage girls from Colorado have been detained in Germany while reportedly on their way to Syria to join ISIS. Pictured: Frankfurt airport


A U.S. official said the girls were headed toward Turkey en route to Syria and that investigators were now reviewing evidence, including the girls' computers.


Another U.S. official called the case "concerning" both to the community and to the country in general. The official said the evidence gathered so far made it clear that the girls were headed to Syria, though the official said investigators were still determining what sort of contacts they had in that country. The official said investigators would be trying to figure out whether there were "like-minded" friends and acquaintances in the girls' social circle.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation by name.
The Arapahoe County missing person's report contains details of the girls' movements.

They said they stayed in the Frankfurt airport for an entire day before being detained, questioned and returned to Denver, where they were further questioned by the FBI and sent home.They told authorities they had gone to Germany for "family" but wouldn't elaborate.
The 16-year-old girl's father became concerned when he got a call from her high school saying she hadn't reported to class, according to the police reports.
The families reported no prior problems with the girls.

Deputies closed the missing person's case Monday after they learned the girls had been returned.
A man who answered the door at the sisters' home in the Denver suburb of Aurora identified himself as a family member but said he had no comment.

The announcement comes one month after 19-year-old Shannon Conley of Arvada, Colorado, pleaded guilty to charges that she conspired to help militants in Syria.


The U.S. Attorney's Office in Denver declined to comment on the latest cases. It's unclear whether the girls will face charges.

Crimes committed by juveniles are treated as acts of "delinquency" in the federal system and are not handled the same way as crimes committed by adults.

Authorities have not said how they think the girls became interested in helping the Islamic State militants. In Conley's case, she told agents she wanted to marry a suitor she met online who said he was a Tunisian man fighting with the Islamic State in Syria.




Earlier this month, 19-year-old Shannon Conley (pictured) of Denver, who authorities say intended to wage jihad, pleaded guilty to trying to help the Islamic State militant group in Syria



Conley said she wanted to use her American military training with the U.S. Army Explorers to fight a holy war overseas, authorities said. If she could not fight with the extremists, she told agents, she would use her training as a nurse's aide.
Agents, who had been overtly trying to stop Conley, arrested her in April as she boarded a flight she hoped would ultimately get her to Syria. She could face up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine when she is sentenced in January.

Foreign fighters from dozens of nations are pouring into the Middle East to join the Islamic State group and other terrorist organizations. U.S. officials are putting new energy into trying to understand what radicalizes people far removed from the fight, and into trying to prod countries to do a better job of keeping them from joining up.

Default re: PhOtOs-ISIS Calls For More Attacks in Canada

Pictured: Recent Muslim Convert Michael Zehaf-Bibeau Who Shot Dead a Solider and Opened Fire on Canadian Parliament

  • Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, was shot dead after opening fire at Parliament Hill
  • He was born in Quebec but reportedly recently converted to Islam and had his passport seized after being designated a 'high-risk traveler'
  • He also had multiple drug arrests and a 2011 arrest for bank robbery, for which he served just one day in prison
  • He shot reserve soldier Corporal Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial before running inside Parliament and exchanging gunfire with guards
  • Heroic Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers shot him dead
  • Police initially said there were multiple gunmen and at a press conference, they would not rule out other suspects
  • This came on the same day Prime Minister Stephen Harper had been scheduled to give Nobel peace Prize winning Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai her Canadian citizenship
  • Witness accounts of a suspect include descriptions of him as short with long hair, overweight, wearing a dark jacket and 'Arabic scarf'
  • A photo has now been released of Zehaf-Bibeau holding a gun and wearing a keffiyeh

Terror alert had been raised in Canada two days earlier after 'lone wolf' jihadi killed soldier in car attack and ISIS singled out country for revenge over air strikes

Soldier, 24, shot dead by Muslim convert Michael Zehaf-Bibeau who opened fire on Canadian Parliament in terrifying attack that left capital on lockdown





Daily Mail UK, 22 October 2014


A Muslim convert shot dead a Canadian soldier at the National War Memorial in Ottawa today before exchanging dozens of shots with guards inside Parliament in a terrifying attack that left the nation's capital on lockdown. Michael Zehaf-Bibeau (center) fatally shot Corporal Nathan Cirillo (left), a 24-year-old father, as he stood guard at the War Memorial on Wednesday morning. Zehaf-Bibeau then ran inside the Parliament, where he opened fire before he was shot dead by the House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms. And now, we have our first look at Zehaf-Bibeau, who grew up Michael Joseph Hall in Quebec. In the past ten years he had been arrested numerous times for drug possession and robbery, and recently had his passport seized after being designated a 'high-risk traveler.'




Final moments: Corporal Nathan Cirillo (left) is pictured guarding the National War Memorial just minutes before he was shot


Zehaf-Bibeau was born in Quebec as Michael Joseph Hall and raised in Laval, just north of Montreal.
A criminal court database shows a man with the same name was arrested five times while living in Montreal.
Zehaf-Bibeau was charged in February 2004 for possession of marijuana and possession of PCP. He pleaded guilty to both charges in December 2004, serving one day in prison for marijuana possession and 60 days for PCP possession.
He also spent a day in jail in March of 2004 for a parole violation and was again convicted of marijuana possession in 2009.

In 2011, he was charged with bank robbery in Vancouver but served only one day in prison after he pleaded guilty to the lesser offense of uttering threats, and was credited with 66 days in pre-trial custody.

His attack comes just two days after another Canadian soldier was killed in Quebec by Martin Couture-Rouleau, a man with jihadist sympathies.


Fox has reported that Zehaf-Bibeau was recently in communication with Couture-Rouleau.
Authorities initially said they believed 'two or three' gunmen were responsible for the attack in Ottawa on Wednesday, but at an afternoon press conference, Chief of Police Charles Bordeleau would not confirm whether or not they are still searching for other shooters.

'We're still in the process of clearing Parliament Hill,' he said. 'It is a slow and methodical process.'
The shooting spree began at 9.52am when witnesses reported seeing a gunman climb out of a car, grab a rifle, shoot the soldier in the abdomen and then run towards Parliament.
Corporal Cirillo was rushed to hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
Cirillo, a fitness fanatic and animal lover with a young son, was a reservist serving with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in Hamilton.
'Nathan was a good man,' friend Marie Michele told CBC 'He would give anything to anyone.'
Ottawa police then received a call at 9.54am that shots had been heard inside the Parliament, while journalists cowering inside said they heard dozens of rounds and could smell gunpowder in the halls.

A shootout unfolded and Zehaf-Bibeau was killed by Sergeant-At-Arms Kevin Vickers, who worked for the RCMP for 29 years before joining the Parliament in 2006.

'I am safe & profoundly grateful to Sgt at Arms Kevin Vickers & our security forces for selfless act of keeping us safe,' said Julian Fantino, Canada's Minister of Veterans Affairs, on Twitter.

The Sergeant-at-Arms is responsible for safeguarding the authority of the House of Commons and providing safety and security of the Parliament buildings and the people inside.
As gunfire erupted in the hallways, journalists and politicians scrambled for safety, while members in the Conservative Party caucus room blocked the door with a stack of chairs.

A parliamentary guard was shot in the leg during the gunfight but is recovering in hospital, according to Globe and Mail reporter Josh Wingrove, who is inside the building.

The government said there is not yet any evidence that Zehaf-Bibeau has any ties to violent Islamic extremism but noted that it is still early in the investigation.
An Ottawa Citizen reporter inside the Parliament building, wrote on Twitter that a suspect was '5'9-5'10, overweight & wearing a dark jacket'.
Witnesses also told the Citizen that they saw a man wearing an 'Arabic scarf' and carrying a long rifle, while others said the suspect looked South American.

He said that the man jumped over a fence around Parliament Hill and forced someone out of their car, then drove to the front doors of the Parliament building and fired at least twice.
Reporter Jordan Press added that the car - a Toyota Corolla - was parked in front of the building with its engine still running.

A video shot by a Globe and Mail reporter showed RCMP officers moving through Parliament's main hall toward the Parliamentary library, as the hallway echoed with gunfire.

Other reporters inside the building described the panic in the hallways.

Update re: PhOtOs-ISIS Calls For More Attacks in Canada

Residents Scrub Hate Messages off Canadian Mosque

By Frazer Snowden, Reuters, 26 October 2014


COLD LAKE, Alberta, CANADA, Oct 24 (Reuters) -

Residents of the small Canadian city of Cold Lake gathered on Friday to scrub away hate messages that had been scrawled in paint on the walls of a mosque and replace them with posters reading "Love your neighbour" and "You are home."

The battle of words playing out on the facade of the Cold Lake Mosque follows two separate deadly attacks on Canadian soldiers this week by extremist Muslim converts, including one on Wednesday that spilled into Canada's parliament building.

Cold Lake is home to a Canadian air base that has deployed fighter jets against Islamic State militants in Iraq.

The mosque was hit overnight with red spraypainted graffiti reading "Go home" and its windows were smashed. By Friday afternoon, the community volunteers had removed the spray paint, fixed the windows and taped their posters up.

"These guys are peaceful, and I think it's important for the community to show them that we know the difference between extremists and a religion," Cold Lake resident Matt Downy said, bringing a vase of flowers to the mosque.

Imam Syed Soharwardy, founder of Muslims Against Violence in Calgary, told reporters earlier that the vandalism revealed "how fragile the situation can be if it is not properly managed."

Canada Flag Re: PhOtOs-ISIS Calls For More Attacks in Canada

'Follow the Footsteps of Our Brave Brother': ISIS Takes to Twitter to Call for MORE Attacks on Canada as it's Feared More Than 130 Young Muslims Have Already Left the Country to Join The Terror Group

  • Suspected terrorist attacks in Canada have sparked commentary from the online jihadist community on Twitter who are calling upon others to strike
  • 'Muslims in Canada, follow the footsteps of our brave brother Martin Rouleau who took revenge for Canadian military aggression in our lands,' wrote suspected jihadist Abu Khalid Al-Kanadi
  • The Canadian government estimates that over 130 Muslim youth have already left the country to join ISIS and that the number is growing
Daily Mail UK, 26 October 2014


After two terrorist attacks in Canada in a week left two Canadian soldiers dead, ISIS has stepped up its rhetoric calling for even more radicals to carry out mass murder and mayhem in the country.

An even more horrifying fact is that an estimated 130 Muslim youths in Canada have been seduced and radicalized by ISIS and have even left Canada behind to join forces with them.


The first attack happened Monday night - a hit-and-run by suspected jihadist Martin Rouleau.





Jihadist tweets: ISIS supporters have taken to Twitter to call upon more lone wolf terrorist attacks in Canada




The gunman: Alleged jihadist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was shot during an attack against Canadians on October 20 and supporters of ISIS have been glamorizing him online ever since


The second strike was carried out by a gunman on Wendesday on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. One of the shooters, Canadian national Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was shot dead

Ever since Canada announced their involvement in the coalition against ISIS, jihadist supporters have taken to Twitter to call for 'justice' in the hopes to shake the country’s nerves by instilling fear and terror.


One such Twitter account is that of Abu Khalid Al-Kanadi who has tweeted several calls for attack and commented on Rouleu's attack on October 21, 2014.

Quote:
'Muslims in Canada, follow the footsteps of our brave brother Martin Rouleau who took revenge for Canadian military aggression in our lands,' he wrote.


One day later his account was suspended.


Insite Blog reports that a second jihadist Twitter account posted on October 21 and said that Canada is 'starting to pay the price of intervention' of the war against ISIS and followed up with a second tweet urging more attacks.

Quote:
'A Canadian Revert killed a Canadian Soldier then he earned Shahada at the hands of the kuffar All This reward.. without evn leaving Canada.'




Gaining support: Jihadists are hoping that by posting their opinions on Twitter more youths will join ISIS


On the same user's Ask.fm account a different anonymous user commented on the fact that Rouleau attacked soldiers and not civilians.

'Rouleau was NOT cowardly...he attacked soldiers, not civilians.'
The writer of the post responded, 'yep..very true.'


Insite Blog adds that on the next day, the same jihadist commented on the shootings by saying;

Quote:
'Canadian Soldiers told to leave their uniforms at home when out in public. Now they are like their allies the Iraqi Army.'

A separate allegedly Canadian jihadist took to Twitter to post an article about Rouleau's shooting and wrote;

Quote:
'it was only a matter of time' ending with '#IS.'
For jihadists on Twitter, the attacks are not against fellow Canadian citizens, rather they believe they are against soldiers fighting the ISIS movement.
'u kill innocent Muslims in Syr, Irq and so on in the na,e of dfnding agnst terrorism and u lie to the masses, dnt be surprised.'





Spreading propaganda: Charismatic online personalities are calling upon youth to join forces with ISIS

The account of a fighter believed to be in Syria added,

Quote:

'After Canada decided to Bomb and murder Muslims, Supposedly just few bullets shook all of #Canada. Expected wasnt it? #Ottawashooting.'

The Twitter account of a Dutch jihadist militant in Syria stated something along the same lines with;

Quote:
'Bomb innocent people in Syria/Iraq and you expect roses and hus from Muslims back home? It's called action/reaction. Go figure.'

Another jihadist on Twitter referenced Canada's shock after the attacks and claims they should have 'expected' the retaliation.


Quote:
'It's always stunning when a country that has brought violence and military force to numerous countries acts shocked and bewildered. when someone brings a tiny faction of that violence back to that country. it's not the slightest bit surprising or difficulty to understand why people who identify with those on the other end of the Canadian bombs. and bullets would decide to attack the military responsible for that violence.'

The wave of Canadians joining ISIS has fueled citizens, many of them Muslim, to fight against the radicalization of youth in the country.






Shooting: Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot dead a soldier guarding the national war memorial before storming into the parliament on Wednesday and was later shot dead inside the parliament after firing multiple shots



One such person is Christianne Boudreau, whose son Damian Clairmont died fighting near the Syrian city of Aleppo for jihadist causes.

'My knees are shaking so please forgive me. I’m a mother, not a public speaker,' said Boudreau at the OWN IT 2014 conference in Calgary in early October.


The OWN IT conference calls upon Muslim families to come together and fight the radicalization of Muslim youth.

According to the Canadian government there are about 130 jihadist fighters who've left the country to fight but that the number is growing.
Unfortunately, the Muslim community estimates that the number is already much higher.

With the popularization of Twitter and online forums as tools to express beliefs worldwide, radical youths are able to lure in other supporters from around the globe.
ISIS uses Twitter to spread propaganda and call for lone wolf attacks.
These attackers are later revered as demigods and used as bait to call other into action.

The Star reports that having declared the Western world full of hypocrites, radicalized youth see themselves as the chosen ones, turning to online radical imams and charismatic leaders.

Community leaders have coined this jihadist online support movement the 'Sheikh Google' phenomenon.

A TRIBUTE to
Nathan. -The Incredible Soldier who was Shot Dead, Whilst Simply Just Doing His Duty for Canada



Canadian Reservist's Beloved Dogs Wait for Him to Return Home.... a Day After he was Needlessly
Shot Dead ...

  • Corporal Nathan Cirillo was gunned down as he stood guard at Canada's National War Memorial on Parliament Hill
  • The Hamilton, Ontario native was rushed to the hospital but later died
  • Cirillo, a fitness fanatic and animal lover, served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and worked as a personal trainer and bouncer
  • His mother, who is travelling to Ottawa, is 'completely broken', relatives said
  • Another constable Samearn Son was shot in the leg but is expected to make a full recovery
  • Cirillo's killer, Muslim convert Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, was shot dead after opening fire while wearing a scarf at Parliament Hill on Wednesday

  • Bibeau was the SON of Susan Bibeau, - a High-Ranking Official on the Immigration and Refuge Board of Canada





Where is he?
...Heartbreaking images show dogs peeking out from beneath Corporal Nathan Cirillo's family home on Thursday, a day after he was shot dead outside the Parliament







Forlorn: The two dogs peeked out from beneath the fence at the family's home in Hamilton, Ontario





Missed: Cirillo had two German shepherd-type dogs and recently nursed an abandoned puppy to health


Cirillo, who was shot dead as he stood guard at the National War Memorial outside the Canadian Parliament on Wednesday, also leaves behind a six-year-old son.

He was bringing up the boy, Marcus, alone - with help from his mother, Kathy - after the boy's mother was no longer in the picture, friends have said.

Now his son doesn't have a dad...

Cirillo's son is now expected to stay with his mother, Kathy, who has helped with his care




Tragic: The animal-loving Hamilton, Ontario native was shot at close range





Family: Cirillo leaves behind his Mum, two dogs and his six-year-old son Marcus, left





Waiting......





Gunned down: He had been in Ottawa because members of the Argylls were standing guard this week








Loss: 24-year-old Carillo served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in Hamilton, Ontario





Friends described Cirillo as a fitness fanatic. The 24-year-old worked part-time as a personal trainer as well as a bouncer at a Hamilton nightclub





Seconds before: A tourist snapped this photo, likely the last ever taken of Corporal Nathan Cirillo (left) before he was gunned down by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau in an attack on Ottowa's Parliament Hill on Wednesday





Paying respects: A man wearing an Argylls jacket places flowers at a memorial outside the gates of the John Weir Foote Armory, the home of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada






Loved: People sign a Canadian flag at a makeshift memorial to Cirillo outside of The Lieutenant-Colonel John Weir Foote Armoury in Hamilton, Ontario on Thursday
No matter how tired he was from back-to-back shifts, he lifted the mood of every room he entered.......


RIP Nathan...

Arrow Right Internet ISIS TERROR WARNING By GCHQ Spy Agency

Facebook and Twitter have Become 'Command and Control Network of Choice' for Isis, GCHQ Chief Warns

The Independant UK, 4 November 2014





Tech giants are in denial of role their play in helping terrorists to push their message on social media, Robert Hannigan says

US tech giants such as Twitter, Facebook and Whatsapp have become the "command and control networks of choice" for Isis, the new head of Britain’s GCHQ intelligence agency has warned.



Accusing the US and internet companies of being “in denial” over the role they play in terrorism, Robert Hannigan said Silicon Valley firms needed to co-operate more with the intelligence services to target the growth of extremist content online.

The use of social media by Isis has been a key element in Isis's propaganda and recruitment process.



Videos of the beheadings of British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning by Isis militants were posted on YouTube in an attempt to "exploit the power of the web to create a jihadi threat with near-global reach", Mr Hannigan warned in the Financial Times.

He said the fact the "grotesque" videos were self-censored and did not show the actual beheadings enabled the group to stay within the rules of social media sites in order to "capitalise on Western freedom of expression".

The jihadist group is also adept at using Twitter and Facebook in order to spread its message to a worldwide audience.

He highlighted Isis's sophisticated use of the World Cup and Ebola hashtags and its ability to send tens of thousands of tweets during an attack on Mosul without triggering spam controls as evidence of its ease with new media.

Mr Hannigan said:

"The extremists if Isis use messaging and social media services such as Twitter, Facebook and Whatsapp, and a language their peers understand.


The debate around states surveying personal communications came to the fore when US whistleblower Edward Snowden exposed the secret mass data collection programmes run by the US and UK authorities.

Mr Hannigan argued that it must be easier for security and intelligence agents to police online traffic, and said that users did not want their social networks used “to facilitate murder or child abuse”.

"GCHQ and its sister agencies, MI5 and the Secret Intelligence Service, cannot tackle these challenges at scale without greater support from the private sector, including the largest US technology companies which dominate the web," he wrote on his first day in the post.

He went on to write that while he understood why “[internet firms] have an uneasy relationship with governments” and aspire to be “neutral conduits of data and to sit outside or above politics”, they not only host the material of violent extremism or child exploitation, but facilitate crime and terrorism.

"However much they may dislike it, they have become the command-and-control networks of choice for terrorists and criminals, who find their services as transformational as the rest of us," he said.


Mr Hannigan conceded that GCHQ had to be accountable for the data it uses to protect people and was “happy to be part of a mature debate on privacy in the digital age.
But he went on to add:

“Privacy has never been an absolute right and the debate about this should not become a reason for postponing urgent and difficult decisions.
"To those of us who have to tackle the depressing end of human behaviour on the internet, it can seem that some technology companies are in denial about its misuse," he argued.

But Emma Carr, director of Big Brother Watch, said:

"It is wholly wrong to state that internet companies are failing to assist in investigations.
"The Government and agencies have consistently failed to provide evidence that internet companies are being actively obstructive.
"These companies have consistently proved through their own transparency reports that they help the intelligence agencies when it is appropriate for them to do so, which is in the vast majority of cases.
"Public debate on this issue would make the country stronger and more unified, yet we have so far failed to achieve this in the UK. Perpetuating falsehoods about the nature of relations between internet companies and the intelligence agencies is certainly not going to help," she added.


Whistleblowing Controversies of the Last Decade



WikiLeaks' US diplomatic cables leak
In 2009, former US soldier Chelsea Manning, downloaded hundreds of thousands of classified US Government documents, and passed them on to Jullian Assange's whistleblowing website WikiLeaks. Among the documents were 250,000 State Department diplomatic cables. One disclosed the close relationship between Russian President Vladimir Putin and then-Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the Guardian reported. Allegations included "lavish gifts", lucrative energy contracts and the use by Berlusconi of a "shadowy" Russian-speaking Italiango-between.

Another cable documented fears in Washington over Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme, in a volatile country with a strategic position in the Middle East.

Day four of the gradual drip of leaks exposed allegations that Russia and its intelligence agencies are using mafia bosses to carry out criminal operations, with one cable reporting that the relationship is so close that the country has become a "virtual mafia state".



Edward Snowden NSA leak
In 2013, The Guardian published classified US National Security Agency (NSA) documents, from a then anonymous whistleblower. Four days later he was exposed as former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. A month after the initial leak, the New York Times allegeded that the NSA received emails, video clips, photos, voice and video calls, social networking details, logins and other data held by a range of US internet firms.

Since Snowden revealed that the US had eavesdropped on German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone, German-US relations have been strained. In May 2014, Mrs Merkel said still had significant differences with the United States over surveillance practices and that it was too soon to return to “business as usual," according to the New York Times.

Default re: VIDEOS-ISIS -New Beheading >> US Aid Worker

ISIS Unveils its Osama Bin Laden School in Syria as the Islamist Group Continues its Reign of Terror in Rebel-Held Parts of the Country with Beheadings for ‘Blasphemy’ and ‘Sorcery’

  • Islamic State militants have set up 'Osama Bin Laden' school in Manbij, Syria
  • Facility has already started religious instruction classes for town residents
  • Students being taught about Islamic State's extremist brand of Sharia Law
  • Comes as pictures emerge of beheadings in ISIS strongold of Raqqa, Syria
  • Civilians had been sentenced to death for 'cursing God' and 'sorcery'
  • Photos show a large all-male crowd with children also watching execution
  • WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Daily Mail UK, 4 November 2014


Islamic State extremists have set up a new learning centre in Syria dubbed 'Osama Bin Laden' school.
The religious school, named after the mastermind of the the 9/11 attacks and former leader of Al Qaeda, has been set up in a town held by ISIS militants.
It comes as new pictures emerged showing the beheading of three civilians in Raqqa, another of Islamic State’s strongholds in the war-torn country.

Scroll down for video






Brutal: Pictures have emerged showing the beheading of three civilians in Raqqa, one of Islamic State’s strongholds in Syria




Disturbing: An executioner holds his sword aloft as armed guards watch on in front of an all-male crowd


The public executions were carried out with the victims accused of 'cursing God' and committing 'sorcery'.
The school has been opened in Manbij, a small ISIS held town in northern Syria.
The facility has already started religious instruction classes for residents living in the town, offering classes in Islamic State’s extremist brand of Sharia law.

A short propaganda video was also released by the provincial media branch of Islamic State.
The five minute film, entitled 'Sharia Educational Session for the Teachers', features brief interviews with a few residents of Manbij, discussing their opinions about the apparent positive benefits of the new religious school.
Manbij was once a Free Syrian Army (FSA) stronghold before it was overrun by ISIS.





Several young children can be seen watching from the front of the crowd while a number of masked gunmen also appear to be standing guard, monitoring the execution




The three civilians were reportedly put to death in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa for 'cursing God' and 'sorcery'


Fierce fighting with the FSA forced ISIS into its first withdrawal in January 2014. However the extremist group regrouped and re-captured the strategic town 18 days later.
Kurdish forces have repeatedly tried to capture the town but have come up short against tough Islamic State resistance.
The Kurds have recently called upon the Free Syrian Army to join them in their efforts to re-take Manbij.

In a rare act of defiance, locals in Manbij even demonstrated against Islamic State in May 2014, angered at the militant group’s harsh rule of governance over the city.

However the town remains under control of the extremist group.
Any rare acts of rebellion or questioning of Islamic State have always been brutally dealt with by the extremist group.

Recent photos of the execution of three civilians for 'cursing God' and 'sorcery' epitomise the brutal regime being maintained by Islamic State.
The victims were beheaded in front of a crowd of Muslims 'to serve as a deterrent to those who dare to criticise Allah,' it has been reported.

Shelling continues in major Syrian cities







An IS fighter, wearing a black balaclava, reads out the victims' crimes through a small black handheld microphone




The images show a large all-male crowd standing near a square in the city, where corporal punishments, like beheadings and crucifixions, have previously been carried out for crimes against the Islamic State


The images show a large all-male crowd standing near the main square in Raqqa, where corporal punishments, like beheadings and crucifixions, have previously been carried out for crimes against the Islamic State.
Several young children can be seen watching from the front of the crowd while a number of masked gunmen also appear to be standing guard, monitoring the execution.

One photo shows an IS fighter, wearing a black balaclava, reading out the victims' crimes through a small black handheld microphone.
All three of the victims are shown wearing a red blindfold and have their hands tied behind their back.
They appear to have been individually led to the execution block, a crude hand cut log with a raised notch for the victims to rest their head on.





A religious school, named after former Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden (pictured), has been set up in a town in Syria held by ISIS militants


The black flag of Islamic State can be seen flying from a tall flag pole in the background, near one of the main streets.
The executor is masked and wearing a pair of sandy-coloured military issue boots.
The photos show the executioner holding a curved sword above his head.
A small blood trail can be seen near the back of a nearby pick up truck. Its white boot has been left open so the bodies can be taken away from the execution site.

Like Minbaj, Raqqa has been one of the main bombing targets by the US-led coalition last month.
The headquarters of Islamic State were reportedly bombed yesterday in Raqqa.
The building, situated in the southern part of the city had been evacuated and no militants were reported to have been killed in the nine air strikes on the city.
Questions have been raised about the effectiveness of the air strikes with the British based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reporting that the recent strikes on Manbij had been a failure.

Shelling Continues in Major Syrian Cities

UN Report says 'Unprecedented' Number of Jihadists are Flocking to Join ISIS... Partly Thanks to the Terror Group's Love of Posting Kitten Photos on Twitter

  • 15,000 fighters from 80 countries have flocked to fight in Iraq and Syria
  • Numbers joining since 2010 exceed total from previous 20 years 'many times'
  • Jihadists from France, Russia and UK are operating together, says UN study
  • There are believed to be about 500 British nationals fighting in Syria and Iraq


Foreign jihadists from more than 80 countries have flocked to fight in Iraq and Syria on an 'unprecedented scale', according to extracts of a UN report.
Around 15,000 people have travelled to fight alongside Islamic State (ISIS) and other hardcore militant groups from 'countries that have not previously faced challenges relating to Al Qaeda,' it said.

The study found a new breed of terrorist was being attracted by the extremist group's 'cosmopolitan' use of social media, pointing to examples when jihadists posted 'kitten photographs' on Twitter.

ISIS leaders recognise 'the terror and recruitment value of multi-channel, multi-language social and other media messaging,' it added.

The number of foreign jihadists travelling to fight since 2010 exceeds the cumulative total of the 20 preceding years 'many times', the Security Council study found.

'There are instances of foreign terrorist fighters from France, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland operating together,' the report said, according to the Guardian.

Britain's top police officer, Bernard Hogan-Howe, estimated last week that five people a week were leaving the country to fight with ISIS.
Security officials estimate there are currently around 500 British nationals fighting in Syria and Iraq.

The UN report said ISIS leaders recognise 'the terror and recruitment value of multi-channel, multi-language social and other media messaging'


Dozens have been arrested for preparing to leave to join the IS group or helping others to do so.


France is also moving closer to adopting an 'anti-terrorism' law which would slap a travel ban on anyone suspected of planning to wage jihad.

The UN warned that more nations than ever face the problem of dealing with fighters returning from the battle zone.

The US Central Intelligence Agency last month announced figures showing that there were around 20,000 to 31,500 ISIS fighters active in Iraq and Syria, much higher than previous estimates.





Around 15,000 people have travelled to fight alongside Islamic State (ISIS) and other hardcore militant groups from 'countries that have not previously faced challenges relating to Al Qaeda,' the report said




The UN found that foreign fighters preferred ISIS's use of social media and were put off by the more dogmatic communication tactics of Al Qaeda


A US security official estimated that there were close to 2,000 westerners among the 15,000 foreign fighters.

Previous figures showed there were 7,000 foreign jihadists fighting in March and 12,000 in July suggesting 1,000 a month were travelling to fight, despite the launch of U.S. air strikes three months ago, although there is a lag of a few weeks in the figures.

The report was produced by a committee that monitors Al Qaeda and concluded that the once mighty and feared group was now 'maneuvering for relevance' following the rise of the even more militant ISIS, which was booted out of Al Qaeda by leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Despite the split, the UN concluded that the legal basis for US President Barack Obama's fight against ISIS was justified by its ideological congruence with Al Qaeda and considered the two groups as part of a broader movement.





Huge support: Fighters from the Islamic State march through their stronghold of Raqqa in Syria


'Al Qaeda core and Isil (ISIS) pursue similar strategic goals, albeit with tactical differences regarding sequencing and substantive differences about personal leadership,' the UN wrote.

Obama has vowed he will not order a large force into combat in Iraq or Syria, relying instead on air power and local forces.

But his 'no boots on the ground' pledge is coming under pressure amid growing calls for advisers and forward air controllers to deploy with Iraqi or Kurdish soldiers to help direct air raids and plan operations.


The ISIS group's 'cosmopolitan' use of social media, 'as when extremists post kitten photographs', was attracting a new breed of foreign fighters who are put off by the more dogmatic communication tactics of Al Qaeda, said the report.

The UN agreed with the Obama administration that 'core al-Qaeda remains weak', but argued that its demise had only paved the way for more bloody groups, for whom 'cross-border attacks - or attacks against international targets - remain a minority.'

Update re: PhOtOs-Terror Warning for UK Tourists +Threat Level Raised

Terror Warning for UK Tourists: Foreign Office Updates Travel Advice for all Global Destinations to say Britons Face 'Heightened Threat' of Attack from ISIS Supporters


Britons travelling abroad are being warned that they could be targeted by terrorists seeking revenge for UK air strikes against Islamic State extremists.

The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for all destinations across the globe that British nationals faced a 'heightened threat' of attack from 'groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria'.

It urges all Britons living or travelling overseas to be 'vigilant' at the current time.


Daily Mail UK, 6 November 2014




Threat: Britons travelling abroad are being warned that they could be targeted by terrorists seeking revenge for UK air strikes against Islamic State extremists (pictured)


The FCO said that it was responding to the 'generalised threat' rather than warnings of a specific attack.
The move comes after Home Secretary Theresa May announced in August that the UK national terror threat level had been raised from 'substantial' to 'severe', meaning an attack is considered 'highly likely'.

Last month, Parliament gave the go-ahead for the RAF to carry out air strikes against IS forces in Iraq and the Government has been supplying arms to the Kurdish peshmerga militias fighting the extremists.
The updated FCO advice states:

'There is considered to be a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria. You should be vigilant at this time.'

Default re: VIDEOS-ISIS -New Beheading >> US Aid Worker

Now Jihadi Fighters are Booking Tickets on Cruise Ships to Join Extremists in Syria and Iraq

  • Jihadists hoping to bypass efforts to thwart them in neighbouring Turkey
  • According to Interpol, the phenomenon has been used for three months
  • Interpol now wants to expand I-Checkit programme - where airlines share information from its databases - to include cruise operations
Daily Mail UK, 7 November 2014


Would-be jihadi fighters are booking tickets on cruise ships to join extremists in battle zones in Syria and Iraq.


The new tactic has been deployed by jihadists hoping to bypass the stepped-up efforts to thwart them in neighbouring Turkey.
According to Interpol officials, the phenomenon is relatively new and has been used by would-be fighters in the last three months.





Would-be jihadi fighters are travelling on cruise ships to try and join extremist groups in Syria and Iraq


Turkey, with its long and often porous border with Syria, has been a major thoroughfare for many of the thousands of foreign fighters seeking to join extremists like ISIS, which has captured territory across Iraq and Syria.
Turkish authorities say they have set up teams to capture suspected foreign fighters in airports and bus stations, and have deported hundreds in recent months.

As such, would-be jihadists have made alternative travel arrangements to reach battle zones.

Pierre St. Hilaire, director of counterterrorism at Interpol, said:

'Because they know the airports are monitored more closely now, there's a use of cruise ships to travel to those areas.
'There is evidence that the individuals, especially in Europe, are traveling mostly to Izmit and other places to engage in this type of activity,' he said, referring to a Turkish coastal town.
'Originally, our concern about people on cruise ships - dangerous people on cruise ships - really focused on the classic sort of rapist, burglar, or violent criminal.
'But as we've gathered data, we've realised that there are more and more reports that people are using cruise ships in order to get to launch pads, if you will - sort of closer to the conflict zones - of Syria and Iraq.'





The outgoing Interpol chief called on countries to step up screening at all transportation hubs to halt the advance of extreme groups such as ISIS


Cruise ships, which often make repeated stops, offer an added benefit by allowing would-be jihadis to hop off undetected at any number of ports - making efforts to track them more difficult.

Mr St. Hilaire said it wasn't exactly clear yet how many would-be foreign fighters were travelling by cruise ship to reach Syria.
He added that some people have driven all the way from their homes in Europe to the Syrian border to avoid passing through airports.

He was quick to caution that Europe is by no means the only or even the main source of foreign fighters for Syria.

'It's a global threat - 15,000 fighters or more from 81 countries traveling to one specific conflict zone,' he said, noting that that there are some 300 from China alone. 'In order to prevent their travel and identify them, there needs to be greater information-sharing among the region, among national security agencies.'

Speaking in Monaco, where Interpol is holding its general assembly this week, outgoing chief Ronald Noble confirmed that Turkey was a destination, but declined to identify any others.
He also refused to indicate how many people might be involved, but called on countries to step up screening at all transportation hubs - 'airports and, more and more, cruise lines.'

This is one of the reasons why the international police body is preparing to expand a pilot programme known as I-Checkit, where airlines share passenger information off Interpol's databases - in the hope that one day the system could expand to include cruise operators, banks, hotels and other private-sector partners.

Many European governments have expressed concern that home-grown jihadis who self-radicalise online and then travel to Syria will return home with skills to carry out terror attacks.

Frenchman Mehdi Nemmouche, who allegedly spent a year in Syria and fought with Islamic State, is the chief suspect in a May attack on the Jewish Museum of Brussels that killed four people.

Arrow Right PhOtOs-Lethal 'White Widow' ISIS Terrorist Killed in Ukraine

Wanted British 'White Widow Terrorist Killed in Ukraine', -Claims Russian News Agency

  • Lewthwaite was reported last month as fighting for the ISIS terrorists
  • She was reportedly gunned down by a Russian sniper two weeks ago
  • The claim was made by Regnum news agency in Moscow
  • The extraordinary claim that the 30-year-old is dead has yet to be verified
  • Claims come amid huge build up of Russian armour and troops in Ukraine
By AP, 12 November 2014


A dangerous British woman terrorist suspect, dubbed the 'White Widow' has been killed in Ukraine, it was claimed today, Wednesday.
Samantha Lewthwaite, 30, was gunned down by a Russian sniper two weeks ago, alleged Regnum news agency in Moscow.
One of Britain's most wanted people, she was reported last month as fighting for the Islamic State's terrorists in Syria.

The extraordinary Russian claim could not be verified last night.





A British woman terrorist suspect dubbed the 'White Widow' has been killed in Ukraine, it was claimed on Wednesday



Lewthwaite was married to 7/7 suicide bomber Germaine Lindsay, 19, a Jamaican-born Yorkshireman, and allegedly left Britain in 2009 before being linked to atrocities in Africa.

'One of the world's most wanted terrorists Samantha Lewthwaite, who fought as part of a Ukrainian battalion has been killed by a volunteer sniper,' said the news agency report.

'According to our information, the White Widow fought on the side of Ukrainian volunteer battalion Aidar as a sniper.
She was killed by 'a volunteer sniper who came to fight at the Lugansk front from Russia'.

The report continued: 'The Russian sniper who killed the British terrorist now has a price of nearly one million dollars on his head from Ukrainian special services.'


The extraordinary unconfirmed claim came amid a welter of propaganda from Moscow and Kiev over the Ukrainian crisis.

The claim that Lewthwaite is dead could be an attempt by Russia to bolster its anti-terrorism credentials at a time when it is controversially massing armour and troops in Ukraine.

Nato today warned that Russian military equipment is entering Ukraine on a large-scale.

Reports last month claimed Lewthwaite - a former soldier's daughter - joined Islamic State earlier this year and became one of the most powerful women in the network

'Across the last two days we have seen the same thing that OSCE is reporting. We have seen columns of Russian equipment, primarily Russian tanks, Russian artillery, Russian air defence systems and Russian combat troops entering into Ukraine,' said US General Philip Breedlove, supreme allied commander.

The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said: 'The level of violence in eastern Ukraine and the risk of further escalation remain high and are rising,' said Michael Bociurkiw of the OSCE's Special Monitoring Mission.

In response, Ukraine has said that it's preparing for all-out war.


Ukrainian Defence Minister Stepan Poltorak told a cabinet meeting:

'The main task I see is to prepare for combat operations. We are doing this, we are readying our reserves.'

Reports last month claimed Lewthwaite - a former soldier's daughter - joined Islamic State earlier this year and became one of the most powerful women in the network.


Born in Northern Ireland and schooled in Aylesbury, she was not previously linked to Ukraine.

She was responsible for training a special team of female suicide bombers in Syria, it was alleged.

Lewthwaite allegedly trained and mentored British converts who volunteered to fight for ISIS.

The 7/7 attack on the London transport network on 7 July 2005 killed 52 people.

Lewthwaite had been viewed as the innocent Home Counties' wife of a suicide bomber but was later seen as...

'the world's most dangerous female terrorist'.



In June 2012 two men and a white woman - believed to be her - wearing Islamic dress killed three and injured 25 at a beer garden in Mombasa after throwing grenades at foreigners watching England play Italy at Euro 2012.
She was also linked to another grenade attack which killed security guards in an upmarket restaurant + the attack at an African mall

  • Video purporting to show Peter Kassig's severed head released Sunday
  • Hostage's parents have released emotional statement about his 'death'
  • Said they hoped war veteran, 26, would be remembered for his aid work
  • Added they were waiting for U.S. Government to confirm if video is real
  • Mr Kassig was captured in Syria in October last year while providing aid
  • Video of his 'murder' also shows execution of dozens of Syrian soldiers
  • Militant warns Obama that ISIS 'will slaughter your people in your streets'
  • In last letter to parents, received in June, Peter said he was 'scared' to die
  • White House said intelligence agencies are examining latest ISIS video

  • Daily Mail UK, 16 November 2014

The parents of American aid worker Peter Kassig today issued an emotional statement following the apparent beheading of their 'treasured' son at the hands of Islamic State militants.
In the release, Ed and Paula Kassig, of Indianapolis, said they hoped the 26-year-old war veteran would be remembered for his 'important work' and the love he shared with his friends and family.

They added that they were waiting for the U.S. Government to verify the authenticity of a 16-minute long ISIS propaganda video purporting to show a militant standing over Peter's severed head.


'We are aware of the news reports being circulated about our treasured son and are waiting for confirmation from the government as to the authenticity of these reports,' said Mr and Mrs Kassig.

Awaiting confirmation: Paula and Ed Kassig (both pictured) today issued an emotional statement following the apparent beheading of their 'treasured' son and aid worker Peter at the hands of Islamic State militants


Quote:
THE KASSIG FAMILY'S STATEMENT 'We are aware of the news reports being circulated about our treasured son and are waiting for confirmation from the government as to the authenticity of these reports. We will have no other statement at this time and ask that you please respect our privacy.
'The family respectfully asks that the news media avoid playing into the hostage takers’ hands and refrain from publishing or broadcasting photographs or video distributed by the hostage takers.
'We prefer our son is written about and remembered for his important work and the love he shared with friends and family, not in the manner the hostage takers would use to manipulate Americans and further their cause.'



'Murdered': In the release, the Kassigs, of Indianapolis, said they hoped the 26-year-old war veteran (pictured) would be remembered for his 'important work' abroad and the love he shared with his friends and family





Family: Mr and Mrs Kassig are seen with Peter - who changed his name to Abdul-Rahman - in an old photo


'We prefer our son is written about and remembered for his important work and the love he shared with friends and family, not in the manner the hostage takers would use to manipulate Americans and further their cause.
'The family respectfully asks that the news media avoid playing into the hostage takers’ hands and refrain from publishing or broadcasting photographs or video distributed by the hostage takers.'

The video claiming to show Peter's severed head - which was released by the terror group on Sunday morning - also featured the graphic mass murder of dozens of Syrian soldiers and airmen.


Footage shows the victims being led to a place in the desert by uniformed jihadis who each pick up a knife before sawing off victims' heads. The militants claim U.S. soldiers will meet a similar fate.


Quote:
Speaking in the now-familiar London accent of ISIS executioner-***-spokesman Jihadi John, a masked jihadist warns:

'To Obama, the dog of Rome. Today we are slaughtering the soldiers of Bashar and tomorrow we will be slaughtering your soldiers.
'And with Allah’s permission we will break this final and last crusade. And the Islamic State will soon, like your puppet David Cameron said, begin to slaughter your people in your streets.’



Boastful: The Kassigs added that they were waiting for the U.S. Government to verify the authenticity of a 16-minute long ISIS video purporting to show a militant (pictured) standing over Peter's severed head




Last seen:It comes a month after Peter - who changed his name to Abdul-Rahman after converting to Islam - was paraded at the end of a graphic video (pictured) showing the murder of British aid worker Alan Henning





Unsettling: The video also shows the mass murder of Syrian military personnel by beheading led by Jihadi John at a desert location. Unlike the murder of Western hostages, the killing of the Syrians is shown in full


It comes a month after Peter - who changed his name to Abdul-Rahman after converting to Islam - was paraded at the end of a graphic video showing the murder of British aid worker Alan Henning.

According to the White House, U.S. intelligence agencies are currently trying to determine whether the latest video by ISIS, which now controls a third of Syria and Iraq, is real.

National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said that if the video was authentic, the administration would be 'appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American.'
She added that the White House expresses its deepest condolences to Peter's family and friends.

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was 'horrified by the cold blooded murder' of Peter and claimed that Islamic State militants 'have again shown their depravity'.

Mr Kassig was captured in Syria in October last year while providing medical training and humanitarian aid to victims of the country's conflict.

Previous beheading videos showed a desert landscape but in this latest release appears to be in front of a town with fields in the distance. Mr Kassig's apparent murder is not shown.
At the end of the video, which intersperses various executions with file footage of U.S. forces in Iraq and later clips of Islamic State battles, a bloodied, decapitated head is shown at the feet of a militant wearing khaki boots.

The masked militant may be Jihadi John, the man believed be from Britain who wielded the knife in four previous murders of Western hostages.
His voice sounds similar to the voice of the masked militant who has featured in previous videos. and he has what sounds like a London accent despite his voice being distorted.

However, the news of Peter's death broke hours after Jihadi John was reportedly injured in U.S. airstrikes on Saturday night.






Bloodthirsty: The video shows in full graphic detail how the militants saw the heads off their victims

Tragic: Peter is pictured cradling an injured kitten that he and a friend rescued and nursed back to health (left) and smiling in his high school graduation portrait from North Central High School in Indianapolis (right)



Peter Kassig's parents make plea to ISIS for son's return:






In the video, the militant says:

Quote:

'This is Peter Edward Kassig, a U.S. citizen of your country. Peter, who fought against the Muslims in Iraq while serving as a soldier under the American army, doesn't have much to say. His previous cell mates have already spoken on his behalf.

'But we say to you Obama ... you claim to have withdrawn from Iraq four years ago. We said to you then that you are liars, that you have not withdrawn and that if you had withdrawn that you would return, even if after some time.

'You would return. Here you are. You have not withdrawn. Rather, you hid some of your forces behind your proxies and withdrawn the rest. Your forces will return, greater in number than they were before. You will return and your proxies will not benefit you.'And we also remind you of the haunting words that our Sheikh Abu Musab al-Zarqawi told you. The spark has been lit here in Iraq and its heat will continue to intensify by Allah's permission until it burns the crusader army in Dabiq.
'And here we are, burying the first crusader in Dabiq. Eagerly awaiting for the remainder of your armies to arrive.'

A dateline on the video says it has been shot in Dabiq, which is the location where Islamic State militants believe a decisive final battle will be fought with Western forces.



Footage also shows the militant leading the mass execution of Syrian military personnel by jihadis at a desert location.
Unlike the apparent murders of Western hostages, in which the camera cuts away at the moment their throats are cut, these killings are shown in full.

It comes five months after Peter wrote a final letter to his parents, in which he revealed that he was 'scared to die' and saddened by the pain the ordeal has caused his family, BBC News reported.

In the letter, which the Kassigs received on June 2, he wrote: 'I am obviously pretty scared to die but the hardest part is not knowing, wondering, hoping, and wondering if I should even hope at all.'





Aid: Mr Kassig in front of a truck somewhere along the Syrian border between late 2012 and autumn 2013





Helping others: National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said that if the latest video was authentic, the administration would be 'appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American'




Shocked: British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was 'horrified by the cold blooded murder' of Peter and claimed that Islamic State (also known as ISIL) militants 'have again shown their depravity'



Peter continued: 'If I do die, I figure that at least you and I can seek refuge and comfort in knowing that I went out as a result of trying to alleviate suffering and helping those in need.'
The hostage told his parents that he prayed every day and was not angry about his situation 'in terms of my faith'. The letter ended with the words: 'I love you.'

Mr Kassig's parents broke their silence over his captivity last month because 'the dynamics' had changed and they feared for his life.

Their son had formed the aid organisation Special Emergency Response and Assistance, or SERA, in Turkey to provide aid and assistance to Syrian refugees.
He began delivering food and medical supplies to Syrian refugee camps in 2012 and was also a trained medical assistant who provided trauma care to injured Syrian civilians and helped train 150 civilians in providing medical aid.

Mr and Mrs Kassig said they had been doing all they could to free their son but were silent about his plight for a year at the instructions of the IS militants. Mr Kassig told U.S. show CBS This Morning: 'They demand. They simply demand.'
His wife added: 'We have sent them back messages that we cannot do what you ask. We have tried. But we don't have the power to do it.'

Mrs Kassig told NBC's Today show that the couple received an audio recording of their son in which he said he thought his time was running out.

The couple also released excerpts from a letter written by Peter in which he feared 'it may very well be coming down to the wire here'.

The latest video is the fourth time this year that IS has published footage showing the murder of Western hostages.
The beheading of American journalist James Foley was released online in August, while videos of the killings of British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning were posted in September and October, respectively.

A British Muslim leader condemned the latest killing. Shaukat Warraich, editor of Imamsonline.com, said:

'The murder of Abdul-Rahman Kassig is an affront to Islam. The murderous criminals are a stain on humanity and their wicked ways must be stopped.
'To take the life of another, one whose life has been dedicated to providing aid to our brothers and sisters suffering in Syria, Iraq and the surrounding regions further highlights the inhumane, revolting and unIslamic terrorists for what they really are.'


Former British prime minister Sir John Major described the murder as '13th-century barbarism'.





Speaking out: Mr Kassig's parents broke their silence over his captivity last month because 'the dynamics' had changed and they feared for his life. Mr Kassig told U.S. show CBS that the militants 'simply demand'






Desperate: Last month, the couple appealed directly to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi on Twitter, begging him to spare their only son's life. Above, Mrs Kassig's tweet, featuring a letter to al Baghdadi



He told BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show:

'The people they are murdering, which makes it doubly worse, triply worse, are people who actually went there to help those in difficulty and in need.
'They are being murdered in the most brutal ways, almost beyond belief.'

On whether Britain is in a position to do something about the situation, Sir John added: 'I don't think we can do all that much about it alone, but can we contribute to helping other people to do something about it - I think the answer is undoubtedly yes.

Though unless we want the old argument that the crusaders have come in to attack, we really need to support other Arabs on the ground and use our power in other ways to help them - surveillance, training, provide weapons and so forth - I think that is a proper role for us.'

Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said: 'If this video is authenticated, all of us in the UK will feel revulsion at this latest sickening murder. It only emphasises the scale of the threat posed by Isil and the importance of the international community working together to confront that threat.'

The militant Islamic State group has beheaded and shot dead hundreds of captives - mainly Syrian and Iraqi soldiers - during its sweep across the two countries, and has celebrated mass killings in a series of slickly produced but extremely graphic videos.
The group has declared an Islamic caliphate in the areas under its control in Syria and Iraq, which it governs according to a harsh version of Shariah law.

The U.S. began launching air strikes in Iraq and Syria earlier this year in a bid to halt the group's rapid advance and eventually degrade and destroy it.

TIMELINE OF BRUTAL ISLAMIC STATE KILLINGS
By Neil Lancefield, Press Association

The murder of US aid worker Peter Kassig was the fifth such killing to be filmed and released by the Islamic State (IS). Here is a timeline of events, starting with the days leading up to the death of the first hostage, US journalist James Foley.
  • Summer 2014 - A rescue mission fails to free Mr Foley from a secret location where he is being held by IS. The American freelance journalist, 40, was captured two years earlier.
  • August 13: Mr Foley's family receive a message that he will be murdered.
  • August 19: al-Furqan Media, which is controlled by the terror group, releases a video appearing to show Mr Foley's killing. His death apparently happened at some time in the previous week.

EXCLUSIVE: GOT HIM!
-'Jihadi John' is Wounded in US Airstrike That Killed 10 Top ISIS Commanders at Secret Bunker Meeting in Iraq'

  • Jihadi John was in a bunker in northern Iraq with the leader of ISIS
  • A US airstrike destroyed the bunker, killing an estimated 10 ISIS leaders
  • Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was believed to have been injured in the airstrike
  • The Foreign Office confirmed they are investigating reports the injuries
  • A nurse claimed one of the men was the man who 'slaughtered journalists'
Daily Mail UK, 16 November 2014


Jihadi John, the Briton who beheaded British and American hostages held by Islamic State terrorists, has been injured in a US-led air strike, according to reports received by the UK Foreign Office.


The masked ‘executioner’ with a London accent is believed to have narrowly escaped death when he attended a summit of the group’s leaders in an Iraqi town close to the Syrian border last Saturday.
The meeting was targeted by American and Iraqi jets.

Scroll down for video






The US Air Force attacked a bunker where Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and Jihadi John were meeting in Iraq



‘We are aware of reports that this individual [Jihadi John] has been injured, and we are looking into them,’ a UK Foreign Office spokesman told The Mail on Sunday.

This newspaper has received an independent account of how Jihadi John was injured and rushed to hospital after a devastating air strike in Al Qaim, in Anbar Province, Western Iraq.


The UK Foreign Office spokesman added:

‘We have a number of sources of information coming in.
‘The incident occurred last weekend, and so we have received the reports in the last few days. We don’t have any representation inside Syria, and so it is difficult to confirm these reports.’


The Foreign Office also issued an official statement saying:

‘We are aware of reports. We cannot confirm these reports.’

A spokesman for US Central Command said they were unable to confirm the details for security reasons.

The joint US-Iraqi mission left at least ten IS commanders dead, and around 40 injured.
Those reportedly hurt, or killed, included IS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.

But until now, Jihadi John’s presence at the meeting has not emerged.
It is also not known whether Jihadi John was intentionally targeted or merely happened to be present.



The secret, heavily guarded meeting took place last Saturday in a makeshift underground bunker beneath a house in Al Qaim. At least 30 tribal elders from various parts of Syria and Iraq gathered to pledge allegiance to Al-Baghdadi, according to our well-placed Syrian source. He said Jihadi John, as a senior IS figure in his own right, who goes by the nomme de guerre Jalman Al-Britani, was also present.

Cameron: 'I want Jihadi John to face justice'









Sources claim that Jihadi John, pictured, was injured and rushed to hospital following the surgical airstrike in Iraq which killed ten ISIS commanders, the killer, who has a London accent, murdered Steven Sotloff and other hostages



According to our source, a nurse who treated the wounded in a hospital in Deir-ez-Zour, confirmed that one of the names on the injured list was Jalman, saying it was ‘the one who slaughtered the journalists’.

It is not clear how seriously the British fanatic was hurt, but the source said that both he and Al-Baghdadi were rushed to the Al Qaim General Hospital for treatment.

IS members issued urgent calls through the local mosque’s loudspeakers, appealing for the town’s residents to donate blood at the hospital.

Our source, who does not want to be identified for his own safety, added that Jihadi John, Al-Baghdadi and the other wounded IS personnel were then driven to Syria, and travelling 200 miles north along the Euphrates valley to the IS stronghold of Raqqa.

The injured were taken to two captured Syrian army barracks near the city in the hope that underground medical facilities there would provide protection against further air strikes.

The source said that hospitals in Raqqa and nearby Deir-ez-Zour were ordered to take their medical supplies and staff to the secure bases, once the HQs of the Assad regime’s 17th Division and 93rd Brigade.

Jihadi John has become one of the world’s most hunted terrorists after beheading British aid workers David Haines, 44, from Perth, and Alan Henning, 47, from Manchester; and American journalists James Foley, 40, and Steven Sotloff, 31.

Footage of the atrocities has been released online, and in the most recent gruesome execution video of Mr Henning, put out last month, the murderer threatened to behead another US hostage, Peter Kassig, 26, an aid worker...... which has now apparently happened...

British journalist John Cantlie, also held hostage, has been forced to appear in a series of internet propaganda videos for IS.

Our source, who has contacts with the IS leadership in Syria, also throws fresh light on the role played by Jihadi John within the terrorist group.
Unlike most other western Muslim recruits, he has risen to a position of some seniority.
Normally, Western fighters occupy lowly positions, mainly being used as foot soldiers or performing guard duty. Although believed to formerly have been a prison guard for IS, Jihadi John was made a member of a shura council, or governing body, of an IS ‘wilayat’, or province.

IS is now controlling large areas of Syria and Iraq, which it has declared an Islamic caliphate. Jihadi John is understood to be in the shura council for the wilayat of Al Furat, an area that straddles the Syria-Iraq border and includes Al Qaim, the scene of the air strike.

Our source added that Jihadi John does not live in Raqqa, but in Al Bukamal, a small desert town which borders Iraq.
He is aged between 28 and 31, and is fluent in English, Arabic and classical Arabic, the language of the Koran.
According to our source. He first joined IS in Iraq when he left the UK, but then moved to Syria.






The raid is believed to have injured or killed, the leader of ISIS Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, pictured


The source said that 'Jihadi John' usually travels in a black Audi jeep, and he has six other British terrorists with him who act as his bodyguards.


In the confusion following the bombing last weekend, rumours swiftly spread that IS leader Al-Baghdadi had been killed.

Last week, in order to scotch those rumours, he issued a 17-minute audio recording, exhorting extremists to ‘erupt volcanoes of jihad everywhere’.

The Mail on Sunday has obtained an Iraqi intelligence document from the Federal Intelligence and Investigation unit of the Ministry of Interior, which outlines last Saturday’s attack.

The document said that Al-Baghdadi was wearing black and first went to a kindergarten building before going to have lunch at an IS leader’s house.
It is believed that the air strikes took place when he was meeting the other leaders in a bunker beneath that property.





It is understood that Jihadi John has been moved to the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa in Syria, pictured



Muhammad Nasser Delli, an MP for Anbar province, told The Mail on Sunday that local residents confirmed to him that they saw Al-Baghdadi being treated at Al Qaim.
He said:

‘A number of people saw him there, but he did not stay at the hospital long. There were lots of women and children that were killed on Saturday during the air strikes.’

The Iraqi intelligence paper also states that Al-Baghdadi was taken to Al Qaim hospital, before being driven to Syria.

It lists 16 IS leaders as having been killed in the attack, and nine injured.

Among the dead are;

Abu Huzaifa Al-Adnany, a security guard to Al-Baghdadi, and Abu Quatayba, the cleric of Al Furat wilaya, who would sit in the same shura council as 'Jihadi John'.
Also dead is a prominent IS fighter from Chechnya called Abu Abdul Rahman Al-Shishani, says the document.

Update re: VIDEOs>Dungeon That Held Starving Hostages +Kurds Break ISIS Siege

World Coalition Actions Have Weakened Islamic State

3 December 2014, By Lesley Wroughton and Adrian Croft, Reuters

BRUSSELS, Dec 3 (Reuters) - The coalition has inflicted serious damage on Islamic State, carrying out around 1,000 air strikes so far in Iraq and Syria, but the fight against the militants could last years, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Wednesday.


The United States and its allies began air strikes against Islamic State after the Sunni militants made large territorial advances last summer. The Iraqi army, Sunni tribal fighters and Kurdish forces have since recovered some ground against them.

"Our commitment will be measured most likely in years but our efforts are already having a significant impact," Kerry said at the start of a first meeting of ministers from a coalition of more than 60 countries that Washington has assembled to destroy Islamic State, which is also known as Daesh.
"The roughly 1,000 coalition air missions we have flown have reduced Daesh's leadership and inflicted damage on its logistical and operational capabilities."

Kerry said Islamic State's momentum in Iraq had dissipated and Iraqi forces had retaken territory around Mosul and in Tikrit and had expanded security around some oil refineries.
In northern and western Iraq, Kurdish troops are battling Islamic State, while Sunni tribal fighters are "beginning to come on board," Kerry added.

In Syria, he said Islamic State command facilities had been destroyed, oil infrastructure damaged and a siege of the border town of Kobani blocked.

"It is much harder now than when we started for Daesh to assemble forces in strength, to travel in convoys and to launch concerted attacks," Kerry said. "No large Daesh unit can move forward aggressively without worrying what will come down on it from the skies."

The U.S.-chaired meeting was held at NATO headquarters in Brussels, but Kerry stressed it was not a NATO event.

Washington wants to discuss political coordination among coalition members but otherwise officials have been vague about the aims of the meeting.

Kerry praised the role of Arab states in the fight against Islamic State. Apart from Iraq, the meeting had 60 representatives from countries around the world, including Kuwait, Bahrain and Morocco.

Kerry, who held talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi before the meeting, also hailed "the significant progress" the new Baghdad government was making to implement a national programme and to unite against Islamic State.

Kerry cited Baghdad's agreement this week with Kurds on oil exports and revenue and its order for the release of detainees held without formal charges.

The Enemy of my Enemy: Pentagon Confirms Iran has Launched Airstrikes Alongside U.S. and UK in Fight Against ISIS

  • Iran has launched several airstrikes against ISIS in recent days
  • Attacks in eastern Iraq are not coordinated with coalition forces
  • Tehran has not been invited to join the coalition, Pentagon said
  • Shortly after strikes were confirmed, Iran's ambassador to Yemen was targeted in suicide bomb attack


Iran has joined the fight against ISIS and has launched airstrikes against militants in eastern Iraq, Pentagon said today.

Tehran has targeted ISIS in recent days, but is not coordinating attacks with the U.S. and the UK, and has not been invited to join the coalition, a Pentagon spokesman said.
Rear Admiral John Kirby says the U.S. believes this may be the first time Tehran has launched manned aircraft from inside Iran to strike targets in Iraq.

Joining forces: Iran has launched airstrikes against militants in eastern Iraq alongside coalition forces (pictured is two U.S. Navy F-18E Super Hornets over Iran



The fight against ISIS has seen Tehran and the Washington set aside their customary hostility to battle a common enemy which both governments view as a dangerous threat.

Earlier this week, an F-4 fighter, similar to those used by the Iranian air force, was filmed attacking targets in the eastern province of Diyala, and its nationality was confirmed by Pentagon yesterday.

'We have indications that they [Iran] did indeed fly air strikes with F-4 Phantoms in the past several days,' Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said.

Iranian forces have been active on the ground in Iraq assisting Shiite militia and Baghdad government units, but this was the first time the United States had confirmed the Iranian air force was conducting strikes against the IS group.
Kirby said the United States was not coordinating with Iranian forces and that it was up to the Iraqi government to oversee military flights by different countries.

Possible retaliation: Iranian ambassador Hassan Sayed Nam was not in the house when the attack took place






Suicide mission: Witnesses say a suicide attacker drove a car laden with explosives at the residence of the Iranian ambassador in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, but this has not been confirmed



'We are flying missions over Iraq. We coordinate with the Iraqi government as we conduct those. It's up to the Iraqi government to deconflict that air space,' Kirby told reporters.
'Nothing has changed about our policy of not coordinating military activity with the Iranians.'

Shortly after Tehran's airstrikes were confirmed, Iran's ambassador to Yemen was targeted in a bomb attack in the capital of Sanaa.
A car bomb detonated outside the residence of Ambassador Hassan Sayed Nam in Sanaa this morning, killing at least three people, security officials and witnesses said.


The ambassador was not in the house when the attack took place, and it was not immediately clear whether the attack was in retaliation for Iran's airstrikes against ISIS.
It is also not known if the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber or if the device was remotely detonated.

Shiite-ruled Iran has close ties to the Shia-led government in Baghdad, and Tehran quickly came to the government's aid after the Sunni jihadists overran Iraqi army units in western and northern Iraq earlier this year.

Iran also has provided weapons to ****e fighters in Iraq and several fighter jets, amid widespread speculation that the planes are flown by Iranian pilots.
The commander of Iran's elite Quds Force, Major General Qassem Suleimani, led a counter-attack in Iraq over the summer that pushed back IS militants from a key route leading from Samarra to Baghdad, according to Lebanon's Shiite movement Hezbollah.



Even if there is no direct communication between Iranian and U.S. forces, the Americans likely would be aware and easily monitor flights over Iraq by Iran's less sophisticated air fleet, which uses a fighter jet that dates back to the Vietnam War





A F-4 fighter, similar to those used by the Iranian air force, was filmed by Al Jazeera attacking targets in the eastern province of Diyala (pictured)


A US air command center in Qatar coordinates American fighters, bombers, drones and surveillance aircraft flying round-the-clock missions over Iraq along with other coalition warplanes from European governments as well as Australia and Canada.

The onslaught of the IS in Iraq has forged an unlikely alignment between Iran and the United States, which have been locked in a cold war for more than three decades.


The fight against the IS has come amid a US diplomatic drive to agree a deal with Iran over its nuclear program, and officials acknowledge the two sides have discussed the war in Iraq on the margins of the nuclear talks.
But the two rivals remain deeply opposed over Syria, with Iran providing crucial military backing for President Bashar al-Assad while Washington has vowed to train a moderate rebel force to eventually confront the Damascus regime.

Analysts and former US officials say neither country appears ready to pursue elaborate cooperation for military operations in Iraq, but there appears to be some level of tactical communication at least to avoid accidents.

As the two governments expand their military activity in Iraq, there is a growing risk of potential crossed signals or conflict as Washington and Tehran remain bitter enemies.

Update VIDEOs/PhOtOs-Sydney-Terrorist Took Hostages-SIEGE Now Over

Lights Out at Siege Cafe as Stand-Off Enters 12th Hour: One Gunman was 'Extremely Agitated' When Five Hostages Escaped as Witnesses Report Seeing Food Being Brought for Those Trapped Inside

Gunman stormed a cafe in central Sydney during morning rush hour and took at least 15 people hostage

He forced hostages to hold up black flag with white writing in Arabic, an emblem linked to terror groups

Two women and three men were able to flee the Lindt cafe in Sydney's Martin Place


The gunman became 'extremely agitated' after the five escaped, a witness said


As night fell, food was seen being brought from the cafe kitchen for the hostages

Lights went out in the cafe, though police declined to say if they cut power to the building

Police commanders say they will be patient while no one has been injured and want to end the siege without violence


Daily Mail Australia, 15 December 2014


As many as 15 hostages seized by a gunman who stormed a Sydney cafe at morning rush hour are facing a terrifying night as a siege in the centre of the city continued after dark, hours after five captives made a courageous break for freedom.



Witnesses saw food prepared in the cafe's kitchen brought out to the remaining hostages, thought to number between ten and 15, as the stand-off with heavily armed police entered its twelfth hour.

The drama began unfolding around 9,30 am, when a gunman entered the cafe, located in one of busiest plazas in Sydney's central business district, and pulled a shotgun from a blue carry bag and disabled the doors to the business.

Soon afterwards, hostages were seen with their hands pressed against the windows holding up the Islamic Shahada flag. It is an emblem of extremist group Jabhat al-Nusra, which is fighting the Assad government in Syria. The man was described as wearing a headband with Arabic writing on it.

Scores of police rushed to the scene, evacuating surrounding buildings and closing off part of the city. The scene sent shockwaves across Australia, where terror attacks have rarely touched home soil.

Paramilitary police armed with automatic rifles spent all day Monday surrounding the cafe, but senior commanders said they would be taking a patient approach to the siege and hoped to end it through negotiation with the gunman.

A total of five hostages, including barista Elly Chen, managed to escape the cafe by scrambling out a side door about seven hours into the drama. Fear etched on their faces, they ran into the arms of waiting police.
It is understood the hostages escaped from the cafe, rather than being released by their captor. One former male hostage has been taken to nearby St Vincent's Hospital, in Sydney's inner suburbs, and is being treated for a pre-existing condition.
The gunman flew into a rage when he realised some of his captives had escaped.

'The gunman could be seen from here getting extremely agitated, shouting at remaining hostages,' tweeted journalist Chris Reason, who has a direct line of sight into the cafe from the Seven Network newsroom directly opposite and inside the police cordon.

The light inside the building has gone off tonight, Mr Reason said, but police would not reveal whether it was a law enforcement or hostage-taker tactic.
Police negotiators have learned the name of the man and have made contact.
This evening, Mr Reason said he could see the gunman rotating the hostages through positions in the store's window.

'From inside Martin Place we can see the faces of hostages - pained, strained, eyes red and raw,' he recounted. Food and water was also being delivered to the prisoners from the cafe's back kitchens.

Seven Network staff have counted around 15 hostages in the cafe, he said, rather than the 50 reported by Lindt Australia CEO Steve Loane earlier on Monday.

As night fell, the lights went out in the cafe and witnesses described food being brought out from the cafe kitchen for the remaining hostagesDaily Mail Australia understands a 25-year-old female fashion industry worker and two female baristas aged in their 30s are among that number.As scores of heavily armed police, clad in black, remained on guard in Martin Place, Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione tonight said police would do whatever it takes for the situation to be peacefully resolved.

The hostage taker is believed to have demanded a flag of the Islamic State terror group in Iraq and Syria and to talk to Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Sydney was eerily quiet on Monday night.

Office buildings went into lockdown earlier this morning, Martin Place train station - a central thoroughfare for workers - was shuttered. Events at the Opera House, such as a performance of the Nutcracker, were cancelled as the city icon was evacuated.Hundreds of heavily armed police, operating under unprecedented Task Force Pioneer counter-terrorism protocols, were scouring the city, completely isolating the darkened cafe.

In an evening press conference, state Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione sent a message of support directly to those imprisoned in the chocolate cafe, at the whims of an unknown quantity.

'Rest assured, we are doing all we can to set you free,' he said, boasting that the state has the 'best police negotiators in the country' and that the safety of hostages was authorities' 'number one priority'.

Police believe all hostages remain uninjured. '[And] if that's true, for that we're grateful,' Commissioner Scipione said.

Detectives have refused to confirm what weapons the militant is carrying, or even if the militant is accompanied by allies. Queensland's police commissioner Ian Stewart said earlier on Monday that he had information an improvised explosive device may be involved, but state Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione has tonight refused to confirm that.

NSW Premier Mike Baird warned workers in the Central Business District that Martin Place and surrounding areas would remain an exclusion zone into Tuesday. 'If you work in this exclusion zone, I'd ask you to work from home tomorrow morning,' a resolute Mr Baird told reporters.

Monday's crisis began just hours after a 25-year-old suspect was arrested in a terror raid in Beecroft, a leafy suburb in Sydney's north-west, but police denied a link between the two events.

On Monday morning, columnist Chris Kenny, who was in the shop about 20 minutes before the siege began, said he understood the automatic glass sliding doors had been disabled after the gunman stormed the store.

'I did speak to a couple of people who saw a bit more of this unfold than I did,' he said. 'One woman said she tried to go into the shop just after I came out with my takeaway coffee but the doors wouldn't open.
'So obviously whoever is doing this has disabled the automatic glass sliding doors to stop anyone else going in and she said immediately she could see there was a weapon.
'The woman was quite frantic but very clear what she was telling (the police).
'I know the faces of the people who are sitting there enjoying a morning coffee.'

2GB radio host Ray Hadley said he had three tense telephone conversations with one of the hostages inside the cafe and he could hear the gunman giving demands.
The hostage asked to be put to air live following the instructions of the gunman. However, Hadley refused saying he didn't have the expertise to deal with the situation.

'There are some people who are not well. They've been in there for five hours, they're distraught,' he said.
'I'm not in a position to comply with requests that have been made, I can't.
'The media can't play a role in negotiating with people purporting to be from Islamic State holding hostages in a cafe in Sydney. This is the job of authorities to solve htis problem.
'They want us to say things that we simply can't say.'

Witnesses described the chaotic scenes in the legal, business and media centre as it was shut down and scores of heavily armed police surrounded the Lindt building.
All of the chocolate chain's stores around Sydney were closed following the incident, in an act of camaraderie.

Emergency services have shut down the area surrounding Martin Place as they continue the operation




A Lindt cafe employee, who was due to start her shift just an hour after the Sydney hostage drama unfolded, said she was 'shaking with fear' when the gunman arrived.
Kathryn Chee, a chocolatier at the cafe said she meant to turn up early for her 11am shift because the business had been so busy in the lead up to Christmas.

'It shakes me to the bone,' Ms Chee told the ABC. She said her colleagues who are now hostages are 'people who I hold like another family'.
'It's good I'm not there but I wish I could be there for them. That could be me standing there.'

Ms Chee said the young woman seen in footage holding an Islamic flag pressed against the window had 'a look of sheer horror on her face'.

She says the woman is a thoughtful colleague who bakes treats for people's birthdays.
Ms Chee said the male hostage seen in the TV footage is a funny guy who jokes with the customers.

Officials have also evacuated the Opera House after reports of a suspicious device









Other areas of Sydney are feeling a heavy police presence as the siege at Martin Place continues










Witnesses have described the chaotic scenes in Martin Place as the area was shut down and scores of police surrounded the building



The Seven Network newsroom, which is in a building opposite the cafe, was among the first to be evacuated, immediately followed by the nearby Westpac building and the Reserve Bank of Australia. Surrounding buildings soon followed or went into lockdown.
Even the city's courts, including the venerable Downing Centre building, were sealed for the day, with police quickly vacating the areas.

Rosemary Healion, who works at Frederick Jordan Chambers, told Daily Mail Australia on Monday morning that 'a couple hundred' of her colleagues were inside at the time of the attack.


'My colleagues are still in there. They're trying to get them out now,' Ms Healion told Daily Mail Australia.
Ms Healion said her office was on the ground floor, the same one as Lindt and they had been pushed behind the office's reception area.

'I'm so so worried as you would be. I was about to walk into the cafe. I get coffee there all the time.'

Window cleaner, David Wilson, managed to get a birds-eye-view of police swarming into Martin Place as he and a colleague cleaned the windows of a building across from Lindt.

'We were looking around and there were cops running around and guns drawn. Some people came out, they looked like just coffee drinkers and that was about all we saw,' Mr Wilson said, adding that his colleague's first response was to get out his phone and start filming.

Rodrigo Neryt was arriving at Channel Seven for his first day of work experience when he heard screaming out the front of the cafe.

'I was at the corner when everything started. I saw people yelling and screaming and two police cars arriving at the scene. I saw what looked like a black ISIS flag and they were holding it up'.





Armed police evacuated office staff next to the Lindt cafe on Monday afternoon






Police helped direct employees who were in lockdown in a building near the cafe under siege

It is unclear how many people are involved in the siege in a Lindt cafe in Martin Place but people could be seen with their hands pressed against the windows (second window)






At least two gunmen are involved in the siege but dozens of armed police have sealed off the streets surrounding the site




John Edwards works across the road from the cafe on the ninth floor of 53 Martin Place.
He said every floor of the building had been cleared about 11.15am.


'We were evacuated out of the building from the basement,' Mr Edwards told Daily Mail Australia.
'All we were told by security was to get out.'

Lindt Australia issued a statement about the siege on its Facebook page.

'We are deeply concerned over this serious incident and our thoughts and prayers are with the staff and customers involved and all their friends and families,' they said.

Premier Mike Baird said the public and police in Sydney were being tested by the events of the siege.

'But whatever the test, we will face it hear and we will remain a strong democratic civil society,' he said.
'I have full confidence in the police commissioner and the incredible work of the NSW Police Force.
'They are the world's best. They have acted decisively. They are on top of the situation. They are doing everything possible that has to be done. We are incredibly lucky.'

Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he had offered Mr Baird all possible Commonwealth support and assistance.
'The National Security Committee of Cabinet has also convened for briefings on the situation,' he said in a statement.
'This is obviously a deeply concerning incident but all Australians should be reassured that our law enforcement and security agencies are well trained and equipped and are responding in a thorough and professional manner.'

The US President Barack Obama has been briefed on the unfolding situation in Sydney.

World leaders, including UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Indian President Narendra Modi have sent messages of support to the Australian people.

Opposition leader Bill Shorten said all of Australia would be thinking of the hostages.

'There are many innocent people caught up in this horrifying incident,' he said.
'Australians are shocked but we won't be shaken. At times like this its more critical than ever that the Australian community stick together.


Earlier this year, it was reported that Martin Place was the planned location of a terror plot. It was alleged in September that Omarjan Azari, the 22-year-old Sydney man arrested on terrorism charges, was planning a public beheading there.


The alleged terror plot, mentioned in a conversation between now deceased Australian terrorism recruiter in Syria, Mohammad Ali Barylei and Azari, involved selecting a member of the public at random, beheading them and then covering their body in a flag.

The whole incident was going to be filmed, and then used as propaganda for the Islamic State cause. Federal prosecutors said the alleged terror plot was 'clearly designed to shock, horror and terrify the community'

Police Prosecutor Michael Allnutt said that Azari had made a threat which involved a 'random selection of persons to execute' during a telephone conversation with Baryalei.
Azari was arrested on September 18 and charged with preparing for an act of terrorism.
He is due in court this week for a bail application.





Thousands of office workers have relocated from Martin Place to Sydney's Hyde Park






Patients from the nearby Sydney Hospital patients were also evacuated alongside office workers

Quote:
WHAT IS THE SHAHADA FLAG?

Held up to a window by terrified hostages, a black flag covered in white Arabic was the first sign that the Martin Place siege could be linked to extremist Islam.

Witnesses initially believed that it was the standard of ISIS. However, close examination revealed it was in fact the Shahada flag, bearing the words
'There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah'


It is used by the extremist group, Jabhat al Nusra, which is fighting the Assad government in Syria.
But it has meaning for all Muslims, in that the Shahada is the Islamic Creed, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which is recited by Muslims when they pray.

Update re: VIDEOs/PhOtOs-ISIS Attacks Around The World & UPDATES

UPDATE:

Gunman Who Has up to 15 People Hostage in Sydney Cafe is a Self-Styled Sheik from Iran Who is on Bail Over the Murder of his Ex-Wife
-Has Also been Charged with Multiple Sexual Assaults and Sent Hate-Filled Letters to Families of dead Soldiers

  • Man Haron Monis has been named as the gunman holding up to 15 people hostage in a Sydney café
  • The 49-year-old man lives in southwest Sydney, but is originally from Iran and a self-proclaimed sheik
  • He was charged with accessory in the murder of his ex-wife - who was allegedly stabbed and set on fire on a flight of stairs in her western Sydney apartment block
  • He was also arrested for the sexual assault of a 27-year-old woman in 2002 in April this year after luring her to his clinic following claims he was as 'spiritual healer'
  • Monis was slapped with an additional 40 charges in October after more victims to come forward
  • Monis received 300 community service hours for sending hate mail to the families of Australian dead soldiers
  • The seige follows an unsuccessful attempt to have these charges overturned in the High Court on Friday
  • Terror siege in central Sydney stretches into the night after gunman raids busy cafe at morning peak hour
  • Witnesses described hostages as looking 'pained, strained' as drama enters its 12th hour
  • Food was brought in to the hostages from the cafe kitchen as darkness fell, and the lights were turned off inside
  • Five people, including three cafe workers, were able to flee to safety, leaving up to 15 people inside
  • Gunman was described as 'extremely agitated' after learning some hostages had escaped
  • He stormed the Lindt cafe in Martin Place during the morning rush hour stopped anyone from leaving
  • He forced hostages to hold up black flag with white writing in Arabic, an emblem linked to terror groups
  • Police commanders say they will be patient while no one has been hurt and want to end the siege without violence




The gunman holding as many as 15 people hostage has been named as Man Haron Monis (centre and left inset), a self-styled sheik from Iran who arrived in Australia in 1996.

He is on bail for being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife, allegedly carried out by his current partner.

Monis also faces 50 charges of indecent and sexual assault during his time as a 'spiritual healer'. He also appeared in court for sending hate-filled letters to the families of soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

Monis walked into the Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Martin Place, Sydney at 9.30am on Monday and pulled a gun and ordered those trapped inside to hold an Islamic flag at the window.

He has been in a stand-off with police ever since and has demanded he be sent an ISIS flag and have a one-on-one conversation with Prime Minister Tony Abbott.


Man Haron Monis - also known as Sheik Haron - has been named as the gunman holding up to 15 people hostage in a Sydney café and is believed to be an Islamic State preacher who is on bail for accessory to murder.
The news came as a sixth hostage managed to escape the cafe at about 2am



The 49-year-old man lives in southwest Sydney, but is originally from Iran and a self-proclaimed sheik, and also sent hate mail to the families of Australian dead soldiers between 2007 and 2009, according to The Daily Telegraph.
The seige in the Lindt cafe in Martin Place on Monday follows an unsuccessful attempt to have these charges overturned in the High Court on Friday.

Monis received 300 community service hours and a two-year good behaviour bond for the correspondence, which he claims were his version of sympathy cards, sent with the help from his girlfriend Amirah Droudis.



Arriving as a refugee in Australia in 1996, the hostage-taker was charged as an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife - who was allegedly stabbed and set on fire on a flight of stairs in her western Sydney apartment block in November 2013.

The man's current partner was charged with murder but they both received bail as the case was deemed too weak.

Heavily armed police remained posted around the cafe as night fell and the hostage drama continued into the night. Inside, the remaining hostages were brought food and were observed by witnesses as looking 'pained'




He was also arrested in April this year for the sexual assault of a 27-year-old woman in 2002 after luring her to his clinic following claims he was as an expert in astrology, meditation and black magic, The Daily Telegraph also reported.


Monis was slapped with an additional 40 charges in October after more victims to come forward after the alleged incidents that occurred from his spiritual healing clinic in Station Street in Wentworthville - western Sydney.

As many as 15 hostages seized by the gunman, who stormed a Sydney cafe at morning rush hour on Monday, are facing a terrifying night as a siege in the centre of the city continued after dark, hours after five captives made a courageous break for freedom.

Three videos were released on YouTube of three female hostages declaring the gunman's demands, which included the police bringing an ISIS flag to the cafe and insisting that he speak with Prime Minister Tony Abbott - however Daily Mail Australia decided not to air the disturbing footage which has since been taken down.

Channel Nine reported the gunman's name after receiving approval from senior police.

Witnesses saw food prepared in the cafe's kitchen brought out to the remaining hostages, thought to number between ten and 15, as the stand-off with heavily armed police entered its twelfth hour.
The drama began unfolding around 9,30 am, when a gunman entered the cafe, located in one of busiest plazas in Sydney's central business district, and pulled a shotgun from a blue carry bag and disabled the doors to the business.

Soon afterwards, hostages were seen with their hands pressed against the windows holding up the Islamic Shahada flag. It is an emblem of extremist group Jabhat al-Nusra, which is fighting the Assad government in Syria. The man was described as wearing a headband with Arabic writing on it.

Scores of police rushed to the scene, evacuating surrounding buildings and closing off part of the city. The scene sent shockwaves across Australia, where terror attacks have rarely touched home soil.

Paramilitary police armed with automatic rifles spent all day Monday surrounding the cafe, but senior commanders said they would be taking a patient approach to the siege and hoped to end it through negotiation with the gunman.

A total of five hostages, including barista Elly Chen, managed to escape the cafe by scrambling out a side door about seven hours into the drama. Fear etched on their faces, they ran into the arms of waiting police.
It is understood the hostages escaped from the cafe, rather than being released by their captor. One former male hostage has been taken to nearby St Vincent's Hospital, in Sydney's inner suburbs, and is being treated for a pre-existing condition.
The gunman flew into a rage when he realised some of his captives had escaped.

'The gunman could be seen from here getting extremely agitated, shouting at remaining hostages,' tweeted journalist Chris Reason, who has a direct line of sight into the cafe from the Seven Network newsroom directly opposite and inside the police cordon.

The light inside the building has gone off tonight, Mr Reason said, but police would not reveal whether it was a law enforcement or hostage-taker tactic.
Police negotiators have learned the name of the man and have made contact.

This evening, Mr Reason said he could see the gunman rotating the hostages through positions in the store's window.

'From inside Martin Place we can see the faces of hostages - pained, strained, eyes red and raw,' he recounted. Food and water was also being delivered to the prisoners from the cafe's back kitchens.

Seven Network staff have counted around 15 hostages in the cafe, he said, rather than the 50 reported by Lindt Australia CEO Steve Loane earlier on Monday.






Arriving as a refugee in Australia in 1996, the hostage-taker was charged as an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife - who was allegedly stabbed and set on fire on a flight of stairs in her western Sydney apartment block in November 2013










Daily Mail Australia understands a 25-year-old female fashion industry worker and two female baristas aged in their 30s are among that number.
As scores of heavily armed police, clad in black, remained on guard in Martin Place, Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione tonight said police would do whatever it takes for the situation to be peacefully resolved.

The hostage taker is believed to have demanded a flag of the Islamic State terror group in Iraq and Syria and to talk to Prime Minister Tony Abbott.


Sydney was eerily quiet on Monday night. Office buildings went into lockdown earlier this morning, Martin Place train station - a central thoroughfare for workers - was shuttered. Events at the Opera House, such as a performance of the Nutcracker, were cancelled as the city icon was evacuated.

Hundreds of heavily armed police, operating under unprecedented Task Force Pioneer counter-terrorism protocols, were scouring the city, completely isolating the darkened cafe.
In an evening press conference, state Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione sent a message of support directly to those imprisoned in the chocolate cafe, at the whims of an unknown quantity.

'Rest assured, we are doing all we can to set you free,' he said, boasting that the state has the 'best police negotiators in the country' and that the safety of hostages was authorities' 'number one priority'.
Police believe all hostages remain uninjured. '[And] if that's true, for that we're grateful,' Commissioner Scipione said.

Detectives have refused to confirm what weapons the militant is carrying, or even if the militant is accompanied by allies.
Queensland's police commissioner Ian Stewart said earlier on Monday that he had information an improvised explosive device may be involved, but state Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione has tonight refused to confirm that.

NSW Premier Mike Baird warned workers in the Central Business District that Martin Place and surrounding areas would remain an exclusion zone into Tuesday.
'If you work in this exclusion zone, I'd ask you to work from home tomorrow morning,' a resolute Mr Baird told reporters.

Monday's crisis began just hours after a 25-year-old suspect was arrested in a terror raid in Beecroft, a leafy suburb in Sydney's north-west, but police denied a link between the two events.

15 December 2014





Two people are reported to have died, one of them possibly the gunman, after police burst into the Sydney cafe at 2.11am and opened fire. Loud bangs and bursts of light could be seen as they stormed the cafe in Martin Place. Minutes before at least six more hostages escaped. In all, 11 were reported to have been freed during the dramatic climax to the siege which lasted 17 hours. Channel 9 reported four hostages may have been injured but this is yet to be confirmed. The gunman was named as Man Haron Monis, a self-styled sheik from Iran who arrived in Australia in 1996. He is on bail for being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife, allegedly carried out by his current partner. Monis also faces 50 charges of indecent and sexual assault during his time as a 'spiritual healer'. He also appeared in court for sending hate-filled letters to the families of soldiers killed in Afghanistan.


Police firing automatic weapons and lobbing stun grenades stormed the cafe in central Sydney early on Tuesday where a gunman had been holding more than a dozen hostages, bringing a dramatic end to a siege lasting more than 16 hours.

There were reports that two people were killed and at least three others were injured, but this could not immediately be confirmed.


Live television coverage showed at least two people being taken away from the scene on stretchers. One hostage was seen being carried out of the building. She appeared to be in pain, and blood flowed down her legs.
Nine News reported that eleven hostages had been accounted for after the police raid, which occurred shortly after 2am.





Siege over: Police raided the cafe in central Sydney early Tuesday, bringing a dramatic end to a 17-hour siefe. The raid came moments after some hostages fled the Lindt cafe after more than 16hrs






Heavily armed police opened fire with automatic weapons and hurled what appeared to be stun grenades as they stormed into the cafe



A police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia that the siege was over, but that no more details would be immediately released.

A scene of pandemonium erupted in the early morning just minutes after hostages started emerging from the cafe.

Initially one man emerged with his hands up and lay down on the ground in front of police. Seconds later, a group of of five hostages appeared suddenly after apparently escaping the cafe.
This appeared to be the trigger for tactical police to move in.

Within seconds, they had blasted open the cafe door and opened fire with automatic weapons, also hurling what appeared to be stun grenades. The sounds of explosions echoed through the city, and the flashes of rifle fire and the grenades lit up the area.

The gunfight lasted less than two minutes, and more hostages appeared to emerge after the police raid.
As the scene calmed down, a bomb disposal robot was seen entering the cafe.

The dramatic end to the siege came as the gunman holding the remaining captives was revealed as a self-proclaimed Islamic cleric Man Haron Monis.

Update re: VIDEOs>ISIS Shoots Down Jet-Captures Pilot +Dungeon That Held Starving Hostages

EXCLUSIVE: Is This the Syrian Dungeon Where Beheaded U.S. and British Hostages Were Caged by ISIS?
-Pictures Show Factory Basement 'Where Half-Starved Westerners Were Held in Darkness'

  • A Syrian held alongside the westerners claims factory basement shown on TV report is where he was held with Jim Foley and other hostages
  • Video and pictures show a dusty basement in Sheikh Najjar is strewn with blankets, tattered mattresses, cardboard, plastic bottles and other detritus
  • Westerners were caged there half-starved, in permanent darkness for months until December 2013 - before being handed over to 'Jihadi John'
  • One European captive claimed he saved eggs for Steven Sotloff, who secretly fasted on Yom Kippur. He didn't want ISIS to know he was Jewish
  • Guards treated Westerners better than Syrian prisoners - who were beaten and tortured - and were given treats like sweets and extra jam
  • Prison boss played cruel trick when they were being moved. He said they'd be freed - but instead were taken to Raqqa and Jihadi John
Daily Mail UK, 19 December 2014


This is the first glimpse inside the secret underground prison where ISIS caged Western hostages - including James Foley, Steven Sotloff and David Haines - former fellow prisoners have claimed.
Freed captives told MailOnline they lived in wretched conditions alongside them, half-starved on hard concrete floors in almost permanent darkness in the basement room of the abandoned factory in the Sheikh Najjar Industrial City, in the suburbs of Aleppo, during the last four months of 2013.

They were then moved to Raqqa, Syria, where they were handed over to their executioner, the infamous 'Jihadi John' and his death squad.

The former prisoners gave a chilling insight into the ordeal that the men - and allegedly one woman - endured in the bleak darkness.


Scroll down for video




Hellish: A Syria TV reporter took this image in an abandoned factory turned ISIS prison in Sheikh Najjar, Syria - unaware that later it would be claimed that it was where Western hostages were kept for months





Separated: One hostage claimed that the basement was divided into two different sections; the first was converted into about 14 dingy single cells and the second into 12 single cells and three big rooms






Together in the dark: It is claimed that the Western hostage men were kept together in one of the larger rooms



One of the former hostages who talked to MailOnline identified the dungeon - either a disused wood or furniture factory - from footage broadcast by a pro-Syrian TV Channel earlier this year, after President Bashar Al-Assad's forces pushed out Islamist rebel groups from the heavily contested area.

But the Syrian reporter walking through the ISIS prison - before the world was revulsed by the video of Jim Foley's execution in August - had no idea that it had housed nearly 20 Western journalists and aid workers.

As he walks through, he points the cameraman to discarded blankets, tattered mattresses and plastic water bottles that are strewn around the dusty floor in the footage - haunting evidence of the miserable existence of the prisoners who had been caged there.

The reporter also posted images of his visit to the Sheikh Najjar prison to his Facebook page, showing the cubicles in which some of the prisoners were believed to have been kept.


Cells have been uncovered believed to have held James Foley





A shocking separate image he uploaded on the same day shows a chair apparently used to restrain prisoners with belts, but it's not clear whether this picture was taken in the factory.


The movements and ordeal of ISIS' valuable foreign hostages - used either for ransom or propaganda - have been shrouded in mystery and speculation for more than a year.

The apparent location of where many of the Western prisoners spent long periods of their captivity came from interviews with two European hostages, freed earlier this year after ransoms were reportedly paid.

And a Syrian prisoner who spent two months in Sheikh Najjar identified the location from the TV report. He said he regularly heard the American and European prisoners, including Jim Foley, from his nearby cell.

ISIS, according to the Syrian, had divided the basement into two different sections; the first was converted into around 14 dingy single cells and the second into 12 single cells and three big rooms.

The foreign aid workers and journalists spent most of their time together in one of the big rooms, he said, while most of the Syrians were housed in the individual cubicles. An American woman was held in a separate cell in the same location, it is claimed.





Courage: The Syrian remembers Jim Foley as a cheerful and funny interlocutor, frequently bantering with the guards and cajoling them into better treatment. This was before he was handed over to Jihadi John









Cameraderie: David Haines, top, was part of the congregation of western hostages at Sheikh Najjar. As was American-Israeli journalist Steven Sotloff. One hostage said that as Sotloff secretly observed the Yom Kippur fast by pretending to have an upset stomach, he kept his eggs for him that had been served that day

A freed European hostage claimed:

'They built the prison around us. When we came in, there was nothing there. It was just a normal factory.'
The room where the male hostages spent their time was 'about five metres by five metres, with a toilet, but not really square', he said.

Conditions were grim. Many of the prisoners were in a state of constant hunger and the basement was freezing cold.

'Only in Raqqa did they decide to feed us', one of the European hostages told MailOnline - referring to the Syrian city that is the headquarters of ISIS - where the prisoners were moved to later.

Candles were only brought when it was time to eat, according to the Syrian prisoner, which wasn't very often.


Quote:
We had eggs that day, and eggs were very important food to keep. He didn't say he was doing Yom Kippur to the other ones, only to two people. Because I saw him doing it, I said "are you doing Kippur?". He said 'how do you know?
Prisoner on American-Israeli Steven Sotloff's secret fast


The European arrived in the Sheikh Najjar prison on August 29.
It was in Sheikh Najjar that Steven Sotloff quietly observed the Yom Kippur fast weeks later by feigning an upset stomach, said the European.
Sotloff, an American-Israeli who hailed from Florida, had been kidnapped in Aleppo province in August. A video of his beheading was released by ISIS on September 2 this year.

The European hostage told MailOnline that he kept Sotloff's eggs for him that had been served up by their captors that day.

'We had eggs that day, and eggs were very important food to keep. He didn't say he was doing Yom Kippur to the other ones, only to two people. Because I saw him doing it, I said "are you doing Kippur?". He said 'how do you know?'.

The hostage remembers being put in a room on October 5 with Jim Foley and British photojournalist John Cantlie. Also there around that time was British aid worker and father-of-two David Haines, who was kidnapped in early 2013 and executed by Jihadi John this September.

Both Haines and Cantlie, who is apparently still alive and has appeared in numerous ISIS propaganda videos, had spent the early period of their captivity with the British Jihadis in Aleppo City. All would end up in Shekih Najjar.

Hostages were collected from different parts of Northern Syria and added to the group; by the time they left Sheikh Najjar, they numbered 19, it is claimed.





Restraint: The reporter also uploaded this picture on the same day as the factory visit of what looks like a chair used to restrain prisoners. But it has not been confirmed that it was at the alleged prison site





Grim: The conditions were extremely basic. There was hardly any light and it was extremely cold at night





Starving: Food was rarely served, said one Syrian prisoner. When it was served it was by candlelight - a rare moment of light in the gloom





Beatings: A former prisoner claims that the Western prisoners were treated relatively well, given their situation. But Syrian prisoners held with them were beaten and one Russian was treated especially harshly





Treatment: Some guards gave the Western hostages extra bread, jam and sweets, said a Syrian prisoner






Tortured and shot: Russian prisoner Sergey Gorbunov was marked out for particularly harsh beatings by a Chechen guard. He was eventually shot dead and pictures of his body was shown to prisoners and their families to intimidate them


Almost everything was audible in the darkness. Peering through the darkness from a hole in his cell, the Syrian said that he'd heard American and European voices, including that of Jim Foley, 40.

'Maybe he was the oldest there', said the Syrian, who said that Foley had become one of the leaders of the hostages who conversed with the guards on their behalf. 'He was always talking in the name of the group, so I heard him more than anyone else.'

The Syrian remembers Jim Foley as a cheerful and funny interlocutor, frequently bantering with the guards and cajoling them into better treatment.

'Once they brought them clothes and T-shirts and stuff, and gave it to them. And he said "Oh thank God, these are the first new clothes for two years."'


Like many of the other Syrians there, the prisoner MailOnline spoke to was tortured in the first weeks of his captivity.

Many of the guards were mostly either French or French-speaking, or Belgian; the same sub-group of ISIS militants who'd held them for several months in Aleppo city.
Whereas their prison chief in Aleppo city had been a lanky Dutch Moroccan engineer called Abu Ubaida al-Magribi, the head of the prison in Sheikh Najjar was a French Tunisian who went under the name Abu Mohammed al-Franci. He was more French than Tunisian; he didn't seem to know any Arabic.

'He was nice to some and tough with others', recalls the Syrian prisoner. 'He tortured some people himself.'

None of the Western prisoners were tortured while in Sheikh Najjar, though many of them had been before they arrived.

He was always talking in the name of the group, so I heard him more than anyone else
- Syrian prisoner on Jim Foley

It has been reported that Jim Foley and John Cantlie had already been beaten, waterboarded and brutalized in their first encounters with the British kidnappers known as 'The Beatles', including Jihadi John, in the first six months after their kidnapping.

But the time they spent with European and Syrian guards in Sheikh Najjar and in Aleppo city must have been one of relative relief.
Many of the guards were friendly, says the Syrian prisoner, especially with the foreigners.

'Some of the Syrian guards were nice with the foreigners – they used to bring them sweets, jam, and extra bread.'

One exception however was a Russian called Sergey Gorbunov, who arrived separately in Sheikh Najjar, having been kidnapped by one of several volatile sub-groups which went on go on to create the nucleus of ISIS.





Timeline of captivity: It is thought that most of the Western hostages were imprisoned from July to August 2013 at an Eye hosptial in Aleppo, then were moved to the wood or furniture factory in Sheikh Najjar from late August/beginning of September to December 2013. Then they were moved to at least three different prisons in the ISIS de facto capital of Raqqa for most of 2014





Devastation: Sheikh Najjar (above in March) has been the scene of intense fighting between rebels, ISIS and forces loyal to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad






Hope: A former hostage told MailOnline that they heard almost constant gun battles overhead and not far away as they were caged underground



Even before he arrived at the prison, according to one of the European hostages, it was clear that he'd been badly tortured.
On two or three occasions while there, says the Syrian, a Chechen guard took him outside the communal cell into the corridor, where he could hear him being beaten.


'They took him from inside the cell, out into the corridor. He was beating him with his fists', said the Syrian.



Quote:
We need to make sure you will be in a secure situation, to make sure any other groups don't take you again. This trip will take two or three hours, so please be patient. You will be with your families by tonight
Cruel lie told by ISIS prison supervisor

In the end, Mr Gorbunov was shot dead in the first week of March 2014 in Raqqa, simply because he had no value to his captors.

The picture of his bullet-riddled body was sent to the families of some European hostages to add impetus to their demands for millions of euros in ransom money - and shown to the remaining hostages to terrify them into submission.

The hostages were ushered out of their basement on December 23 and Christmas Eve; their captors were now in a hurry.

The Sheikh Najjar Industrial City was the scene of heavy fighting between the Syrian regime and various Islamist groups.
The frontline was constantly changing and the prisoners remember hearing the fighting going on not far away above ground.

The day that the Western hostages were herded off, the Syrian prisoner remembers hearing lots of activity after morning prayers. The foreigners were given new clothes.

Abu Maryam, a Syrian from the Iraqi border area who was in charge of supervising ISIS's prison network and a close associate of Al-Magribi, arrived to make an announcement.

'We are sorry', he told the assembled hostages, via a translator. 'It is wartime; we don't know our friend and we don't know our enemy, but we are going to release you soon. Please be patient. We will take you to the Turkish border.
'We need to make sure you will be in a secure situation, to make sure any other groups don't take you again. This trip will take two or three hours, so please be patient. You will be with your families by tonight.'



It was another cruel trick. After two short pit stops, they'd be taken to ISIS's stronghold in Raqqa. Their numbers would soon swell with half a dozen fresh hostages, including executed aid worker Alan Henning – and where Jim Foley, John Cantlie and David Haines would be reunited with their most cruel tormentors in the form of British guards and Jihadi John.





Alone: A female U.S. hostage was held in one of the many separate cubicles in the basement, it is claimed





Propaganda: The TV report showed ISIS pamphlets found in the alleged prison after Assad's forces pushed the Islamic militants out of Sheikh Najjar Industrial City





Cat and mouse: Those searching for the hostages had allegedly been aware of a 'wood factory' in Sheikh Najjar being where they had been moved to. But by that time the prisoners had been moved on


As the prisoners kept their hopes up as best they could during their captivity, those desperately searching for them were playing a game of cat and mouse that they were eventually to lose.

According to the testimony of freed European hostages, the ISIS prisoners began to arrive in the summer of 2013 in an Eye Hospital in Aleppo, Syria.
In the same large compound two American prisoners Matthew Schrier and Theo Padnos, had been hostage for some months in a Children's Hospital by the Al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra. They were later freed.

Jim Foley and John Cantlie were first sighted in the Eye Hospital in July 2013 by another European hostage.

It has been reported that US Special Forces mounted a raid to rescue the prisoners from the compound. But by the time that information was passed to investigators in November, the prisoners were long gone.

Beginning in late August through the first week of October, they had quietly moved out of Aleppo city to the new location in Sheikh Najjar Industrial City.
To investigators, the suspicion that they had been moved to Sheikh Najjar facility had been clear for some time.

Yosef AboBaker, the rebel activist who accompanied Steven Sotloff into North Syria and who was kidnapped for 15 days before being released, began making his own enquiries about the location of his friend soon afterwards.
In an interview in Antakya, Turkey, in March 2014 he said that 'the interesting information is coming from Sheikh Najjar', where the hostages had been seen by another released Syrian prisoner in a 'wood factory'.

Once again, however, the information came too late – the hostages had already been moved.


Quote:
ISIS 'TESTED CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON PRISONERS AT SHEIKH NAJJAR'

Just over a week after the Western hostages were taken away from the Sheikh Najjar facility, ten Syrian rebels – eight men and two women – were taken outside and executed, according to a Syrian prisoner.
At around the same time some of the prison guards appear to have tested primitive chemical weapons on the prisoners being held in the individual cells.

'Two or three times they tried chemical stuff on us', said the Syrian. 'They put liquid on a cloth, and forced us to breathe it. It happened to two or three people in the prison but not me.
'But once they brought something like tear gas, they just mixed some liquids together in a small bottle, and they threw it in the corridor in our part of the prison. Everybody started coughing and breathing badly.' It definitely wasn't tear gas, according to the Syrian prisoner.
'Syrian regime forces used to use tear gas on us. It makes a white fog with dirty smells, which made you feel uncomfortable. But this was colourless. I coughed for two or three hours…I don't know whether it was done for fun or whether it was a serious attempt to experiment with chemicals.'

That chemical weapons which had fallen into the hands of the ISIS would be tested in Sheikh Najjar Industrial City would make sense; the factories and raw materials of the industrial city would make an ideal testing ground for any ISIS experimentation with chemical weapons.
Such chemicals may also have been raided from Syrian army stocks. Several of the volatile precursor groups which gave rise to ISIS in the spring of 2013 were involved in a successful raid on a nearby Sheikh Suleiman Syrian army base, which was believed to be home to Syria's chemical weapons programme.

Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, CEO of SecureBio and one of Britain's leading British chemical experts, believes that that the Islamic State has advanced to the stage of using toxic industrial chemicals like chlorine and ammonia to attack rebel forces in Syria and the Iraqi Army and Peshmerga in Iraq.
When MailOnline showed him the testimony from the Syrian prisoner, he said: 'Reports that ISIS are using these types of chemicals to torture captives in their prisons seems entirely plausible from the information I have and demonstrates that they [ISIS] have no boundaries in their ability to create terror.

'They are likely to use chemical weapons like these in greater numbers and all forces arrayed against them should be prepared for this type of attack.'

Iraqi Kurds Claim More Territory After Breaking Siege of Sinjar
-Top Jihadist Reported Killed


19 December 2014, DOHUK, Iraq, (Reuters) -


Kurdish forces claimed to have seized more territory on Friday after breaking the siege of Sinjar mountain in what they called their biggest victory yet in their war against Islamic State.

A senior Kurdish official said the peshmerga forces had driven the Sunni Islamist militants out of Snuny district north of the mountain on Friday, bringing them closer to retaking the entire Sinjar area on the border with Syria in northwest Iraq.

Islamic State captured huge swathes of Syria and Iraq earlier this year, killing or driving out thousands of Shi'ites and non-Muslims from the region, but the tide of fighting has been reversed in northern Iraq.
Helped by intensified coalition air strikes, the peshmerga fought their way to the eastern tip of Sinjar mountain range on Thursday, opening a corridor for hundreds of minority Yazidis who had been trapped there for months.

"Until now we haven't started evacuating people. We are still taking up defensive positions. Then we will bring them down," said Zaim Ali, the commander of peshmerga for Sinjar, Zumar and Mosul dam.

The Kurdistan region's president Massoud Barzani is personally directing the offensive, in which as many as 8,000 peshmerga are taking part.
The aim of the operation is to reach Sinjar town on the southern side of the mountain, which sits on a road linking Mosul to neighbouring Syria and is a key supply route for the militants.
Sinjar has become highly symbolic for the Kurds, whose reputation as fearsome warriors was bruised after Islamic State overpowered the peshmerga in Sinjar and killed or captured hundreds of Yazidis in August.
U.S. President Barack Obama cited the duty to prevent an impending "genocide" of Yazidis by Islamic State as one of the main motives for authorising air strikes in Iraq this summer.

Since then, Kurdish forces have regained most of the ground they lost to Islamic State in northern Iraq, but Sinjar's awkward geography, out on a limb to the west, has made it difficult to penetrate.

The Kurdish region's National Security Council said on Friday the U.S.-led air strikes had killed a senior Islamic State figure in Mosul on Wednesday.
It identified the man as Shihab Ahmed Hassan al-Luhaibi, the Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's deputy for military affairs in Nineveh province and head of security for Mosul.
His vehicle was hit in a strike on the city's east side, according to the statement. There was no way to independently confirm the information.
In Baghdad, three bombs exploded in eastern and western parts of the city, killing eight people, police said.

Father of Jordanian Pilot Captured in Syria Pleads with ISIS to Show Mercy and Release his Son
-as U.S. Claims jet was NOT Shot by Terrorists -Despite Their Claims

  • F-16 warplane came down while conducting air strikes over Syria
  • Jordanian military admitted that one of its pilots had been captured
  • Isis published photos showing the captured pilot surrounded by fighters
  • Pilot has been named as First Lieutenant Mu'ath Safi Yousef al-Kaseasbeh
  • Jordanian authorities said that the plane was brought down by 'ground fire'
  • U.S dismissed claims Isis had been responsible for bringing aircraft down
Daily Mail UK, 25 December 2014

The father of a Jordanian pilot captured by Isis has issued a heartfelt plea to the militants to release him, as concerned relatives gathered in front of his family home.

Jihadists captured First Lieutenant Mu'ath Safi Yousef al-Kaseasbeh after his warplane came down while conducting airstrikes over Syria, the Jordanian military said.
Jordanian Information Minister Mohammad Momani told The Associated Press that the plane was shot down by 'ground fire' but did not elaborate.
But tonight, the US dismissed claims Isis were responsible for bringing the aircraft down.
It was the first instance of a foreign soldier falling into the group's hands since the U.S.-led coalition began its air campaign against the extremists.

Prisoner: Isis published a picture of a Jordanian pilot that they captured after shooting down his plane over Syria





This picture shows a captured Jordanian pilot, naked from the waist down, being carried out of a body of water by militants






The images of the prisoner appeared on social media on Wednesday, with the Jordanian army confirming that one of its servicemen has been captured





Jordanian pilot Lieutenant Mu'ath al-Kaseasbeh (pictured) has been captured by Islamic State militants





Friends and relatives of Mu'ath Safi al-Kaseasbeh gather in the town of Aey near Al Karak in southern Jordan





Mu'ath Safi al-Kaseasbeh is the first foreign military member to fall into Isis' hands since an international coalition launched its bombing campaign against the group months ago. The pilot's clan gathered last night to discuss the crisis





There have been contradictory accounts of how the Jordanian pilot's plane crashed. Relatives of the pilot (pictured) met to see what could be done about the situation



Mr Joseph Kasasbeh, a retired education director, said that he hoped Isis would be compassionate.
He said:

'I hope god will put mercy in their hearts and they will release my son.'

His plea came as distraught relatives gathered outside the pilot's family home, anxious to hear the latest news about him.
The Raqqa Media Center published a photograph said to be of the pilot - in a white shirt, naked from the waist down and sopping wet - being pulled by gunmen out of what appeared to be a lake.
Another picture shows him surrounded by more than a dozen fighters, some of them masked. The center said IS fighters are scouring the area in case there is a second pilot.


A coalition official, who was not authorised to discuss the episode publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the pilot was in an F-16 fighter and was able to eject.

U.S. Central Command, the body overseeing the coalition air war over Iraq and Syria, said tonight:

'Evidence clearly indicates that ISIL did not down the aircraft as the terrorist organisation is claiming.'

The statement did not give a cause for the 'crash,' and confirmed the lost jet's Jordanian pilot had been taken captive by IS guerrillas.

'We strongly condemn the actions of ISIL, which has taken captive the downed pilot,' said CentCom commander General Lloyd Austin.
'We will support efforts to ensure his safe recovery, and will not tolerate ISIL's attempts to misrepresent or exploit this unfortunate aircraft crash for their own purposes.
'The Jordanians are highly respected and valued partners and their pilots and crews have performed exceptionally well over the course of this campaign,' he added.

Proof: Isis published photographs of the captured pilot's ID cards, which show his date of birth, rank and full name



UN urges humane treatment of Jordanian pilot captured in Syria







The pilot's capture raises a nightmare scenario for Jordan, which has been sharply criticized by militant sympathizers for its participation. IS in the past has beheaded dozens of Syrian soldiers it captured in operations around the country. The group has also beheaded three Americans and two Britons.

Jordan's military said in a statement that as its air force was carrying out a military mission against the Islamic State group Wednesday morning,

'One of our warplanes crashed,' it said. 'The pilot was taken hostage by the Daesh terrorist organization,' it added, using the Arabic acronym for the Isalmic State group.
It said IS and 'those who support it' will be responsible for the safety of the pilot.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had confirmation from activists on the ground that the aircraft was shot down.

Earlier Independent Defence Analyst Paul Beaver warned that Isis is capable of downing warplanes.


He told MailOnline:

'Isis do have the capability to hit aircraft, as they have surface-to-air missiles and heavy machine guns.'

It was not immediately known how the fighters shot down the warplane. But the Islamic State group is known to have stocks of Russian-made Igla anti-aircraft missiles.
The shoulder-fired weapon has long been in the Syrian and Iraqi government arsenals - it was used during the 1991 Gulf War by Iraqi forces to down a British Tornado jet, for example. More recently, militants in Chechnya have used them to down Russian helicopters.

The Raqqa Media Center, an agency of activists that operates openly in IS-ruled areas with permission of the group, said the plane was downed near the village of Hamra Ghannam outside Raqqa.





The Islamic State group is known to have stocks of Russian-made Igla anti-aircraft missiles (pictured), which may have been used to down the F-16 jet


It posted photos of militants posing with shards of wreckage and the canopy being loaded onto a van and then placed in the centre of Raqqa seemingly as a trophy.
It also posted a phot of the pilot's military identification card, identifying him as First Lieutenant Mu'ath Safi Yousef al-Kaseasbeh, aged 27.

In Jordan, the pilot's cousin Marwan al-Kaseasbeh confirmed by telephone with The Associated Press that the photos are of his cousin.
A friend said Kasaesbeh, who is from a prominent Jordanian family, was fervent in his commitment to his mission and felt it was a religious duty to fight extremist groups such as Islamic State that were 'distorting the true spirit of Islam'.
Momani said al-Kaseasbeh, who got married in July, was 'a symbol of heroism and sacrifice'. He added that 'the war on terrorism will continue', saying that the fight with the extremists was 'to defend the Islamic religion'.

The United States and several Arab allies have been striking the Islamic State group in Syria since September 23, and U.S. and other international warplanes have been waging an air campaign against the extremists in Iraq for even longer.
The campaign aims to push back the jihadi organization after it took over much of Iraq and Syria and declared a 'caliphate.'

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are participating in the Syria strikes, with Qatari logistical support.
Staunch U.S. ally Jordan has provided a logistics base for the U.S.-led air campaign and is a hub for intelligence-gathering operations against the jihadists, a western diplomatic source said.

King Abdullah has been in the forefront of regional U.S. allies supportive of the campaign but has said radical Sunni extremists cannot defeated by military means alone and their ideology must be confronted with reason.

In Washington, a Pentagon official said they are aware of the claims being made over social media that a pilot has been shot down, but they could not confirm the report at this time.
The official said any further questions about the alleged capture should be referred to the government of Jordan. He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the reports by name.

Tonight, UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond voiced fears for the fate of the Jordanian pilot.
Posting on Twitter, Mr Hammond said:

'Concerned for Jordanian pilot held by ISIL (IS).
'We stand with Jordan at this difficult time.'

ISIS DISPLAY PILOT'S SURVIVAL KIT THAT WAS FOUND NEAR THE CRASH SITE
Quote:
Islamic State terrorists uploaded a picture of a survival kit belonging to the pilot they captured.
These kits are fitted as standard to F-16s, though their exact contents depends on the type of mission the pilots will typically fly.
For example, the survival kits given to pilots flying desert missions, will be adapted to help them survive in arid conditions, should they crash.

The kits are normally fitted to the back of the ejector seat and are crammed with useful items.
For example, they are likely to contain candles, lighters, a sleeping bag, insect repellent and flares.
Some also contain special dyes to colour water in case the pilot needs to attract passing planes while stranded far from solid ground.
Several knives are normally included, too, along with a sharpening stone.
Toothpaste and a razor are standard issue, along with a piercing whistle to attract attention.
The pilot's radio and phone might be broken, so some contain a signalling mirror to help rescuers home in on their location

Mu'ath Safi Yousef al-Kaseasbeh pictured here riding a quad bike in the desert





In Jordan, the pilot's cousin, Marwan al-Kaseasbeh, confirmed by telephone with The Associated Press that the photos published by Isis are of his cousin





A friend of the pilot (pictured) said that he felt it was a religious duty to fight extremist groups such as Islamic State





In October it was reported that Isis is now in possession of MANPADS - shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles


Over the past week, Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters have been battling Isis to liberate the town of Sinjar, a tiny desert community in northern Iraq that the gunmen overran in August, massacring and enslaving hundreds of its residents.
The Islamic State group swept into Sinjar and surrounding villages as part of their summer blitz across northern Iraq.
The advance of the extremists struck particular fear there. Much of the population belongs to the minority Yazidi religious community, a tiny sect that the Sunni Muslim radicals consider heretics.
Hundreds were killed, and hundreds more Yazidi women and girls were taken captive by the militants, turned into sex slaves or forcibly 'married' to Islamic State supporters in Syria and Iraq.





Celebration: Fanatics were seen displaying Isis flags in Raqqa as they revelled in the capture of the Jordanian pilot





Convoys of terrorists paraded around Raqqa to celebrate the jet coming down

Thousands of other Yazidis fled into Mount Sinjar, a long, steep mountain range that erupts from the flat desert landscape and looms over the town. There they languished for weeks with little food or protection until they were rescued, many by Syrian Kurds who freed a corridor to reach them.

Now, Iraqi Kurdish fighters are on an offensive to push back the Islamic State in this corner of Iraq near the Syrian border.
Meanwhile, officials say a suicide attack against pro-government, anti-Islamic State group Sunni militias near Baghdad has killed at least 13 people.

A police officer says the attacker blew himself up early Wednesday morning among a group of militiamen gathered at a military base south of Baghdad to receive their monthly payment. He said 10 militiamen and three soldiers were killed and 25 others wounded.
The group, known as Sahwa, is made up of Sunni militiamen who joined U.S. troops in the fight against al-Qaida during the height of the insurgency in 2007 and 2008. They are viewed as traitors by the Sunni militants.

A medical official confirmed the casualty figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information to the media.

Asia PhOtOs-Terrorist Plants Another Huge Bomb Near Somali Airport

Four Killed in Mogadishu Suicide Car Bombing

By AFP, 4 January 2015


A huge car bomb blast shook Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Sunday after a suicide bomber struck an area close to the heavily-fortified international airport, killing four people, officials said.

A Somalia police official said the car bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into another car, setting off a huge blast that was heard across the coastal city.

The sprawling airport area is a major base for members of Somalia's armed forces, houses several foreign embassies and African Union troops battling Al-Qaeda-affiliated Shebab militants.

It has been a frequent target of attacks by the Shebab, most recently in late December when the Shebab launched a major assault against an African Union command centre.

"We had information about this car laden with explosives and we have been following it... but it detonated and four civilians were killed, and the bomber," interior ministry spokesman Mohamed Yusuf told reporters.

Witnesses said they saw clouds of smoke after the explosion, and that security forces opened fire to disperse approaching onlookers.
Several witnesses also said they saw up to five destroyed vehicles in the vicinity of the explosion.

"There was a terrible explosion. The security forces have cordoned off the area. They opened fire to disperse people nearby," said Ali Suleyman, a witness.

The latest attack came at the end of a week which saw the United States conduct another air strike against ISIS.

The Somali government said the Shebab's intelligence chief, Abdishakur Tahlil, was killed in Monday night's raid.

The Shebab's former leader Ahmed Abdi Godane was also killed by a US air strike in September.

The Shebab emerged from the Islamic Courts Union that controlled Mogadishu in 2006 before being pushed out by Ethiopian forces.
The militants were finally driven from their fixed positions in Mogadishu in 2011, and have lost several strongholds in the south and centre of the country in a recent offensive by the AU's AMISOM force.
The group, however, still controls vast rural areas from where militants launch regular attacks against the AU's AMISOM troops and the country's internationally-backed government.

Daily Mail UK, 7 January 2015





Two masked men brandishing Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers burst into the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, opening fire on staff. By midday, there were reports of up to 11 people dead and 10 wounded, five critically, including journalists, administrative staff, and police officers who attended the scene. Pierre de Cossette, a broadcast journalist with Europe1 News, said several men in black cagoules were heard to shout 'the Prophet has been avenged'. Officers were involved in a gunfight with the men, who escaped in a hijacked car (bottom right) and sped away from the 15th arrondissement office, towards east Paris.


Twelve people were killed today when armed gunmen carried out a 'massacre' at the offices of a notoriously anti-Islamic magazine in Paris - including a police officer who was executed as he begged for mercy on the pavement.
Two masked men brandishing Kalashnikovs burst into the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, opening fire on staff.

Police officers were involved in a gunfight with the men, who escaped in a hijacked car, speeding away towards east Paris and remain on the loose.
The attackers stalked the building asking for people by name before executing senior staff.
Three of France's most revered cartoonists - Stephane Charbonnier, who is also the editor, Georges Wolinski and Jean Cabut - were among those killed.
There were unconfirmed reports that a fourth cartoonist called Bernard Verlhac (aka Tignous) had died.

Horrific footage also emerged showing an injured police officer slumped on the pavement outside the building as the two gunmen approach.
In an apparent desperate plea for his life, the officer is seen slowly raising his hand towards one of the attackers, who responds by callously shooting him in the head at point-blank range.

By midday, there were reports of up to 12 people dead and 10 wounded, four critically, including journalists, administrative staff, and police officers who attended the scene.
Pierre de Cossette, a broadcast journalist with Europe1 News, said: 'Several men in black cagoules were heard to shout 'the Prophet has been avenged'.

'It's carnage,' Poignant told BFM TV.


Florence Pouvil, a salesperson at Lunas France on Rue Nicolas Appert, opposite Charlie Hebdo offices, told MailOnline:

'I saw two people with big guns, like Kalashnekovs outside our office and then we heard firing. We were very confused.'
'There were two guys who came out of the building and shot everywhere. We hid on the floor, we were terrified.

'We feared for our lives so we hid under our desks so they wouldn't see us. Both men were dressed in black from head to toe and their faces were covered so I didn't see them.
'They were wearing military clothes, it wasn't common clothing, like they were soldiers.'

Charlie Hebdo's website lists 'Charb' as its publication director, and 'Cabu' as artistic director.
Mr Charbonnier was included in a 2013 Wanted Dead or Alive for Crimes Against Islam article published by Inspire, the terrorist propaganda magazine published by Al Qaeda.

Charlie Hebdo's editor-in-chief Gerard Biard escaped the carnage because he was in London. He told France Inter:

'I am shocked that people can have attacked a newspaper in France, a secular republic. I don't understand it.
'I don't understand how people can attack a newspaper with heavy weapons. A newspaper is not a weapon of war.'

Mr Biard said he did not believe the attack was linked to the magazine's latest front page, which featured novelist Michel Houellebecq, who has previously sparked controversy with comments about Islam.

And he said the magazine had not received threats of violence:

'Not to my knowledge, and I don't think anyone had received them as individuals, because they would have talked about it. There was no particular tension at the moment.'

A visibly shocked French President François Hollande, speaking live near the scene of the shooting, said:

'France is today in shock, in front of a terrorist attack.
'This newspaper was threatened several rimes in the past and we need to show we are a united country.
'We have to be firm, and we have to be stand strong with the international community in the coming days and weeks.
'We are at a very difficult moment following several terrorist attacks. We are threated because we are a country of freedom
'We will punish the attackers. We will look for the people responsible.'

Prime Minister David Cameron joined the condemnation of the attack, saying:

'The murders in Paris are sickening.
'We stand with the French people in the fight against terror and defending the freedom of the press.'

The British Foreign Office immediately updated is advice for travellers heading to Pairs, warning:

'There is a high threat from terrorism.'
It added: 'If you're in Paris or the Ile de France area take extra care and follow advice of French authorities.'

Charlie Hebdo was previously attacked with a firebomb in 2011

Luce Lapin and Laurent Leger, who have both worked at Charlie Hebdo, were using Twitter hours before the attack.

'The most recent tweet posted by Lapin praised a cartoonist called Cabu.
It read: 'Cabu, a great man! And honest, he doesn't eat fois gras.'

While Leger's made a political point about taxes. It said:

'Macron [French ministry of economy] wants more billionaires in France, the same that use tricks for not paying ISF [solidarity tax on wealth].'

A source close to the investigation said two men 'armed with a Kalashnikov and a rocket-launcher' stormed the building in central Paris and 'fire was exchanged with security forces.'

There were reports that the gunmen were looking for people by name.
The latest tweet published by the magazine's official Twitter account featured a cartoon of Abu Baghdadi, the leader of Islamic State.
After the shooting, hundreds of comments were posted on the Charlie Hebdo Twitter page, with one user, David Rault, writing:

'A sad day for freedom of expression.'

The offices of the same magazine were burnt down in a petrol attack in 2015 after running a magazine cover of the Prophet Mohammed as a cartoon character.
At the time, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Stephane Charbonnier, said Islam could not be excluded from freedom of the press. He said:

'If we can poke fun at everything in France, if we can talk about anything in France apart from Islam or the consequences of Islamism, that is annoying.'

Mr Charbonnier, also known as Charb, said he did not see the attack on the magazine as the work of French Muslims, but of what he called 'idiot extremists'.
The cover showed Mohammed saying:
'100 lashes if you are not dying of laughter'.

This week's Charlie Hebdo also featured the author Houellebecq, whose new novel imagines Muslims tkaing over the French government in 2022.
Inside, there was an editorial, attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, and more cartoons - one showing the Prophet with a clown's red nose.

Depiction of the Prophet is strictly prohibited in Islam, but the magazine denied it was trying to be provocative.
A firebomb attack gutted the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo in November 2011 after it put an image of the Prophet Mohammed on its cover.


Quote:
HOW CHARLIE HEBDO HAS BECOME BYWORD FOR ANTI-ISLAMIC SENTIMENT

Magazine Charlie Hebdo has become a byword for offensive statements in France after taking several highly provocative swipes at Islam.
The magazine once named Prophet Mohammed as its guest editor, published cartoons of the holy figure in the nude, and once renamed itself Sharia Hebdo with the cover slogan '100 lashes if you don't die of laughter'.
The controversy began in 2006 when the publication reprinted now-infamous cartoons of Prophet Mohammed by Danish artist Kurt Westergaard.
When the images originally appeared they lead to days of protests across the Middle East and in Western cities. The decision to reprint the images landed the then-editor in court under anti-terror laws, though he was later acquitted.

The Hebdo offices were burned to the ground in 2011 when attackers used Molotov ****tails to start a blaze early in the morning of November 2.
There was nobody in the building at the time, and the target was instead thought to be the magazine's computer system, which was completely destroyed.
Riot police were forced to stand guard outside the building for days following the attack, as the editors took a defiant stance, choosing to reprint the cartoon images multiple times.

In 2012 they again printed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as a deliberately provocative gesture while violent protests were taking place across the Middle East.

The following year the magazine's office again had to be surrounded by riot officers after they published a cartoon booklet depicting the Prohpet naked as a baby and being pushed in a wheelchair.
On the final page of the booklet there was a note from the editor, Stephane Charbonnier, saying the images were 'halal' because Muslims had worked on them, and that they were factually accurate as they had been derived from descriptions in the Koran.

The satirical publication, widely seen as France's answer to Private Eye, prides itself on a mixture of tongue-in-cheek reporting and investigative journalism.
Hebdo's current office building has no notices on the door to prevent a repeat of the attacks that have occurred in the past.

In an interview with De Volkskrant in January 2013, Mr Charbonnier revealed he had been placed under constant police protection for four months after one of the cartoon issues was published.
He shrugged off criticism that he was only publishing the images to gain notoriety for Hebdo, and insisted that he was instead defending the right to free speech.
Mr Charbonnier pointed out that the magazine had poked fun at feminism, nuclear energy and homeland security, but the Islam issues always attracted the most publicity.

Daily Mail UK, 8 January 2015


The two French brothers on the run from police after massacring 12 people in Paris were drug-taking petty criminals before being radicalised and sent to Yemen to train as killers.


Said Kouachi, 34, and sibling Cherif, 32, are orphans who were brought up in a care home in Brittany, northern France, before turning to a life of crime and then ultimately mass murder.

Cherif’s own lawyer once described him as an ‘apprentice loser’, a hashish smoking pizza delivery driver who didn’t know what to do with his life. A video has also surfaced of him rapping in 2005.

Meanwhile, a Facebook page under the name of Safid Kouachi has been uncovered. It was created in April 2014, and while it cannot be verified, it contains posts relating to radical Islam, along with images of bullets and weapons.

Hunted: Police are still tacking brother Said Kouachi, 34, and Cherif, 32, today after they murdered 12 people in cold blood in Paris yesterday, as details of their past were revealed






Losers: The brothers were once described as 'failed commandos', while Cherif's lawyer called him an 'apprentice loser' after he was arrested in 2005. Here he is the same year in a video posing as a rapper





Drug addict: Cherif was once described as a hasish-smoking pizza deliver man who used all his money to buy drugs. In this 2005 video he appears to repent for his crimes, but was arrested again just a year later






Deadbeat: At one time or another Cherif worked as a delivery driver, a fishmonger, a fitness instructor and a rapper, before being taken in by radical Imams who 'gave him a sense of importance'



In one picture, captioned le frero which translates as 'the brother', a man is shown training with an AK-47 rifle, the same used during the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices yesterday.
The page has now been taken down after it was widely circulated online and attracted abuse. It is not immediately clear who removed the page.
It has also been revealed today that officers searching the home of Cherif in Gennevilliers have found extremist material, videos by hate preachers, and child pornography, according to Le Point.

Cherif and Said were both known to police after a series of arrests over links to terror groups dating back to 2005, before they staged their attack yesterday.
Their brother-in-law, Hamid Mourad, 18, a student, was accused of acting as their driver but has since handed himself in to a police station in Charleville-Mezieres.

Said and Cherif, both orphans, were born in Paris but grew up in foster care in Renne, Brittany.
They returned to Paris aged 18, when they moved to a council estate in Paris's 19th arrondissement. During this time Cherif was arrested for both drug dealing and theft.
With no direction or aspirations, the pair were quickly taken in by a gang known as Buttes-Chaumont, run by two Imams from northern Paris, one of whom was Farid Benyettou, a janitor-turned-preacher.

Louis Caprioli, former deputy director of the anti-terror unit at the French intelligence agency, described the gang as 'young hoodlums who became radical. They organised a network to get people to Iraq,' according to The Times UK.

The brothers were known to have been radicalised some time around 2003 after the second Iraq War, apparently infuriated by Western troops and jets killing Arabic soldiers.


Cherif has since said he was outraged by images of Iraqi inmates being tortured at the Abu Ghraib prison run by the US in Iraq.

They were arrested over their connection to the gang in 2005 amid rumours they were training to go to Iraq, though in reality all this involved was a daily jog.
Cherif's lawyer presented him in court as a man taken in by people 'who gave him the feeling of being important.'








'Good body, shame it will be riddled with bullets:' This image was taken from a Facebook profile set up in April 2014 under the name of Said Kouachi. While it cannot be verified, it contains radical Islamic material, images of bullets and weapons training, and has attracted death threats since yesterday's attacks






My brother: Among the images is this picture, captioned le frero which translates as 'my brother', showing a man training with an AK-47 rifle, the same weapon used in yesterday's attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices






'Death for you and your brother': Among the other images on the page is this one of a bullet, which has attracted death threats in the comments section



Around this time he appeared on a French TV programme, apparently repenting for his crimes, and saying he had now become a rapper.
Footage, believed to be taken in 2005, shows Cherif wearing a cap, sunglasses, and performing music while dancing on stage alongside other artists.

However by 2008 he was back working as a fishmonger, and was again arrested trying to board a plane to Damascus while carrying an instruction manual on how to operate a Kalashnikov rifle, one of the weapons used in yesterday's attack.
He was sentenced to three years in jail, with 18 months suspended, but served only part of this sentence before being released.

During his trial he said he 'really believed in the idea' of jihad, and wanted to attack Jewish targets in France.






Shooting: Hooded gunmen flee the offices of French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris





Shocking: Gunmen shoot a wounded policeman (right) on the ground at point-blank range, outside the office


In 2010 he was implicated in a plot to free Smain Ait Ali Belkacem from jail. Belkman is the mastermind of the 1995 bombing of the St Michel metro station in Paris that killed eight people and wounded more than 100.
Cherif was again arrested, and Said's name also appeared in the police report. Although Cherif was held for four months, neither brother ended up being charged.
Cherif's current home address is a flat in Gennevilliers, a residential area around six miles outside of Paris.

He is believed to have lived in a fourth-floor apartment with his wife since 2006. Average rents in the area are around €500 a month and there is a large population.

Neighbours say that Kouachi's flat was raided at around 3pm yesterday.
The owner of the local bakery, who gave his name as Mr Salah, said Kouachi would visit most days to buy bread. He said he also saw him at the nearby Ennour mosque and also a local prayer room.

'He seemed very normal. He wore normal clothes, sports clothes,' he said.
'He seemed very nice, very polite. He had a wife who wore a headscarf and I sometimes saw them pushing a pram, though I don't know if it was their child.
'I was very shocked when I saw the news. I would not have expected him to do something like this. Everybody at the mosque was very shocked yesterday. I want to speak out and let people know not all Muslims are like this. This is not what Islam says'.





Armed gunmen faced police officers near the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris





French police officers and forensic experts examine the Citreon hatchback car used by the gunmen



Cherif is thought to have ties to French jihadist Djamel Beghal, who spent 10 years in prison for planning terrorist attacks
Cherif and Beghal were thought to have participated in militant training together.


Said Kouachi is said to have lived on the first floor of a tower block in the Croix Rouge quarter of Reims, where police raids took place last night.
At around 10.40pm yesterday armed police had blocked off areas of the neighbourhood and were seen entering the block of flats.
Said is believed to have lived with his partner and two children. Forensics officers were seen searching the apartment today, and the front door has been boarded up.

It is thought that both Said and Cherif may have been in Syria as recently as last year, while witnesses to yesterday's massacre said the brothers shouted they were from Al Qaeda in the Arabic Peninsula, a group operating out of Yemen.
Intelligence officers have been told the brothers attended jihadi training camps in Yemen overseen by Al Qaeda - one is believed to have made two visits, stopping initially in the capital Sanaa.


They are said to be checking whether he went there to study.Al Qaeda operates several remote training camps in the east of Yemen that have been the target of US-led drone attacks and where trainers have taught Europeans, including Britons and French nationals.
Detectives are trying to confirm the information and seeking to check whether the brothers had received military training in Algeria with militant groups.





Another image taken from the Facebook page under Said Kouachi's name shows a pile of bullets as other users have been posing death threats and abuse on his wall






'God is great': Among the posts which appear on the profile is this news article detailing a successful ISIS attack on Kobane, which was put up with the caption Allahou akbar - meaning God is great






Support: Another news report posted is this one of a man taking his sons to fight with ISIS in Syria, this time captioned with Subhan'Allah which means 'God is glorious'



If the Yemen link is confirmed, it is likely the men were connected to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which the US President’s former counter-terror adviser once called ‘the most active operational franchise’ of Al Qaeda outside Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Chilling footage of the attackers firing a burst of shots on the run suggests they were well-trained.

At least two had Kalashnikov assault rifles, and one a rocket-propelled grenade. They wore paramilitary-style black uniforms and hoods.


Quote:
You say to the media, it was Al Qaeda in Yemen
>What gunmen are claimed to have said inside office
Former US lieutenant-colonel Tony Shaffer, who was CIA-trained and worked with special forces in Afghanistan, said:

‘They were very professional, very organised. It was well-timed.
'You can’t pull off something like this without military training. Whoever they were, they were highly trained in military tactics.’
One man lost a shoe as he fled, but quickly picked it up, suggesting to anti-terror experts that his DNA might be on their ‘radar’.

Witnesses said they spoke perfect French without accents and their rapid getaway argued an intimate knowledge of the French capital.








Precise: The bullet groupings on this car windscreen, with nine rounds grouped into just a few inches of space to the left hand side, show the attackers were well trained with their weapons






Ambulances gathered in the street outside the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo's office in Paris





Masked gunmen shouting 'Allahu Akbar' stormed the Paris offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo



Police are studying CCTV taken in recent days around the magazine’s office, as they believe the cell must have carried out reconnaissance – and possibly operated with inside information, knowing there was an editorial meeting yesterday.

Last night, as the killers were frantically hunted, there were urgent questions over why the brothers were not being more closely monitored, and how they had been able to leave the country and travel to the Middle East.
A police source close to the manhunt said:

‘The enquiry is now focusing on the Belgium border region of France. Three men are being pursued.’

Like Britain, until yesterday France believed its greatest threat was posed by returning IS fighters.
In recent months, Islamic State has taken the title of most feared terror group from Al Qaeda – which has threatened major attacks against the West as a result.

The gunman killed at least 12 people, including the paper's editor and a cartoonist, before escaping in a car



French intelligence believes more than 1,000 nationals and another 500 North Africans with links to France are currently with militants in Iraq and Syria.
There are at least five IS fighting units made up of French and Belgian nationals.


AQAP was established in 2003 in Saudi Arabia, but was forced to flee to Yemen, where a weak state allowed it to grow to 400 troops.
It was implicated in the 2009 underwear bomb plot, in which Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was discovered on a Detroit-bound plane trying to detonate liquid explosives in his underpants.
According to Stanford University, the group is currently led by the Yemeni Nasser al-Wuhayshi, an apprentice of Osama Bin Laden.

Update re: VIDEOs/PhOtOs-Paris-3 Terrorists 4 Hostages Shot Dead

THREE TERRORISTS AND FOUR HOSTAGES DEAD: Bloody End to French Sieges as Commandos Storm Kosher Deli and Printing Firm Where Magazine Assassins and Policewoman's Killer were Holed up - but FEMALE Accomplice is on The Run

  • Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi were killed as they tried to fight their way out of a print works 25 miles from Paris
  • Fellow jihadi Amedy Coulibay also killed after taking hostages at a Jewish grocery shop in east of city
  • His girlfriend Hayat Boumeddiene, described as armed and dangerous, is still on the run
  • Four hostages died at grocery shop while Michel Catalano, who was held by Kouachi brothers escaped unharmed
  • All three dead terrorists were born in France but linked to same terror cell
Daily Mail UK, 9 January 2015





Three Islamic jihadists were dead tonight after special forces brought an end to more than two days of slaughter which have left at least 17 dead and spread terror across France. Said (bottom right) and Cherif (top right) Kouachi, the brothers who had assassinated 12 people at satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, died in a blaze of gunfire (right) at a printworks near Paris where they had been holed up with one hostage, who survived.
Moments later, dozens of commandos (left) stormed a Jewish grocery 25 miles away in east Paris where accomplice Amedey Coulibaly (top left) was threatening to kill a number of terrified people including women and children. The 32-year-old, responsible for the death of a woman police officer on Thursday, was also 'neutralised' in the assault. Tragically, four hostages were killed while another five were badly wounded. There were reports tonight that another gunman had escaped the scene and Coulibaly was said to be working with 'dangerous' girlfriend Hayat Boumeddiene (bottom left) whose whereabouts are unknown.



Witnesses watched in horror as freed hostages fled the scene screaming, some carrying their children in their arms. It emerged tonight that four people had been killed while another five are critically wounded. As many as 30 had survived by hiding in a cold store where they kept silent for hours.





Going in: Special forces storm the Jewish grocery to the east of Paris where terrorist Amedey Coulibaly had taken at least seven people hostage





Terrified: Hostages - who had been held for hours with Coulibaly threatening to kill them - flee from the shop, crying with relief


The bloody climax to the terrorists' rampage began at around 4.30pm when the Kouachi brothers came out firing' Kalashnikovs as officers launched an assault on a building in Dammartin-en-Goele, north-east of Paris. Commandos were seen rappelling from a Puma helicopter on to the roof as flash bang grenades were hurled at the factory to disorientate the jihadists, who had been inside for nine hours. Explosions and automatic gunfire could be heard up to a mile away. Said, 34, and Cherif, 32, were both killed. They had earlier told police that they were 'ready to die as martyrs'. One officer from the elite GIGN commando unit is thought to have been injured, while hostage Michel Catalano – the manager of a design company – escaped unharmed.Shortly after her husband was freed, an emotional Veronique Catalano was waiting to speak to him. 'We very reassured and feel very relieved that it's all over', she said from her home in Othis.'We're still waiting for news. We're not all back together yet.'







Dead: Amedey Coulibaly was shot dead after taking at least six hostages at a grocery store in east Paris. He is believed to be have been working with his girlfriend Hayat Boumeddiene (right) who was said to be 'armed and dangerous'








Cherif Kouachi (top), 32, and his brother Said were killed in a firefight with French special forces at a industrial siteAround 15 minutes after special forces took down the Kouachi brothers, the Paris siege was also descending into a bloody fire fight. As dozens of officers poured into the shop close to Porte de Vincennes, eye-witnesses watched freed hostages screaming in panic as they fled the scene.Some carried children. "It's war!" screamed a mother as she dragged her daughter from the scene.Coulibay had warned he would kill all of his hostages if police launched an assault on the Kouachis, who were linked to the same terror cell.

Bloody climax: A huge ball of fire erupts amid gunfire and explosions as French special forces shoot dead the two Charlie Hebdo gunmen




Explosions were seen moments later at a second hostage siege in Paris where an accomplice was threatening to kill captives if police stormed the Kouachis



More explosions followed and smoke could be seen rising from the building. Others reported seeing ambulances race to the scene.A short time later three French special forces officers could be seen on the roof of the building.Then, at around 5.30 pm, three large helicopters arrived at the scene and landed on the roof. The hostage was named as Michel Catalano.His family were gathered at their detached home in the nearby village of Othis as the siege came to a dramatic end in Dammartin-en-Goele. Police were last night stationed outside the property. One officer told MailOnline:

'The family are all here. They have come to support Mrs Catalano. They are all gathered together but they are too upset to speak.'


Atlantis Farina, 17, who lives close to the scene was returning from high school shortly after 4pm when he heard explosions.'The ground here started shaking, that is what shocked me most,' he said.

'Then there was lots of what sounded like gunfire, it sounded like the suspects were firing back at the police. 'There was smoke too - like they had thrown a grenade. I am so glad it is over, it bought panic to the area. My mum was very worried, and I was quite scared too.'

The man is pictured in a second shot, carrying a small child in his arms while the kosher grocery remains illuminated behind himPhilippe Lapotre, 63, was at his home across a field from the factory when he heard the explosions followed by gun fire and came out to see.


'My friends and family have been calling me all day to see if I was ok,' he said. 'When I came out, three huge Puma helicopters came over.'Carole and Thierry Charpentier were at home when the siege ended. 'We have been at home, just watching the television all day,' said Mrs Charpentier. 'We are so very relieved it is over, and are glad the police have got the suspects and the hostage is free. 'We would like the thank and praise the police and the special forces. But we are angry too, that this had happened. We are angry at what horrible things they have done'.

In Paris, police say Coulibaly, 32, was using the hostages as a bargaining chip to try to scupper the police response further north.

He was said to be working with a woman called Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, considered ‘armed and dangerous’, and is said to have yelled at police: 'You know who I am' when they responded to the shooting.

MailOnline understands that police had earlier scrambled phone signals in the area after the gunmen contacted Coulibay while inside the building.
Revelations that a call was made by the Kouachis suggests they may have instructed Coulibay to carry out today's atrocity to leverage their escape.
There were reports of another alert near the Eiffel Tower, with police seen training their guns down the stairs of a Metro station, but it was a false alarm.
Local media reports that the brothers met Coulibay while in prison.

He is believed to be a fellow member of the Buttes Chaumont – a gang from the 19th arrondissement of Paris that sent jihadists to fight in Iraq.
The Kouachis were cornered in Dammartin-en-Goele, around 25 miles from the capital, this morning after leading police on a dramatic car chase.
After exchanging gunfire with officers, they fled on foot into printing works where they are holding a hostage, believed to be a 26-year-old male.

How three days of terror unfolded after gunmen first stormed the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris on Wednesday


A salesman called Didier later told how he was supposed to meet a client called Michel at the print works, but was instead met by one of the gunmen.
He said he shook hands with the militant because he had identified himself as a police officer and was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle.
He said:

'When I arrived, my client came out with an armed man who said he was from the police.
'My client told me to leave so I left,' Didier said, identifying the man he was to meet with as Michel.'
He said the black-clad man who was wearing a bullet-proof vest told him: 'Leave, we don't kill civilians anyhow'.
'That really struck me,' Didier added. 'So I decided to call the police. I guess it was one of the terrorists.
'It could have been a policeman if he hadn't told me "we don't kill civilians". They were heavily armed like elite police.'
'I didn't know it was a hostage situation, or a robbery. I just knew something wasn't quite right. I think I am going to go and see my colleagues and play the lottery because I was very lucky this morning.'


Meanwhile, a worker in a nearby building told how he barricaded the doors as the hostage crisis unfolded.
He said:

'None of us feel safe. We can hear the helicopters. It is terrifying.'
One of the pupils inside the Dammartin-en-Goele school said by phone from inside: 'We're scared. We've called our parents to make sure they're OK.
'We've been told we have to stay inside. All the lights have been switched off.'

WORKER TELLS OF HIS LUCKY ESCAPE AFTER SHAKING HANDS WITH HOSTAGE GUNMAN

A salesman has told how he shook hands with one of the gunman when they arrived at the print works thinking he was a police officer.
He said: 'When I arrived my client came out with an armed man who said he was from the police.
'My client told me to leave so I left,' Didier said, identifying the man he was to meet with as Michel.
'I was in front of the door. I shook Michel's hand and I shook the hand of one of the terrorists.'
He said the black-clad man who was wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying what looked like a Kalashnikov rifle told him: 'Leave, we don't kill civilians anyhow'.
'That really struck me,' Didier added. 'So I decided to call the police. I guess it was one of the terrorists.
'It could have been a policeman if he hadn't told me "we don't kill civilians". They were heavily armed like elite police.'
'I didn't know it was a hostage situation, or a robbery. I just knew something wasn't quite right.
'I think I am going to go and see my colleagues and play the lottery because I was very lucky this morning.'



Snipers had their weapons trained on the building and helicopters were hovering overhead as negotiations were underway with the Islamic fanatics.
Runways have been closed at Charles de Gaulle airport, around five miles away over fears the gunmen have rocket launchers that can down planes.
Police confirmed a hostage had been taken and that officers are 'trying to establish contact' with the suspects.

The family of Michel Catalano, the director of the firm at the centre of the siege told Le Figaro newspaper that they had not spoken to him since this morning and feared he may be the hostage.
Mr Catalano and his wife Veronique live in Othis, less than four miles from the scene.

After a meeting with President Hollande when news of the siege broke, politician Nicolas Dupont-Aignan said:

'It's time to terrorise the terrorists.'

Referring to Islam, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said:
'We are in a war against terrorists, we're not in a war with religion.'

An Interior Ministry source confirmed that the men had said they were 'ready to die as martyrs'.
Prior to the standoff, the suspects hijacked a Peugeot 206 from a woman in Ermenonville Forest, close to the village of Montagny-Sainte-Felicite, agyer abandoning their Renualt Clio.

A teacher named Charlene Blondelle was driving to work in the morning when she saw two men with guns stop the vehicle in front of her.
It was only when she got to work at the village school that she realised the two heavily-armed men were the Kouachi brothers.

Jean Paul Douet, the mayor of the village, said Charlene saw the two men force the woman out of the car and sit in the back seat.
It is thought that she was later let out of the car as the men continued their journey to Dammartin-en-Goele.
Both women are with police officers in Nanteuil-le-Haudouin. It is not thought that the woman sustained any injuries.

Mr Douet told MailOnline:

'The car was taken at around 8.10am. The village teacher arrived at her school to see a car being hijacked in front of her.
'She saw their weapons, and in particular their rocket-propelled grenade launcher.'

French media reported the brothers were in a car when they came upon her and abandoned that to use hers instead.
She recognised them as the wanted men, a police source said.
A spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior said there was an exchange of gunfire with police who were manning a roadblock on the N2 motorway as the brother sped towards Paris.
He told France Info radio that no-one was injured in the clash.





Holed up: The gunmen escaped on foot into a small printing business (above) called Creating Trend Discovery, just before 9am GMT





Terror in the midst: Dammartin-en-Goele is in lockdown, with children in its three schools being kept inside for their own protection



Dozens of police then pursued the brothers along the National 2 highway, ending in Dammartin-en-Goele, close to the area where the huge manhunt had been focused on a forest overnight.
They escaped on foot with a hostage into a small printing business named Creating Trend Discovery, just before 10am (9am GMT).
Residents were warned on the town's official website to stay indoors and pupils were being kept inside school.

Natoly Ratsimbazasy, a hairdresser in Dammartan-en-Goele, said the town - of 6,000 inhabitants - was deserted.
He told MailOnline:

'It is very quiet in the centre. We have all been told to stay indoors and away from the windows. They have sealed off the area. We are all very scared, especially for the children. We don't know how this is all going to end.'

A restaurateur in the town said: 'It is insane what is happening, I can't believe it.'

Universities and schools in the surroundings of the hostage crisis are shut for the day.
Student Nishanth Selvakumer, 20, said:

'Every one is so shocked. There is not much work in Dammartain so most people work on the industrial estate.
'In the village, they have been told to stay in their homes and stay away from the windows. The schools are all shut and the universities too.'

Rayane Bouallayuer, 18, said his 11-year-old sister and his father were barricaded into the school.

'My sister went to school at 8am but at 9am we saw on TV that the suspects came here so my father went to get her. Now they cannot leave.'
'The teachers have spoken to the kids and explained to them what happened in Paris. Yesterday they had a minutes silence at school but I think today they are very scared. Some of them were crying.
'My family is Muslim but these men are not real Muslims. They are not like me. They do not represent us. Now it is going to get much worse for us real Muslims in France. '

Carole Morais, who works in the town hall, said:

'We're locked in and following events on the internet'.

The hunt also affected flights at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, which closed two runways to arrivals to avoid interfering in the standoff or endangering planes.
The dramatic development came after thousands of police and soldiers had focused their hunt for the gunmen in a nearby forest amid fears they were planning a final 'spectacular' before capture.

The search for the gunmen last night focused on a cave in a vast forest in northern France, but had turned up nothing.

The pair left behind their identity cards in the Citroen they used for the massacre – a move which appeared deliberate, intelligence specialists said.
There was also no sign of the AK-47s and rocket launchers which they had earlier been seen with, suggesting they had taken them into the forest.
Police now fear they could take hostages or are planning a final 'spectacular' before capture as the search enters its third day.

Meanwhile, shots rang out close to the Porte de Vincennes in Paris as another hostage crisis unfolded.

'There is a hostage situation - shots have been fired,' said a Paris police spokesman, who said up to five people were originally being held in Vincennes and there were 'believed to be two fatalities'.

French police have now named the suspected hostage taker as Amedy Coulibaly, 33, while his girlfriend, Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, is also believed to be involved.

SUSPECTED THIRD HOSTAGE-TAKER A 'CLOSE ASSOCIATE' OF THE KOUACHI BROTHERS

The hostage taker in a new terror attack on Paris is a close associate of the Kouachi brothers, who killed 12 people in the Charlie Hebdo massacre two days ago.
Two people have been killed in a Kosher store in eastern Paris where a 'heavily armed' Islamic terrorist is currently holding hostages, police believe.
Sources in the Paris force said the suspected murderer was Amedy Coulibay, 32, who is wearing body armour and brandishing two Kalashnikov automatic weapons.
It's thought that he is of Senegalese origin and attended the Addawa Mosque in Paris with the Kouachi brothers.
As part of a jihadist cell with Said and Cherif Kouachi, he was involved in the failed prison break attempt of Smain Ait Ali Belkacem - the mastermind behind a wave of bombings in France in 1995 which killed eight people and wounded 120.
Coulibay, who was himself jailed in 2010 for his involvement in the plot, has a long history of both petty and serious crimes.
The only boy born in a family of 10 in Juvisy, Essonne, he first came to police attention as a 17-year-old delinquent.
Convictions for theft and drug offences followed. In September 2002 in Orleans, Loiret, he was arrested for the armed robbery of a bank.
It's believed he became involved with the younger of the Kouachi brothers, Cherif, when he was part of a jihadist recruitment ring in Paris that sent fighters to join the conflict in Iraq.
Kouachi was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison.
He is said to be working with a woman called Hayat Boumeddiene, 27, who is also said to be 'armed and dangerous'.
Coulibaly is thought to have become radicalised when he came under the influence of Djamel Beghal, a French Algerian convicted of terrorism.
Beghal was once accused of being Osama Bin Laden's main European recruiter and has been linked with Cherif Kouachi.
Coulibaly admitted to police he saw Beghal every three weeks but purely for 'religious instruction.' It is understood that he married Hyat Boumeddiene in a religious ceremony after she waited four years for him to come out of jail following his conviction for armed robbery.
The couple were never married in a civil ceremony – the only marriage legally accepted in France.








Pictured: Police officer Clarissa Jean-Philippe was gunned down as she attended a routine traffic accident in Montrouge at 8am yesterday



Coulibay is believed to be the one responsible for shooting a policewoman dead in south Paris on Thursday.
The revelation has led police to link it to the murder of 12 people around the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine on Wednesday.

Clarissa Jean-Philippe, 27, was unarmed and directing traffic in Montrouge, in south Paris, when she was gunned down by Coulibay, who was still wearing body armour and using an automatic assault rifle.
The murderer has been identified by police who said he belonged to the Buttes Chaumont network, which sent Jihadi fighters to Iraq.
'He was in the same Buttes Chaumount cell as the Kouachi brothers,' said a source close to the investigation. 'He was friends of both of them.'
Two of Coulibay relatives were arrested in nearby Grigny during a police raid this morning.
Like the Kouachis, he is known to have been radicalised by an Islamic preacher in Paris, before expressing a wish to fight in Iraq or Syria.

11.30am: Police surround a property in Crepy-En-Valois after suspects reported to be inside




It came as Prime Minister Manuel Valls admitted the Kouachi brothers were on the radar of the intelligence services and 'were likely' to have been under surveillance before the atrocity.

Yesterday, the brothers abandoned their car near the village of Abbaye de Longpont shortly after robbing a petrol station yesterday.
Anti-terror officers found a jihadi flag and a Molotov ****tail in the Renault Clio the gunmen hijacked to escape the French capital – and two men fitting their descriptions were seen running into the Foret de Retz, which covers an area larger than Paris.

A petrol station attendant in Villers-Cotterets told police he had seen Kalashnikovs (AK-47s) and rocket launchers in the vehicle which had sped away after the men had stolen food and water.

There are fewer than 300 residents in Longpont and armed officers were carrying out house-to-house searches as helicopters with thermal imagery equipment capable of identifying human bodies among the trees were called in.
Last night, interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said a total of nine people were now in custody and more than 90 witnesses had been interviewed.

When and why that surveillance was dropped were two of the many questions being asked yesterday as a senior American counter-terrorism official confirmed that the brothers were on the US no-fly list.
But officials were tight-lipped about what else they know about them, including whether they fought in the Middle East with extremist groups.





Grief-stricken: Jeannette Bougrab, the partner of 'Charb' – Stephane Charbonnier, the editor of Charlie Hebdo – joins a rally outisde the Paris City Hall. In an emotional interview, she said she always knew he would be assassinated


CNN reported that the US 'was given information from the French intelligence agency that Said Kouachi traveled to Yemen as late as 2011 on behalf of the Al Qaeda affiliate there'.
The network said Said received a variety of weapons training from Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), including on how to fire weapons. It added: 'It is also possible Said was trained in bomb making.'

In 2008, Cherif Kouachi was sentenced to three years in jail for his association with an underground organisation.
'While in jail, he came under the influence of the one-time British-based terrorist Djemal Beghal, who was sentenced to ten years in prison by the French courts for terrorist offenders.
But despite the security services knowing the men were radicalised and suspected of having been trained in military tactics in east Yemen by Al Qaeda, they were not under surveillance on Wednesday.

Last night there had already been several revenge attacks, with shots fired at a Muslim prayer room in the southern town of Port-la-Nouvelle.
A Muslim family was shot at in their car in Caromb, in southern Vaucluse, while 'Death to Arabs' was daubed on a mosque in Poitiers, central France.

FACES OF THE 12 VICTIMS OF THE CHARLIE HEBDO MASSACRE REVEALED

+40


rench satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo's deputy chief editor Bernard Maris and cartoonists Georges Wolinski, Jean Cabut, aka Cabu, Charb, Tignous and Honore (Philippe Honore)

The names of the 12 people killed in cold by blood by three gunmen during a horrifying attack at the Charlie Hebdo offices on Wednesday morning have been revealed.
The dead include eight editorial staff, one worker, one visitor, one policeman, who was on the cartoonists' security detail, and one policeman who was shot dead on the street.
Heroic Muslim police officer Ahmed Merabet, who was executed by a terrorist gunman on the streets of Paris while he begged for his life.
Shocking footage of the attack on the Charlie Hebdo office shows Mr Merabet on the ground and begging for mercy as he is killed casually by a gunshot to the head. Witnesses say he asked 'do you want to kill me?' before the gunman replied 'OK, chief'.
It is understood that Mr Merabet was a married Parisian cycle cop assigned to the 11th arrondissement – the Paris neighbourhood where Charlie Hebdo's office is located and known for its dining and fine wines.
As the French magazine vowed to publish next week in defiance of the massacre, one French mourner wrote: 'Ahmed Merabet died protecting the innocent from hate. I salute him.'

Elsa Cyat was the only woman to die in the massacre, while policeman Ahmed Merabet was shot dead in the streets



The second police officer to be killed in the attack was Franck Brinsolaro, 49, a brigadier and protection officer for the magazine's editor Stephane Charbonnier.
The married 49-year-old lived in Bernay, France, and was the father of two children. His wife, Ingrid Brinsolaro, is editor of the Awakening Normand, Bernay, a newspaper that belongs to the group Publihebdos, as Hebdo de Sevre et Maine.

The team at Publihebdos have released a statement regarding the killing.
It read:

'Publihebdos teams are in shock after the cowardly attack and great seriousness that hit Charlie Hebdo today.
'This barbaric attack left many victims including a downed police was the husband of Ingrid Brinsolaro, our editor at Bernay. We are devastated and very sad.'

Mr Charbonnier, the defiant editor whose satirical newspaper dared to poke fun at everything from religion to feminism and spoke out fiercely against political correctness, was another of the 12 victims.
Just two years ago, the 47-year-old - nicknamed Charb - declared:

'I am not afraid of retaliation. I have no children, no wife, no car, no credit,' he said after receiving death threats two years ago. 'It perhaps sounds a bit pompous, but I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.'

Mr Charbonnier, who took over as editor in 2009, grew up in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, northern France and joined Charlie Hebdo in the early 1990s as a designer.
The magazine's cartoonists were also targeted by the gunmen in the attack.
Jean 'Cabu' Cabut, the magazine's 76-year-old lead cartoonist was an almost legendary cultural figure in France.
Known by the nickname 'Cabu', he was renowned for his quick wit and youthful style. He was also notorious for his drawing of Mohammed, which sparked fury after adorning the cover of Charlie Hebdo in 2006.
Despite all the controversy, Mr Cabut was insistent that art should not be constrained. Perhaps his most famous quote was:

'Sometimes laughter can hurt – but laughter, humour and mockery are our only weapons.'

Georges Wolinski, an 80-year-old who was as renowned for his colourful home life as he was for being a 'master of satirical illustration'.

Married twice, he once joked about his dying wish, saying:

Mr Wolinski was born in Tunis on June 28, 1934 to a Franco-Italian mother and a Polish Jewish father. He joined Hara-Kiri with Cabu in 1960 and became renowned for his cartoons, which spoofed politics and sexuality.
Bernard 'Tignous' Verlhac, was a renowned pacifist. The 57-year-old Parisian had been drawing for the French press since 1980 and originally made his name on comic publication L'idiot international.

Mourners were also last night paying tribute to Philippe Honore, a regular contributor to Charlie Hebdo who specialised in 'literary puzzles'. The 73-year-old was born in Vichy, central France, and was first published aged just 16.
Victim Bernard Maris was a Left-wing economist, known to readers as 'Uncle Bernard'. Heartbroken friends said the 68-year-old was a 'cultured, kind and very tolerant man'.

Also killed was Michel Renaud, who did not work for Charlie Hebdo, but had been invited to the magazine's offices as guest editor. He was the founder of 'Rendez-vous de Carnet de Voyage', a travel-themed art festival.

It has been reported that the final two victims are Frédéric Boisseau, a maintenance worker, and Elsa Cayat.
Ms Cayat, the only female victim of the gunmen, was a columnist and analyst for the magazine, according to Le Figaro.
Post mortems will be held on Thursday, according to reports citing the prosecutor of Paris, François Molins.

Daily Mail UK, 10 January 2015




The first pictures of two of the four hostages killed in yesterday's kosher supermarket siege in Paris have emerged. Yohan Cohen, 22, Yoav Hattab, 21, Philippe Braham, in his forties, and François-Michel Saada, believed to be in his sixties, were the four hostages killed in the attack, French Jewish organisation Crif confirmed. Pictures of Mr Hattab (inset left), a Tunisian, and Mr Cohen (left) can be revealed, 24 hours after the siege came to a climax as armed police raided the Jewish grocery.


Meanwhile it was revealed that a heroic customer at the kosher supermarket in Paris snatched one of the terrorist's guns and turned it on the hostage taker - only to find it was jammed, leaving the extremist to execute him in cold blood, according to a survivor who fled the shoot-out as armed police officers and soldiers raided the store.

Mickael B, as he wishes to be known, was held in the store with his three-year-old son when the fellow hostage suddenly grabbed the weapon which had been left on the counter. But, after discovering the gun had been left there because it was malfunctioning, terrorist Amedy Coulibaly shot and killed the hostage. Meanwhile footage has emerged of the moment French commandos launched flash grenades into the grocery store before hostage taker Amedy Coulibaly was gunned down last night.

Giving a terrifying account, Mickael said:

‘I was heading for the check-out with the goods in my hand when I heard a bang – very loud. I thought it was a firecracker at first. But turning I saw a black man armed with two Kalashnikov rifles and I knew what was happening.’
‘I grabbed my son by the collar and fled to the back of the store. There, with other customers, we ran down a spiral staircase into the basement. We all piled into one of two cold rooms – our door wouldn’t close. We were terrified.
‘Five minutes later a store employee was sent down by the killer. She said he said we were to go back up otherwise there’d be carnage. I refused to go up.
‘By now my son, understanding nothing, was panicking. Then minutes later the employee comes back down with the same message. This time I decided to follow her up the spiral staircase.

‘At the top a man was dying in a pool of his own blood. The terrorist introduced himself to us. He was strangely calm. "I am Amedi Coulibaly, Malian and Muslim. I belong to the Islamic State," he told us.'
‘Then he told us to put our phones on the ground. He walked around the store, armed, totally justifying himself, speaking of Palestine, French prisons, his brothers in Syria and many other things.
‘Suddenly one of the customers tried to grab one of his guns which he’d left on the counter. It wasn’t working. The terrorist had put it there because it had blocked after the first shots,' Mickael told Le Point.
‘He turned and shot at the customer who died on the spot.'

Mickael added:

'He then demanded that I call the media, which I did. From then on the phone in the store never stopped ringing. It was mainly journalists. I told them now was not the time. My son started to cry he wanted to go home. He said the terrorist was a bad man.
‘I managed to get my phone out discreetly and got in touch with the police outside while the terrorist was roaming the aisles.
‘A policeman told me that we should be ready to throw ourselves flat on the ground when the assault came, which would be soon.
‘It was obvious that the terrorist was preparing to die. He said it was his reward. He had a weapon in each hand and boxes of cartridges nearby. He suddenly began to pray.
‘My mobile was still on. The police had heard it all. Minutes later the shop grille was lifted. We knew it was the start of the assault.
‘We flung ourselves to the ground. The noise was deafening. He was dead. It was over.’

Sarcelles, the Parisian suburb Mr Cohen lived in, was in mourning this evening, with the town's deputy mayor Francois Pupponi saying his family were 'devastated'.
Mr Pupponi added: ‘He was a nice boy – I knew him and his friends by sight. This tragedy affects all of the city and the Jewish community.’

The family are expected to receive the 22-year-old's body tomorrow or Monday.

Meanwhile dramatic footage has emerged of the moment police stormed in to the Paris kosher supermarket last night before terrorist Amedy Coulibaly was shot dead.
Commandos launched flash grenades into the grocery and fired into the shop before a man believed to be the hostage taker was gunned down. Moments later, terrified captives could be seen running to safety.
It comes as it was revealed that the Isis fanatic had slaughtered four hostages before officers launched the raid.

Last night, chilling images emerged of bodies lying on the floor of the bullet-ridden shop after several shoppers were taken hostage inside the grocery store - including women and children. Further images emerged of Coulibaly's bloodied body lying on a pavement after the siege had come to a dramatic end.
It has also been revealed there were 500 calls made between the phone belonging to Coulibaly's wife Hayat Boumeddiene and a phone belonging to one of the wives of the Kouachi brothers.

Boumeddiene, France's most wanted woman, is now in Syria after crossing the Turkish border earlier this month.

A young Malian Muslim who was working in the supermarket when it was raided has hailed as a 'hero' after it was revealed that he led Jewish customers away from the terrorist to safety in the kosher store.
Lassana Bathily, 24, helped up to 15 people to take shelter in the store's walk in freezer.

‘I opened the door and told a number of people to get in there. I turned off the light, turned off the freezer and closed the door,’ he said.
‘I told them, stay calm I am going out.’

Using a goods lift he escaped and was able to give the police valuable information about what was happening inside and where the hostages were hiding.
Shy and reluctant to tell his story he admitted that after the shoot-out many of the customers came to shake his hand and thank him for what he did.
Today his picture – labelled Malian Muslim – has been tweeted around the world as a symbol of the good of people united against terrorism.

Questions were asked today of how the Charlie Hebdo shooters had been able to carry out the attacks. Both the Kouachi brothers are understood to have been on British and American terror watch lists.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said:

'There was a failing, of course. That's why we have to analyse what happened.
'They wanted to attack tolerance, the Jews of France once again. Four died yesterday and without the professionalism of forces that figure would have been much higher.
'We must never lower our guard. I am telling you this with a great deal of strength. We must carry on. We are doing our best, our utmost in order to fight against terrorism but there is always ways for terrorism to slip in.
'We have to be really strong, really tough as far as the enemies of freedom are concerned.'
Referring to a unity rally being held tomorrow, he said: 'It will be a rally which will be unbelievable and remain in the annals of history. It will shout and express its love and freedom and tolerance. Tomorrow's rally will be a cry for freedom.'

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said authorities are 'determined' to 'take the necessary measures to be able to protect the country'.
He said agencies are working to 'obtain intelligence from the investigations with regard to those who were the origin of these criminal acts'.
Mr Cazeneuve said:

'That's the case for terrorist acts but also for all the risks that the country is being confronted with, as for other countries in the European Union.'

Amedy Coulibaly, who was killed in the raid, threatened to kill his hostages if police attempted to storm the Charlie Hebdo terrorists who, at the time, were engaged in a similar standoff with police.

In the hours after the dramatic raid on the store, an Israeli government official said 15 hostages were rescued while French president Francois Hollande confirmed that four people were killed.
Coulibaly was also responsible for the fatal shooting of a policewoman on Thursday. It has now been suggested this attack may have been an aborted attempt to attack a Jewish school.

Prosecutor Francois Molins also said that several people have been handed preliminary charges in the investigation following the three-day rampage that has terrified France. They include family members of the three suspects, who were killed by police Friday.
He added that one of the two gunmen in the other standoff Friday was wounded in the throat in a shootout with police before being killed later in the day.

One woman who visited the Kosher shop described its manager Michel Emsalem as a 'kind' and 'patient' man.
Latifa Benjamaa, 37, said:

'He is kind, nice and polite. He is not someone who cares about religion. I often went to shop there and I'm a Muslim,' she said.

While it remained unclear whether the manager was involved in the incident, she added: 'This has nothing to do with religion. You are not allowed to kill in my religion. These men had an objective. These people are not doing this for Allah.'

Mrs Benjamaa said she feared people would begin rioting in the street.
She said: 'Now they are going to be repercussions. There will be war on the streets. Everyone is going to fear everyone. Before, things were fine.'

Earlier yesterday, as news of the hostage situation broke, police ordered all shops in Paris' famed Jewish district to be immediately closed.
The mayor's office in Paris announced the closures of shops along the Rosiers street in Paris' Marais neighbourhood, in the heart of the tourist district and about a kilometre away from the offices of newspaper Charlie Hebdo where 12 people were killed on Wednesday.

A 20-year-old student was among the hostages taken at the kosher shop in Paris. The young woman, whose name remains unknown, called her uncle who works nearby from the basement of the building where she was being held.






Earlier reports that there was a serious incident developing near the Trocadero in central Paris were incorrect - it remains open and running after what was a false alarm.



The siege at the grocery store occurred after the Charlie Hebdo killers in Dammartin-en-Goele found themselves holed up with a hostage at a business premises further north - and were believed to have made contact with an associate.
Police immediately scrambled phone signals in the area – but not before the killers were able to make their call.

It was feared that Said Kouachi and his brother Cherif contacted Amedy Coulibaly – and possibly ordered him to take hostages in a bid to force police to allow them to escape.
Strong links between the Kouachi brothers and Coulibaly continue to emerge - including the phone calls between one of the Kouachi's wife and Coulibaly's wife Hayat Boumeddiene, revealed by Mr Molins on Friday.

Police were today interrogating the wives of the Kouachi brothers in a bid to track down Hayat Boumeddiene - who is now France's most wanted woman.
Boumeddiene, described as armed and dangerous, has been on the run since the slaying of rookie policewoman, Clarissa Jean-Phillipe, by Coulibaly.
Hundreds of phone calls between Boumeddiene and Izzana Hamyd, wife of Cherif Kouachi, have shown up on mobile records. Five hundred in all were made last year.
Also being held is the wife or girlfriend of the older Kouachi brother, Said.
French Algerian Boumeddiene is now not thought to have been with Coulibaly at any time in the Kosher Supermarket and to have fled immediately after the killing.

Cherif and Coulibaly were both part of the Buttes Chaumont gang - a group of extremists who came together in the early 2000s - and were both implicated in a plot to free jailed Islamist Smaïn Aït Ali Belkacem in 2010.
As the two sieges by suspected Islamic terrorists yesterday played out at the same time, fears grew that the jihadis were looking to cause another bloodbath.
Clarissa Jean-Philippe, 27, was unarmed and directing traffic in Montrouge, in south Paris, when she was gunned down by Coulibay on Thursday.

A 20-YEAR-OLD STUDENT HOSTAGE: 'SHE WAS SHOPPING AT THE TIME' A 20-year-old student was among the hostages taken at the kosher shop in Paris.
The young woman, whose name remains unknown, called her uncle who works nearby from the basement of the building where she was being held.
Jean-Marc Sellam, the business partner of her uncle Patrick Tuile told MailOnline that she had called her uncle 'panicked'.
He said: 'The niece of my associate was taken hostage. I think there were five people taken.
'His niece is about 20 years old. She was shopping at the time. She was allowed to speak to her uncle on the phone. She said she was scared and panicked. Police have now let her uncle go to the scene.'
Mr Sellam added: 'I am shocked. I have been for 48 hours. As long as they keep letting these barbaric people come back from Syria it will keep happening.'
The woman taken hostage was Jewish.

Two of Coulibaly's relatives were arrested in nearby Grigny during a police raid this morning.
Like the Kouachi brothers, he is known to have been radicalised by an Islamic preacher in Paris, before expressing a wish to fight in Iraq or Syria. Both Said Kouachi, 34, and his brother, Cherif Kouachi, 33, were first arrested in 2005.
They were suspected members of the Buttes Chaumont – a group operating out of the 19th arrondissement of Paris and sending terrorist fighters to Iraq.

Cherif was convicted in 2008 to three years in prison, with 18 months suspended, for his association with the underground organisation.
He had wanted to fly to Iraq via Syria, and was found with a manual for a Kalashnikov – the automatic weapon used in Wednesday’s attack.

WHO ARE GIGN? THE ELITE FRENCH UNIT BROUGHT IN TO END THE TWO HOSTAGE DRAMAS

An elite French unit was brought in to bring an end to the two dramatic sieges yesterday.
The GIGN – Groupe d’Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale – is specially trained in counter-terrorism operations.
It was formed specifically to deal with highly-organised and heavily armed groups – and to respond to hostage situations.
The unit was formed in 1973 – a year after the Munich massacre during the Olympic Games. A study was launched in France into possible solutions to sudden and violent attacks.
Initially it consisted of just 15 members – but it gradually increased to 87 by 2000.





The GIGN – Groupe d’Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale – is specially trained in counter-terrorism operations


In 2007, it underwent a major reshuffle to form a new 380-member unit with the aim of being able to launch large-scale interventions and respond to mass hostage-taking situations.
Since it was formed, the group has launched more than a thousand operations and freed more than 500 hostages.
Among its best known interventions was the 1994 liberation of 229 passengers and crew from an Air France flight which had been hijacked by four terrorists.
As part of a vigorous training scheme, members are taught shooting, long-range marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat.
As well as weapons handling, they are put through their paces in airborne skills such as paragliding as well as swimming, diving and launching assaults on ships.
But their skills must also include undercover surveillance, bomb disposal and diplomacy techniques for siege situations.
They are taught to survive in some of the toughest conditions on the planet, including desert environments and in sub-zero terrain.

Said was freed after questioning by police, but – like his brother – was known to have been radicalised after the Iraq War of 2003, when Anglo-American forces deposed Saddam Hussein.
Both brothers were said to be infuriated by the killing of Muslims by western soldiers and war planes.

Vincent Olliviers, Cherif’s lawyer at the time, described him as initially being an ‘apprentice loser - a delivery boy in a cap who smoked hashish and delivered pizzas to buy his drugs.
But Mr Ollivier said the ‘clueless kid who did not know what to do with his life met people who gave him the feeling of being important.’

After his short prison sentence, Cherif was in 2010 linked with a plot to free Smain Ait Ali Belkacem, the mastermind of the1995 bombing of the St Michel metro station in Paris that killed eight people and wounded more than 100 more.
Belkacem was a leading members of the GIA, or Armed Islamic Army – an Algerian terror outfit responsible for numerous atrocities.
The Kouachi brothers, who are orphans, were radicalised by an Iman operating in northern Paris.

SUSPECTED HOSTAGE TAKER A 'CLOSE ASSOCIATE' OF THE KOUACHI BROTHERS

The hostage taker of the Paris terror attack is a close associate of the Kouachi brothers, who killed 12 people in the Charlie Hebdo massacre two days ago and died earlier yesterday in a shootout with police.
Sources in the Paris police said the suspected murderer Amedy Coulibay, 32, was wearing body armour and brandishing two Kalashnikov automatic weapons.
It's thought that he was of Senegalese origin and attended the Addawa Mosque in Paris with the Kouachi brothers.
As part of a jihadist cell with Said and Cherif Kouachi, he was involved in the failed prison break attempt of Smain Ait Ali Belkacem - the mastermind behind a wave of bombings in France in 1995 which killed eight people and wounded 120.
Coulibay, who was himself jailed in 2010 for his involvement in the plot, had a long history of both petty and serious crimes.
The only boy born in a family of 10 in Juvisy, Essonne, he first came to police attention as a 17-year-old delinquent.
Convictions for theft and drug offences followed. In September 2002 in Orleans, Loiret, he was arrested for the armed robbery of a bank.
It's believed he became involved with the younger of the Kouachi brothers, Cherif, when he was part of a jihadist recruitment ring in Paris that sent fighters to join the conflict in Iraq.
Kouachi was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison.
Coulibaly is thought to have become radicalised when he came under the influence of Djamel Beghal, a French Algerian convicted of terrorism.
Beghal was once accused of being Osama Bin Laden’s main European recruiter and has been linked with Cherif Kouachi.
Coulibaly admitted to police he saw Beghal every three weeks but purely for ‘religious instruction.’ It is understood that he married Hayat Boumeddiene in a religious ceremony after she waited four years for him to come out of jail following his conviction for armed robbery.
The couple were never married in a civil ceremony – the only marriage legally accepted in France.
They were raised in foster care in Rennes, in western France, with Cherif training as a fitness instructor before moving to Paris.
They lived in the 19th arrondissement and were radicalised by Farid Benyettou, a janitor-turned-preacher who gave sermons calling for jihad in Iraq and suicide bombings.
His Buttes-Chaumont recruitment group, named after a Paris park, sent at least a dozen young men to fight in Iraq.

The Kouachis share similar backgrounds to Mohammed Merah, the 23-year-old French Algerian responsible for murdering seven people, including four Jews and three Muslim soldiers, in the Toulouse area in 2012.
Merah, who was himself shot dead by police, had also been left to operate as a terrorist in France, despite the authorities knowing he had trained with Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

Last year Mehdi Nemmouche, a 29-year-old French Algerian, was arrested in Marseille in connection with an attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels which left four people dead. He denies any crimes, and is currently on remand in Belgium.

Update re: VIDEOs/PhOtOs-Paris>Woman Terrorist Got into Syria via Turkey on 8 Jan

BREAKING NEWS: France's Most Wanted Woman is in SYRIA
-After 'Crossing the Border to Spain and Flying from Madrid to Istanbul'


  • Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, is the 'wife' of gunman Amedy Coulibaly
  • He killed a policewoman and then four hostages in a kosher bakery
  • Police source said Boumeddiene flew to Turkey via Madrid on January 2
  • She was believed to have crossed the Turkey- Syria border on Thursday
  • Police are interrogating wives of Kouachi brothers in a bid to trace her
  • Coulibaly was killed as commandos stormed the kosher bakery
The wife of the Paris supermarket gunman may be in Syria, police sources have said.


Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, is partner of Amedy Coulibaly, who killed a policewoman and then four hostages at a kosher bakery.
A police source said she flew to Turkey via Madrid on January 2, despite alleged sightings of her in Paris on Thursday.

Authorities in Istanbul then reported seeing a woman matching her description cross the Turkey- Syria border on Thursday, the day her husband killed policewoman Clarissa Jean-Phillipe.

Sources say she had a return ticket from Istanbul to Madrid for yesterday but failed to show for the flight.

Police were today interrogating the wives of the Kouachi brothers responsible for the Charlie Hebdo massacre in a bid to track down Boumeddiene.

Hundreds of phone calls between Boumeddiene and Izzana Hamyd, wife of Cherif Kouachi, have shown up on mobile records. Five hundred in all were made last year.





'Armed and dangerous': It is becoming clear that the one-time cashier was radicalised after meeting the man she would marry



The wife or girlfriend of the older Kouachi brother, Said, is also being held.
French Algerian Boumeddiene is now not thought to have been with Coulibaly at any time in the Kosher Supermarket and to have fled immediately after the killing.

Photographs of the 'wife' of the Kosher supermarket hostage killer reveal how she was radicalised by the man she would go on to marry.
Her husband Amedy Coulibaly is dead, one of the three terrorists who brought France to a halt in 48 hours of bloodshed.

Now, 26-year-old Boumeddiene is on the run and is believed to be 'armed and dangerous'.

Coulibaly died in a hail of bullets along with four hostages in the storming of the Jewish supermarket.
The couple 'married' in a religious ceremony after Boumedienne, who was never seen without her veil, waited four years for him to come out of jail following his conviction for armed robbery.

The couple were never married in a civil ceremony – the only form of marriage legally accepted in France.

'Cool, composed and armed': Boumeddiene never wavered under police cross examination. When told they knew she and Coulibaly had visited Beghal at the same time as Cherif Kouachi and two other convicted terrorists, she replied: 'We went there for crossbow practice'

While Coulibaly had a well documented track record, details of Boumeddiene's troubled childhood are only now emerging.

Like her husband she was born into a large family, seven children, in 1988 but when she was just six years old, her mother died.
The eldest children left home, according to reports in Le Parisien, and social workers took over. It is suggested that Boumeddiene may have been put into care.
Estranged from her father, she met him briefly once more and introduced him to Coulibaly.

But all may not have been as settled as the young woman, radicalised by her husband, thought.
It is understood he had made it clear he wanted to take a second wife, according to other reports.

Today, questioned by police at his home in Nanterre, a Paris suburb, Boumeddiene’s father is said to be shocked and unable to believe that his daughter was involved with the terrorist cell.

But it is becoming clear that the one-time cashier was radicalised after meeting the man she would marry.
She is from an Algerian background and altered her surname to ‘make it sound more French', according to an investigating source.

She told police who interviewed her as part of their inquiries into Coulibaly’s murky dealings with Islamic extremists that she had walked away from a low-paid job as a cashier in the Juvisy suburb of Paris in 2009 and taken the veil. She ‘devoted herself’ to Coulibaly.

Interrogated by police in 2010, Boumeddiene said she was inspired by her husband and the radicals she lived with to ‘read a lot of books on religion and because of this, I came to ask questions on religion’.

‘When I saw the massacre of the innocents in Palestine, in Iraq, in Chetchna, in Afghanistan or anywhere the Americans sent their bombers, all that… well, who are the terrorists?'

She added that when Americans killed innocents, it was the right of men to defend their women and children.

Always cool and composed, Boumeddiene never wavered under police cross examination.

When told that they knew she and Coulibaly had visited Beghal at the same time as Cherif Kouachi and two other convicted terrorists, jihadi recruiter Ahmed Laidouni, and Farid Melouk of GIA, she replied: 'We went there for crossbow practice.’

The couple lived in nearby Bagneux, where they were known as a devoutly religious couple, despite Coulibaly’s regular run-ins with the law.
To neighbours the pair were quiet, respectful and normal and had even gone on a holiday to Malaysia together.
But a month ago they simply disappeared from their suburban house until flashed across the world’s screens today.

Coulibaly murdered at least four hostages at the Kosher supermarket in Paris, according to Reuters news agency.
He is believed to be part of an Al Qaeda terror cell linked to a British-based jihadi extremist, Djamel Beghal.


The 50-year-old preacher, who recruited terrorists while worshipping at London's Finsbury Park mosque, met Cherif Kouachi while in prison in Paris.






Wanted: Police issued this picture describing the couple as suspects in the shooting dead of a female police officer at Montrouge

Update re: VIDEOs/PhOtOs-Paris>Woman Terrorist Got into Syria via Turkey on 8 Jan

Turkey Confirms Woman Terrorist -Wanted Over Paris Attack- Crossed into Syria Through Turkey on 8 January


The suspected female accomplice of Islamist militants behind attacks in Paris was in Turkey five days before the killings , and crossed into Syria on Jan. 8, Turkish officials said on Monday.

France launched a search for 26-year-old Hayat Boumeddiene after police killed her partner Amedy Coulibaly while storming a Jewish supermarket where he had taken hostages.

Authorities described her as armed and dangerous.

Turkey had received no request from Paris to deny her access.



By AFP, 12 January 2015


Turkey on Monday confirmed that Hayat Boumeddiene, the wanted partner of one of the gunmen behind the terror attacks in France, travelled through Turkey last week on her way to Syria.

"She entered Turkey on January 2 from Madrid. There are images of her at the airport," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was quoted as saying by state-run news agency Anatolia.

Cavusoglu said the 26-year-old, who married gunman Amedy Coulibaly in an Islamic ceremony, stayed at a hotel in Kadikoy on the Asian side of Istanbul and was accompanied by another person.





Photo released on January 9, 2015 by the French police shows Hayat Boumeddiene, the partner of the Islamist gunmen Amedy Coulibaly who attacked a Jewish supermarket in Paris


She then crossed into Syria on January 8, according to her phone records, Cavusoglu said, without making clear if she travelled to Syria on her own.

A Turkish security source on Saturday had also told AFP that Boumeddiene had entered Turkey on January 2 and was believed to have moved on to the southeastern Turkish city of Sanliurfa and then to Syria.

But Turkey did not arrest her because of a lack of timely intelligence from France, the source said.


Cavusoglu's comments confirm that Boumeddiene was already outside France when the killing spree began, contrary to earlier speculation that she had been involved in the Paris killings in which 17 people died.
Boumeddiene is suspected of having had a role in her partner attacks which culminated in a bloody hostage-taking in a kosher supermarket on Friday after he had shot dead a policewoman close to a synagogue the day before.

But despite earlier describing her as "armed and dangerous", French police sources said she was likely already in Turkey at the time of the attacks.
Western countries have long accused Turkey of not doing enough to stem the flow of jihadists seeking to join Islamic State (IS) group fighters in neighbouring Syria.


But Ankara insists it has now stepped up frontier security and has repeatedly said the West also has a responsibility to share intelligence.

Update re: VIDEOs>ISIS Prep for Attack in Israel>Practise Decapitating Animals

ISIS Cell Members Caught Beheading Animals as They Practised How to Decapitate People for an Attack in Israel

  • ISIS cell caught in Israel used animals to practice how to behead people
  • They were planning an imminent attack on Druze Israelis and the police
  • The seven men arrested are the first cell discovered operating in Israel
  • Men were planning to set up terror network in Israel before fleeing to Syria
Daily Mail UK, 19 January 2015


ISIS cell members who used animals to practice how to behead people ahead of an imminent attack are the first to be discovered operating in Israel.


The seven men were caught just before executing an attack and had brutally slaughtered live animals, Israel's Shin Bet intelligence agency said.
All seven admitted to belonging to ISIS and were part of a plot to attack Druze Israelis - a branch of Shia Islam - as well as police officers and the security service.

The defendants, who are the first ISIS members found in Israel, were arrested in Haifa and charged with joining and aiding the terrorist group, as well as attempting to contact terrorists abroad.
It is believed that the men, all from the northern city of Sakhnin, were trying to set up a branch of the terrorist network in Israel.

The men were named as Adnan Aladin, 40, a lawyer in Nazareth, Hasam Marisat, 30, Karim Abu-Tzalah, 22, Alaa Abu-Tzalah, 27, Halad Abu Tzahalh, 30, Sarif Khaled Abu-Tzalah, 29, and Muhammad Abu Tazalah, 27.

The security service added that the men were planning to flee to Syria to fight for ISIS after carrying out their attack.

The extremist group currently controls about a third of Iraq and Syria, where it has beheaded scores of captives.
Victims include western journalists and aid workers such as Britons David Haines and Alan Henning and Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
Thousands of Muslims from Western countries are believed to have flocked to Syria to join ISIS, including an estimated 30 Israelis.

'WAVE OF ISLAMISATION' IS SWEEPING EUROPE, SAYS NETANYAHU




Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans to increase trade with the Far East following a 'wave of Islamisation' in western Europe.


The Israeli Prime Minister said rising hostility in Europe had forced his hand into expanding trade with countries like Japan, China and India.

'We definitely want to reduce our dependence on certain markets in western Europe,' Mr Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting yesterday.
'Western Europe is undergoing a wave of Islamisation, of anti-Semitism, and of anti-Zionism. It is awash in such waves, and we want to ensure that for years to come the state of Israel will have diverse markets all over the world.'

His remarks came as Shinzo Abe, Japan's prime minister, arrived in Israel with a trade delegation.
According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, Europe accounted for 45.8 percent of imports and 35.8 percent of exports in the first 11 months of 2014. Asia accounted for 22.5 percent of Israeli imports and 25.4 percent of exports.

Viewers of Israel's parliamentary TV channel were asked: 'Can Israel do without exports to Europe and pursue policy that is liable to bring about an economic embargo?'
62 two percent of Israelis said no and 32 percent said yes.

Update re: VIDEOs-ISIS Threatens Japan>Pay $200mil or We Kill Hostages

ISIS Executioner 'Jihadi John' Threatens to Kill Japanese Hostages Unless They Receive $200m in 72-hour Ultimatum After Their Prime Minister Pledged the Same Amount to Countries Fighting ISIS
  • New video featuring 'Jihadi John' threatens to kill two Japanese hostages
  • Demands $200m in 72 hours to save Kenji Goto Jogo and Haruma Yukawa
  • Yukawa 'seized in Syria in August after going there to train with militants'
  • Video shows him firing an AK-47 with caption: 'Syria war in Aleppo 2014'
  • Goto is freelance journalist who went to report on Syria's civil war last year
  • Japanese PM Shinzo Abe pledged $200m to fight ISIS two days ago
Daily Mail UK, 20 January 2015



The Islamic State has released a video threatening to kill two Japanese hostages unless they receive $200 million within 72 hours.

It comes two days after Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged $200million in non-military support for countries fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

The video, identified as being made by the group's al-Furqan media arm and posted on militant websites associated with the extremist group, mirrored other hostage threats it has made.
The clip, posted on militant websites associated with the extremist group, featured the British-accented militant widely known as 'Jihadi John' who appeared in the beheading videos of four Western hostages last year.
It shows the two Japanese captives in orange jumpsuits that the militants identify as journalist Kenji Goto Jogo and military company operator Haruna Yukawa.

Scroll down for video





Ransom: A video purportedly from ISIS shows Japanese hostages Kenji Goto Jogo and Haruna Yukawa in orange jumpsuits with a British-accented jihadi demanding $200 million in exchange for their lives









Kenji Goto Jogo (top) is a Japanese journalist who went to report on Syria's civil war last year, while Haruna Yukawa, a private military company operator, is thought to have been captured in Syria in August







The militant directly addresses Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, now on a six-day visit to the Middle East with more than 100 government officials and presidents of Japanese companies.

Brandishing a knife and dressed all in black, the says:


Quote:
'To the prime minister of Japan: Although you are more than 8,000 and 500 kilometres (5,280 miles) from the Islamic State, you willingly have volunteered to take part in this crusade.

'You have proudly donated $100 million to kill our women and children - to destroy the homes of the Muslims.
'So the life of this (points knife at Kenji Goto Jogo) Japanese citizen will cost you $100million.

'And in an attempt to stop the expansion of the Islamic State, you also donated another $100million to train the mujahideen against the mujahideen.

'And so the life of this (points knife at Haruna Yukawa) Japanese citizen will cost you another $100million.

'And to the Japanese public: Just as your government has made the foolish decision to pay $200million to fight the Islamic State, you now have 72 hours to pressure your government into making a wise decision by paying the $200million to save the lives of your citizens.
'Otherwise, this knife will become your nightmare.'



Haruma Yukawa, a private military company operator in his early 40s, was kidnapped in Syria, but his reasons for going to the country remain unclear





On the frontline: One video on Haruna Yukawa's Facebook page shows him test-firing a Kalashnikov assault rifle with the caption: 'Syria war in Aleppo 2014'






Yukawa switches the AK-47 from single-shot to automatic. In his last blog post, Yukawa says: 'I cannot identify the destination. But the next one could be the most dangerous'






Footage posted on YouTube in August purportedly shows Yukawa blooded and bruised after being captured by ISIS sympathisers in Syria


Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe demanded that the two men be released unharmed.

'I am extremely indignant at such an act,' he told a news conference during a visit to Jerusalem.
He insisted the aid would be disbursed as promised.

'This posture will not change at all,' he said, stressing that the money was to help the displaced and those made homeless by the conflict in Iraq and Syria.
Asked whether Japan would pay ransom to secure their release, he replied: 'With regard to this case, we attach the utmost priority to saving lives and gathering information with the help of other countries.
'We'll make utmost efforts to save the lives (of the captives) from now on.'

Japan's Foreign Ministry's anti-terrorism section has seen the video and analysts are assessing it, a ministry official said.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of department rules.
Speaking in Tokyo, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga declined to say whether Japan would pay the ransom.

'If true, the act of threat in exchange of people's lives is unforgivable and we feel strong indignation,' Suga told journalists. 'We will make our utmost effort to win their release as soon as possible.'





In the line of fire: Footage on Kenji Goto Jogo's last Twitter post in October shows him talking in front of the Syrian city of Kobani (above), which has been under siege from ISIS fighters for months


In August, a Japanese citizen believed to be Yukawa, a private military company operator in his early 40s, was kidnapped in Syria after going there to train with militants, according to a post on a blog he kept.
Pictures on his Facebook page show him in Iraq and Syria in July.
One video on his page showed him test-firing a Kalashnikov assault rifle with the caption: 'Syria war in Aleppo 2014.'

'I cannot identify the destination,' Yukawa wrote in his last blog post. 'But the next one could be the most dangerous.'

He added: 'I hope to film my fighting scenes during an upcoming visit.'

Yukawa, 43, travelled to Iraq and Syria last year after telling friends and family that he thought it represented a last chance to turn his life around.
Over the previous decade, he had lost a business to bankruptcy, lost his wife to cancer and became homeless, according to his father and an online journal.
He even considered cutting off his genitals because of his perceived failures, deciding that he would instead 'live as a woman and leave the rest to destiny'.

It was these life-changing events that drove him to conflict zones, where he dreamed of providing security to Japanese companies in Syria and Somalia.
He was initially captured by the Free Syrian Army in Aleppo before befriending them.





Revenge: The militant said the Japanese were targeted for supporting Western military efforts against the Islamic State group, which now holds a third of Iraq and Syria under its self-declared caliphate






Speaking at a news conference during a visit to Jerusalem, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe demanded that the two men be released unharmed, adding: 'I am extremely indignant at such an act'


Footage released in August last year purportedly shows Yukawa bloodied and bruised after being captured by ISIS sympathisers while travelling with the Free Syria Army in northern Aleppo.
He was treated as a spy because he was carrying a gun

In the video, he is asked: 'You thief? Why you have gun? You kill soldier?' To which, he replies: 'I am no soldier'.

After his capture, it was discovered that he owned a firm simply called Private Military Company.
The website makes it appear it had offices around the world and boasts that it specialises in 'international private military work, international bodyguard, armed shipping escort, logistical support and conflict zone escorts'.
However, it transpired that he was the only employee - and the firm didn't even have an office.

Yukawa's father, Shoichi Yukawa, declined to comment, saying he was overwhelmed by the news reports.

Goto is a freelance reporter who was based in Tokyo. He met Yukawa last year and helped him travel to Iraq in June.
He has written books on AIDS and children in war zones from Afghanistan to Africa and reported for news broadcasters in Japan.

'I'm in Syria for reporting,' he wrote in an email to an Associated Press journalist in October.
'I hope I can convey the atmosphere from where I am and share it.'





Threats: The same British-accented jihadi that appeared in James Foley's beheading made the threat to Abe


Footage on his last Twitter post in October shows him talking in front of the Syrian city of Kobani, which has been under siege from ISIS fighters for several months.

The Islamic State group has beheaded and shot dead hundreds of captives - mainly Syrian and Iraqi soldiers - during its sweep across the two countries and has celebrated its mass killings in extremely graphic videos.
A British-accented jihadi also has appeared in the beheading videos of slain American hostages James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and with British hostages David Haines and Alan Henning.

The group also holds British photojournalist John Cantlie, who has appeared in other extremist propaganda videos, and a 26-year-old American woman captured last year in Syria while working for aid groups.
U.S. officials have asked that the woman not be identified out of fears for her safety.

The British Foreign Office said it was also investigating the video.
A spokeswoman said: 'We are aware of the video and we are studying the content.'

Tuesday's video marks the first time the Islamic State group specifically has demanded cash for hostages.

Though the militant in the video links it to the Japanese funding efforts to counter the Islamic State group, it comes amid recent losses for the extremists targeted in airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition.

Its militants also recently released some 200 mostly elderly Yazidi hostages in Iraq, fueling speculation by Iraqi officials that the group couldn't support them.

This is Abe's second Mideast hostage crisis since becoming prime minister.

Two years ago, Al Qaeda-affiliated militants attacked an Algerian natural gas plant and the ensuing four-day hostage crisis killed 29 insurgents and 37 foreigners, including 10 Japanese who were working for a Yokohama-based engineering company, JCG Corp. Seven Japanese survived.

Update re: VIDEOs- ISIS Burnt Hostage Alive-Jordan & Japan's Revenge Attacks

BBC, 22 January 2015

Islamic State Conflict: London, UK, Hosts Coalition Talks



Foreign ministers from 21 countries are meeting in London to discuss ways to co-ordinate their efforts to combat the jihadist group Islamic State (IS).
IS controls large swathes of Syria and Iraq and the US-led coalition has been carrying out air strikes since August.



But UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond insisted much more needed to be done.
He told the BBC that the countries wanted to find ways to halt the flow of recruits to IS, cut off its funding and "tackle the underlying narrative".
They will also look at providing more military assistance to those fighting IS on the ground, and more humanitarian aid to its victims.

BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins says the recent attacks by Islamist militants in France have put even greater political pressure on governments to show decisive results.

'Greater Resolve'


At the start of Thursday's conference at Lancaster House, which he is co-hosting with Mr Hammond, US Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters: "We still have a lot of work to do."
"The purpose of coming here is to bring everybody's best advice, everybody's thoughts about where there may be weaknesses, everybody's thoughts about things we can do better, put that together and lay down the strategy for the days ahead."




Coalition air strikes have targeted IS positions in Syria and in Iraq



Quote:
"They are the most brutal and most dangerous enemy I have ever seen in my life”





But fighters on the ground, including members of the Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga, say they need more support


A senior US state department official said foreign fighters would be the "real focus" of the London conference, and that an expert working group would be formed to discuss sharing information to stop them travelling.
The European police agency, Europol, estimates that up to 5,000 EU citizens have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight. Thousands of others have travelled from Arab and Muslim states.






Looking back at the past five months, Mr Hammond said the coalition's strategy had arrested the momentum of Islamic State, whose advance across Iraq began in June when it routed several army divisions and captured the northern city of Mosul.

"The engagement of the coalition and the beginning of air strikes against [IS] positions halted that advance and in some cases it has begun to turn it back," he told the BBC.

The state department official said IS had "gone from a force that was very much capable militarily to conduct fairly large-scale offensive operations to a force that is now digging in for defensive operations".







IS still controls many cities and major towns in northern and western Iraq. However, Iranian-backed Shia militia have begun advancing northwards from Baghdad, and Kurdish Peshmerga forces in the north-east have retaken the Mosul dam and the town of Sinjar.

In Syria, air strikes have failed to dislodge IS from its stronghold of Raqqa or stop the group from expanding its control in neighbouring areas. However, it has been unable to capture the town of Kobane after facing fierce resistance from Kurdish fighters backed by coalition aircraft.

Mr Hammond warned that there was "a big job ahead" in Iraq. "We are building the Iraqi security forces from a state of disarray and poor training and poor leadership... for what will need to be a sustained offensive against [IS] forces on the ground."
"It will be months yet before they are ready to start significant combat operations."





Speaking in Iraq before flying to London, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said the international community needed to do more to train and equip ground forces.

In Syria, the US and its Western allies are relying on "moderate" rebels to take the fight to IS, and are reluctant to co-operate with President Bashar al-Assad, who they want out of power.

The countries taking part in the conference along with the UK and US are Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Iraq, Italy,Jordan, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

What is Islamic State (IS) ?

Formed out of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) in 2013, IS first captured Raqqa in eastern Syria

It captured broad swathes of Iraq in June, including Mosul, and declared a "caliphate" in areas it controls in Syria and Iraq

Pursuing an extreme form of Sunni Islam, IS has persecuted non-Muslims such as Yazidis and Christians, as well as Shia Muslims, whom it regards as heretics

Known for its brutal tactics, including beheadings of soldiers, Western journalists and aid workers

The CIA says the group could have as many as 31,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria

Coalition Needs 2 Years to Expel Islamic State From Iraq, says UK


LONDON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - The Anti-IS Coalition could take up to two years to expel Islamic State from Iraq, and Baghdad's own forces will be incapable of proper combat operations for months, Britain's foreign minister warned on Thursday.


Speaking before he hosted a meeting of 21 coalition members in London, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the task of pushing the Islamist militants back would be slow.

"This isn't going to be done in three months or six months. It's going to take a year, two years to push ISIL (IS) back out of Iraq but we are doing the things that need to be done in order to turn the tide," Hammond told Sky News.

Thursday's meeting, attended by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, will examine ways of intensifying the campaign against IS in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere by doing more militarily, more to cut off the group's finances and more to stem the flow of foreign fighters. Kerry said before the meeting it was a vital opportunity to adjust the coalition's strategy.

"The purpose of coming here is to bring everybody's best advice, everybody's thoughts about where there may be weaknesses, everybody's thoughts about things we can do better, put that together, improve our own performance and operations, and lay down the strategy for the days ahead," he said.

Iraq's Abadi, who will tell delegates how his government's fight against IS is progressing, met British Prime Minister David Cameron beforehand and asked for more military training and ammunition.
KURDS CLAIM VICTORIES

Britain has taken part in air strikes against IS forces, trained Iraqi troops, and provided some equipment already.
Cameron told Abadi that Britain was ready to help, but stopped short of making any new commitments.

"The threat from extremist terror you face in Iraq is also a threat we face here in the United Kingdom," he said. "We will do everything we can to help stop foreign fighters coming to your country and creating the mayhem we see today."

The meeting is taking place a day after Kurdish forces in northern Iraq said they had cleared IS insurgents from nearly 500 sq km of territory and broken a key IS supply line between the city of Mosul and strongholds to the west.
Hammond said Thursday's meeting would take stock of coalition progress in the last five months and hear an update from U.S. General John Allen.
He praised Iraqi forces, saying the coalition was helping rebuild them so they could launch a sustained ground offensive against IS. But he warned it was a long process.

"It will be months yet before they are ready to start significant combat operations," Hammond told BBC Radio.

Update re: VIDEOs- ISIS Burnt Hostage Alive-Jordan & Japan's Revenge Attacks

Japan Attempts to Verify Video Claiming ISIS Have Beheaded one Japanese Prisoner and Demanding Release of Female Suicide Bomber in Exchange for Life of the Second

  • Audio recording purporting to be from Kenji Goto, 47, has surfaced online
  • In it voice claims fellow captive Haruna Yukawa has already been executed
  • Says ISIS are demanding release of attempted bomber Sajida al-Rishawi
  • Rishawi is currently in prison in Jordan facing the death penalty
  • Japanese government condemns video but cannot confirm if it is genuine

Daily Mail UK, 24 January 2015





The Japanese government has branded a new audio recording purporting to be from one of the hostages pictured with Jihadi John 'outrageous and disgusting', but cannot confirm if it is genuine.
In the recording, a voice claiming to be that of Kenji Goto,(center), 47, one of the Japanese men who appeared in the latest Jihadi John video, says his fellow captive Haruna Yukawa (left) has been killed.

He blames the death on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and says he will be killed as well if ISIS's new demand to release a failed female suicide bomber Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, (right) is not met.


Quote:
WHO IS SAJIDA AL-RISHAWI?

Sajida al-rishawi gained notoriety in 2005 after confessing on Jordanian television that she tried to blow herself up alongside her husband in an Al Qaeda attack in Amman, Jordan.
The failed suicide bomber's chilling confession came after she was arrested when her bomb belt failed to detonate at the Radisson Hotel, a building commonly frequented by diplomats.
Appearing in a headscarf and a long black coat, she said:
'We went into the hotel. He (my husband) took a corner and I took another.
'My husband executed the attack. I tried to detonate and it failed. People started running and I ran with them.'

Rishawi's husband and two other suicide bombers belonging to Al Qaeda in Iraq killed themselves and 60 other people in the three simultaneous attacks at the Hyatt, Radisson and Days Inn hotels.
Following her capture and confession, she was sentenced to death.
Despite later retracting the confession and appealing her sentence, she remains imprisoned in Jordan.



The Japanese government has condemned the message, but say they cannot verify its authenticity after allegations that the Jihadi John video was also stitched together from several recordings.


Japanese chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said cabinet ministers were holding an emergency meeting about the new message.
In a televised statement he added:

'We strongly demand the prompt release of the remaining captive Mr. Kenji Goto, without harm.'
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe added 'I have a strong sense of anger,' before reiterating that Japan 'will not give in to terrorism.'

The post comes four days after ISIS released a video demanding the Japanese government pay $200million within 72 hours for the hostages' release.
The new recording claims the terrorists no longer want the money.
The audio recording is accompanied by a still image showing Mr Goto apparently holding a picture of Mr Yukawa's beheaded body.


However, the arms holding the paper appear to have been doctored on to the body, leading to speculation that the whole recording is an elaborate hoax.


Patrick Ventrell, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said U.S. intelligence officials were working also to confirm whether it was authentic. 'We stand in solidarity with Japan and are coordinating closely,' he said, and called for the immediate release of people held by the Islamic State group.

Kyodo News agency reported that the video has been emailed to the wife of one of the hostages.
If the video does turn out to be genuine, then it would be a radical departure from the Islamic State's usual method of operations.

ISIS typically uses high-definition video recordings to make its threats, usually recorded somewhere in the desert, though to be located in the area around Raqqa in Syria.
The latest clip is accompanied by Arabic subtitles, as is standard for ISIS videos, but is missing the black and white jihadi flag that appears on all other ISIS propaganda.
In most recordings it is only usually Jihadi John, the masked executioner, who speaks. The hostages typically only recite a short, scripted message before they are killed.

However in this case, the man claiming to be Mr Goto narrates a two-minute message in which he issues a heartfelt plea to his wife.
Twitter users have also suggested that Mr Goto sounds different in this video compared to previous footage before he was kidnapped.
In the latest recording he says in English:

'You have seen the photo of my cellmate, slaughtered in the land of the Islamic Caliphate.
'You were warned, you were given a deadline and so my captives acted upon their words. (Prime Miniseter) Abe you killed Haruna, you did not take the threat of my captors seriously and you did not act within the 72 hours.'

He then speaks directly to his wife, who he names as Rinco, asking her to listen to the captors new demands.
He continues:

'Their demand is easy. They are being fair. They no longer want money so you do not need to worry about funding terrorists.
'They are just demanding the release of their imprisoned sister Sajida al-Rishawi. It is simple, you give them Sajida, and I will be released.
'At the moment it actually looks possible and our government are indeed a stone's throw away.
'Our government representatives are ironically in Jordan where their sister Sajida is held by the Jordanian regime.'

The video, which lasts nearly three minutes, was quickly deleted on Saturday after it was posted.

Jihadis on a website affiliated with the regime also disagreed about the message's authenticity.
One militant on the website warned that the new message was fake, while another said that the message was intended only to go to the Japanese journalist's family.
A third militant noted that the video was not issued by al-Furqan, one of the media arms of the Islamic State and the message did not bear al-Furqan's logo.




In the audio clip the man claiming to be Mr Goto says ISIS are demanding the release of Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, an attempted suicide bomber who is currently being held by the regime




Mr Goto, pictured, is a war correspondent with experience in Middle East hot spots. He went to Syria in late October to try to help Mr Yukawa, who was described as a friend, after he was captured in Aleppo in August


Suspicion is running high over the latest tape after the video footage of Mr Goto and Mr Yukawa kneeling in the desert beside Jihadi John was also branded a fake.
Experts said the footage was likely stitched together from several recordings as the shadows cast on the ground and on the captive's faces are all falling in different directions.

Another giveaway is their shirts, which do not blow in the breeze at the same time, but instead move at different points in the video.

Tsuyoshi Moriyama, an associate professor at Tokyo Polytechnic University and image technology expert, said:

'It's possible that video images taken at different times were combined.
'A very high level of knowledge and skill would be necessary to make such a composite video.'

Shiego Mori-shima, a Waseda University Professor on information-communication engineering, agreed, noting the jumpsuits were different shades of orange.

Yukawa, aged around 42 and who dreamed of becoming a military contractor, was captured in August outside the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Goto, 47, a war correspondent with experience in Middle East hot spots, went to Syria in late October to try to help Yukawa.

Just yesterday Junko Ishido, Mr Goto's mother, issued a tearful appeal for her son to be released.
Speaking at a press conference, she said:

'I say to you people of the Islamic State, Kenji is not your enemy. Please release him.
'Kenji was always saying 'I hope to save lives of children on battlefields'. He was reporting war from a neutral position.'

If Mr Yukawa is confirmed killed, he will join growing list of Jihadi John's victims, that includes British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning.
Also killed by the masked murderer were American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and aid worker Peter Kassig.

THREATS, RANSOM DEMANDS, AND A PLEA TO HIS WIFE: NEW AUDIO RECORDING IN FULL... BUT IS IT A FAKE?

You were warned, you were given a deadline and so my captives acted upon their words.
(Prime Minister Shinzo) Abe you killed Haruna, you did not take the threat of my captors seriously and you did not act within the 72 hours.
Rinco, my beloved wife, I love you and I miss my two daughters. Please do not let Abe do the same for my case. Don't give up.
You, along with our family, friends and colleagues in Independent Press must continue to press our government.
Their demand is easy. They are being fair. They no longer want money so you do not need to worry about funding terrorists.
They are just demanding the release of their imprisoned sister Sajida al-Rishawi. It is simple, you give them Sajida, and I will be released.

At the moment it actually looks possible and our government are indeed a stone's throw away. How?
Our government representatives are ironically in Jordan where their sister Sajida is held by the Jordanian regime.
Again I would like to say how easy it is to save my life. You bring them their sister from the Jordanian regime and I will be released immediately. Me for her.
Rinco, these could be my last hours in this world and I may be a dead man speaking. Don't let these be my last words you ever hear.
Don't let Abe also kill me.

Update re: VIDEOs- ISIS Burnt Hostage Alive-Jordan & Japan's Revenge Attacks

Japan Seeks Jordan's Help in Gaining Hostage's Release

By AP, 26 January 2015

TOKYO (AP) — A Japanese diplomat emerged from talks in Jordan on Monday with no signs of progress in securing the release of a freelance journalist held hostage by the extremist Islamic State group.

Japanese officials refused direct comment on the contents of the talks in Jordan, where Japanese Deputy Foreign Minister Yasuhide Nakayama is coordinating regional efforts to save hostage Kenji Goto.
The Islamic State group said in an online video on Jan. 20 that it had two Japanese hostages and would kill them within 72 hours unless Japan paid it $200 million — the same amount Tokyo recently pledged in aid to nations fighting the militants.





Japan's government spokesman Yoshihide Suga speaks at a press conference in Tokyo Monday, Jan. 26, 2015. Suga told reporters that the government was still analyzing a video posted online that purported to show Haruna Yukawa, one of the two hostages held by the extremist Islamic State group, had been killed. (AP Photo/Kyodo News)



Over the weekend, a new, unverified video showed a still photo of Goto, a 47-year-old journalist, holding a picture of what appears to be the body of fellow hostage Haruna Yukawa. It included a recording of a voice claiming to be Goto, saying his captors now want the release of a prisoner held in Jordan instead of a ransom.
Asked if the latest demand makes the situation more complex, chief Japanese government spokesman Yoshihide Suga avoided a straight answer.

But he said, "Naturally, Jordan has its own thoughts."
"The government is doing its utmost as the situation is still developing," he told reporters. "We are seeking cooperation from every possible party toward a release (of the remaining hostage)."

Japanese officials have indicated they are treating the video released over the weekend as authentic and thus accepting the likelihood that Yukawa, a 42-year-old adventurer captured in Syria last summer, was killed.
"It was an extremely dastardly act," Suga said.

In Amman, Jordan, Deputy Foreign Minister Nakayama emerged from meetings with no fresh progress to report.

"Due to the nature of this problem, please understand why I cannot disclose information such as with whom I had meetings," he said.
Nakayama vowed to "absolutely not give up until the end."

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appealed for Goto's unconditional release.
"The Japanese hostage Mr. Goto needs to be released unconditionally," U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. "That's what we call for and we call for the release of all other people who are being held against their will by extremist groups in the region."

The Associated Press could not verify the contents of the weekend video message, which differed from earlier videos released by the Islamic State group, which now holds a third of both Syria and Iraq.

News of the likely killing of Yukawa drew international condemnation, and outrage in Japan. Goto is thought to have been seized in late October after going there to try to rescue him.

Some in Japan are critical of the two men for taking such risks. Some Japanese also are criticizing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for pursuing a more assertive foreign policy, saying it may have contributed to the crisis.

Abe has pushed to expand the role for Japan's troops — one that has remained strictly confined to self-defense under the pacifist constitution adopted after the nation's defeat in World War II.

While on a visit to the Middle East earlier this month, Abe announced $200 million in humanitarian aid to the nations fighting the militants.

Update re: VIDEOs- ISIS Burnt Hostage Alive-Jordan & Japan's Revenge Attacks

Jordan Launches 56 Revenge Airstrikes Against ISIS After Terror Group Released Video Showing Jordanian Pilot Being Burned Alive

  • Air force chief Mansour al-Jabour said attacks were 'just the beginning'
  • Three days of bombing targeted ISIS depots, barracks and training centres
  • Officials had promised to retaliate harshly after Moaz al Kasasbeh's murder
  • Campaign, believed to be targeting Syria, called Operation Martyr Moaz in pilot's memory
Daily Mail UK, 8 Feb 2015



Jordan says it has carried out 56 airstrikes on Islamic State targets in revenge for the murder of Jordanian pilot Moaz al Kasasbeh.
The country's air force chief said the three consecutive days of attacks were 'just the beginning' of campaigns planned in a bid to avenge the 26-year-old's death.

Last week, ISIS released a video purporting to show Kasasbeh being burnt alive in a cage as masked militants in camouflage uniforms looked on.

Major General Mansour al-Jabour (pictured) said: 'We achieved what we were looking for: revenge for Muath'


The act has been widely condemned as among the most sickening ever committed to film and sent waves of revulsion across the Middle East.
Today, Major General Mansour al-Jabour said: 'We achieved what we were looking for: revenge for Muath. And this is not the end. This is the beginning.'

According to Major General, the strikes - dubbed Operation Martyr Moaz in the pilot's memory - targeted ISIS's weapon depots, training centres, warehouses and military barracks.

Jordanian military experts say the kingdom could soon struggle to sustain the intensity of the past few days of air strikes, given the air force only has 40 mid-life F16 jets at its disposal.

A squadron of F16 jet fighters from the United Arab Emirates arrived in Jordan on Sunday a day after the Gulf state announced it was being sent to bolster the coalition's military effort.

Looking for revenge: King Abdullah (pictured today with Prince Charles) had vowed to wage a 'harsh' war against ISIS militants who control parts of neighboring Syria and Iraq


It will conduct joint air strikes with Jordanian colleagues against the Islamic militants, Jordanian officials said on Saturday.

The focus of Jordan's airstrikes are reported to be Raqqa, the ISIS stronghold in Syria.

The intensified air assaults come almost one week after the extremists released the chilling footage, which sparked protests throughout Jordan.
Entitled 'Healing the Believers' Chests', the 22-minute film showed the captured airman wearing an orange jumpsuit and being seemingly doused in fuel, as a trail of petrol leading up to the iron bars of the cage is set alight.

Officials believe Kasasbeh had been killed almost one month earlier, despite ISIS attempting to carry out a prisoner exchange in return for the stricken pilot.

After the footage was released, Jordanian officials promised to retaliate harshly and quickly executed two Iraqi militants connected with ISIS.
This included Sajida al-Rishawi, the female would-be suicide bomber whose freedom ISIS had originally demanded in exchange for releasing Kasasbeh.

King Abdullah II later said Jordan's response would 'be harsh because this terrorist organisation is not only fighting us, but also fighting Islam and its pure values.'
In a statement, he pledged to hit the militants 'hard in the very centre of their strongholds'.

Days later, the country released a slickly-edited video showing its war planes being prepared for bombing strikes against ISIS jihadists in Syria.

The video also featured a pilot holding up a sign that reads: 'And do not think that God is unaware of what the evildoers are doing' - an apparent warning to ISIS militants


The footage, believed to have been broadcast on state TV, was understood to have been recorded at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base and showed troops on plane-mounted missiles before the fleet of fighter jets are launched.
The clip shows uniformed people, believed to be members of the Jordanian military, writing messages in Arabic across plane-mounted missiles. One reads 'for you, the enemy of Islam'.

ISIS seized control of large areas of Iraq and Syria last year, prompting hundreds of raids by coalition war planes.
The United States and several Arab allies, including Jordan, have been striking ISIS in Syria since September 23.

Warplanes from the U.S. and other countries have been waging an air campaign against the extremists in Iraq for even longer.
The campaign aims to push back the jihadi organisation after it took large parts of Iraq and Syria and declared a 'caliphate.'

Al-Jabour said coalition planes have flown 5,500 sorties since the beginning of the air campaign, including 2,000 reconnaissance flights. He did not say whether this included flights over both Syria and Iraq. He said Jordan's air force participated in 946 sorties.
The general said about 7,000 Islamic State group militants have been killed since the beginning of the coalition airstrikes.

Default re: VIDEOs-ISIS Girl Hostage Kayla Has Been Killed>Family Confirms

Family of Isis Hostage Kayla Mueller Confirms Aid Worker Has Been Killed

Family ‘heartbroken’ after receiving confirmation that 26-year-old aid worker held hostage since August 2013 has been killed


The Guardian UK, 11 Feb 2015

The family of Kayla Mueller, the 26-year-old aid worker held hostage by Isis since August 2013, has confirmed in a statement that she has been killed.

“We are heartbroken to share that we’ve received confirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller, has lost her life,” her parents and brother said on Tuesday.
Supporters of Islamic State had claimed on Friday that she was killed in a Jordanian air strike intended to avenge the burning to death of a captured Jordanian pilot. US officials could not determine her cause of death.

The National Security Council spokeswoman, Bernadette Meehan, said that over the weekend, the family received a private message from Mueller’s captors containing “additional information”.
“Once this information was authenticated by the intelligence community, they concluded that Kayla was deceased,” Meehan said.





'Even in prison, one can be free' – Kayla Mueller's letter to her family


Barack Obama sent his “deepest condolences” to the Mueller family, and vowed to bring those responsible for Kayla’s death to justice.

“Kayla represents what is best about America, and expressed her deep pride in the freedoms that we Americans enjoy, and that so many others strive for around the world,” he said in a statement released by the White House. “In how she lived her life, she epitomized all that is good in our world.”

Mueller’s parents, Carl and Marsha Mueller, and her brother Eric, said in their statement:

“Our hearts are breaking for our only daughter, but we will continue on in peace, dignity, and love for her.”

The family also released a note written by Mueller during her 18-month captivity.

“I have been shown in darkness, light + have learned that even in prison, one can be free. I am grateful. I have come to see that there is good in every situation, sometimes we just have to look for it,” it says.

Several hours after the confirmation of Mueller’s death, friends and family paid tribute to the aid worker by sharing memories and personal stories in the Prescott Town Square.

Kathleen Day, the Head of United Christian Ministry at Northern Arizona University where Mueller had been a student, recounted how family and friends were told that while in captivity, she tried to teach her guards crafts, including origami.

“She did ordinary things in extraordinary measure,” Day said.
“Kayla has done more at her age than many people can imagine doing in their lifetime,” said Lori Lyon, one of Kayla’s maternal aunts who read a statement on behalf of Mueller’s extended family. “At a young age, she knew her calling.”
“Kayla touched the heart of the world. The world grieves with us. The world mourns with us,” Lyon said.

In a statement distributed widely by Isis supporters on Friday, the group had claimed that Mueller was killed when “missiles” targeted the building she was being held in in Raqqa, Syria. The statement included pictures of the badly shelled building but no photographic evidence of her death was shown.

Mueller is the fourth American to die in Isis captivity. Journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff were beheaded by the group in August and September 2014. Aid worker Peter Kassig was killed by the group in November 2014.

Mueller was seized by Isis fighters in August 2013, as she left a hospital run by the Spanish branch of Médecins Sans Frontières in Aleppo.
In her letter, which her family said was written in the spring of 2014, Mueller says she had been “treated with the utmost respect + kindness”, adding that she was being kept in a safe location, “completely unharmed + healthy”.

The letter was brought to Mueller’s family at her request by her cell mates, who she says had been released “starting from 11/2/2014”.
In the letter, Mueller asks that her parents not take on the “burden” of negotiating for her release.

“I DO NOT want the negotiations for my release to be your duty, if there is any other option take it, even if it takes more time. This should never have become your burden. I have asked these women to support you; please seek their advice.”

Of her family, she states that the only suffering she has endured throughout her time in captivity, is “knowing how much suffering I have put you all through forgive me as I do not deserve forgiveness”.

Mueller, originally from Prescott, Arizona, had traveled to the Turkish-Syrian border in December 2012 to work with groups providing support to Syrian refugees, her family said.

Kayla Mueller expresses solidarity with people of Syria in 2011 YouTube clip In a 2013 profile in Mueller’s hometown paper which highlighted her humanitarian work abroad, Mueller said she felt drawn to help after learning more about the situation in war-torn Syria.
When asked what kept her going in her mission, Mueller said

“I find God in the suffering eyes reflected in mine, if this is how you are revealed to me, this is how I will forever seek you.”

Mueller said that during her captivity, she drew comfort from her deep Christian faith, writing: I remember mom always telling me that all in all in the end the only one you really have is God. I have come to a place in experience where, in every sense of the word, I have surrendered myself to our creator b/c literally there was no else ... + by God + by your prayers I have felt tenderly cradled in freefall.”

She had spent the previous four years working for various aid groups in northern India, Israel and the Palestinian territories.

“We are so proud of the person Kayla was and the work that she did while she was here with us,” her family said. “She lived with purpose, and we will work every day to honor her legacy.”
“We remain heartbroken, also, for the families of the other captives who did not make it home safely and who remain in our thoughts and prayers. We pray for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Syria.”

Secretary of state John Kerry said the US was “unshaken” in its resolve to defeat the Islamic State, a group he called an “ugly insult to the civilized world.”
Arizona senator John McCain, who represents Mueller’s home state, said, “The thoughts and prayers of the people of Arizona, America, and the civilized world are with the Mueller family at this terrible hour.”

In his statement, Obama said: “Isil is a hateful and abhorrent terrorist group whose actions stand in stark contrast the spirit of people like Kayla.”
He said: “No matter how long it takes, the United States will find and bring to justice the terrorists who are responsible for Kayla’s captivity and death.”

Update re: VIDEOs-ISIS >al-Qaeda Prepared for Vatican Attack >Many Arrested

Islamic State Militants 'Burn 45 People to Death in Iraq'

Jihadist militants from Islamic State (IS) have burned to death 45 people in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, the local police chief says.


BBC 18 Feb 2015






Exactly who these people were and why they were killed is not clear, but Col Qasim al-Obeidi said he believed some were members of the security forces.

IS fighters captured much of the town, near Ain al-Asad air base, last week.
Col Obeidi said a compound that houses the families of security personnel and local officials was now under attack.
He pleaded for help from the government and the international community.
The fighting and poor communications in the area make it difficult to confirm such reports.

Earlier this month, IS published a video showing militants burning alive a Jordanian air force pilot, whose plane crashed in Syria in December.

Siege

Al-Baghdadi had been besieged for months by Islamic State fighters before its fall on Thursday.
It had been one of the few towns to still be controlled by the Iraqi government in Anbar province, where IS and allied Sunni Arab tribesmen launched an offensive in January 2014.
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm John Kirby told reporters on Friday that al-Baghdadi's capture needed to be put in perspective.
He said it was the first time in the last couple of months that the jihadist group had taken new ground.

However, Ain al-Asad air base, where about 320 US Marines are training members of the Iraqi army's 7th Division, is only 8km (5 miles) away.
The base was itself attacked by IS militants, among them several suicide bombers, on Friday. The militants were eventually repelled by Iraqi troops backed by US-led coalition aircraft.

In a separate development on Tuesday, the influential Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr announced he was withdrawing his forces from an umbrella group of Shia militia fighting IS alongside the Iraqi army.
He cited what he called the bad behaviour of other militia within the Popular Mobilisation Forces, whom he accused of "wreaking havoc through murdering, kidnapping and violating sanctuaries".

Shia militia have been accused of kidnapping and killing scores of Sunni civilians since Islamic State launched an offensive in northern Iraq last June that saw it seize large swathes of the country.

UN Urged to Investigate ISIS's Bloody Trade in Human Organs After Iraqi Ambassador Reveals Doctors are Being Executed For Not Harvesting Body Parts

  • Iraqi ambassador says corpses are being found with missing body parts
  • Victims have been found in mass graves close to ISIS stronghold Mosul
  • Mohamed Alhakim says doctors are killed if they refuse to harvest organs
  • Horrifying trade in human organs is boosting ISIS' $2 million-a-day income

Daily Mail UK, 18 Feb 2015

Iraq has urged the United Nations to investigate Islamic State terrorists' bloody trade in human organs after the Iraqi ambassador said doctors are being executed for not harvesting body parts.

Mohamed Alhakim claimed that dozens of bodies with surgical incisions and missing body parts have been found in shallow mass graves near ISIS stronghold Mosul over the past few weeks.
ISIS' horrifying trade in human organs, which was revealed by MailOnline last December, is just the latest way for the terrorist organisation to finance its activities, with other major sources of the group's $2 million-a-day income being the sale of oil, ransom payments, and smuggled antiques.





Lucrative: ISIS has set up a specialist organ-smuggling division whose sole responsibility is to sell human hearts, livers and kidneys on the lucrative international black market


Speaking of ISIS' organ harvesting operations, Mr Alhakim said: 'We have bodies. Come and examine them. It is clear they are missing certain parts.'
He also said a dozen doctors have been 'executed' in Mosul for refusing to participate in organ harvesting.

Mr Alhakim briefed the UN Security Council on the overall situation in Iraq and accused ISIS of 'crimes of genocide' in targeting certain ethnic groups.

The outgoing UN envoy to Iraq, Nikolay Mladenov, also told the council that last month alone, 790 people were killed by terrorism and armed conflict in the country.
He also noted the increasing number of reports and allegations that IS is using organ harvesting as a financing method, but he said only that 'it's very clear that the tactics ISIL is using expand by the day'. He used an acronym for the group.





Making them rich: Mohamed Alhakim claimed that dozens of bodies with surgical incisions and missing body parts have been found in shallow mass graves near ISIS stronghold Mosul (pictured) over the past few weeks


Mr Mladenov said Iraq's most pressing goal is to win back the vast territory that ISIS has seized over the past year.
The Sunni militants currently controls around a third of both Iraq and neighbouring Syria and imposed its strict interpretation of Sharia law in its self-declared caliphate - subjecting a population of around four million people to a brutal campaign of rape and massacre.

'Especially worrying is the increasing number of reports of revenge attacks committed particularly against members of the Sunni community in areas liberated from ISIL control,' Mr Mladenov said, using an alternative acronym for the group known as ISIS in the West and Daesh in Arab nations.

The shocking news of ISIS trade in human organs was first revealed in a report by al-Monitor news website in December, citing an Iraqi ear, nose and throat doctor named Siruwan al-Mosuli.
He told the site that ISIS commanders hired foreign doctors to run an extensive organ trafficking system from a hospital in Mosul that is already beginning to generate huge profits.





Militants: Each of the letters is signed with a purple stamp, indicating the province from which it was sent. They are understood to have been handed to ISIS' network of messengers and fighters


The al-Monitor report also claims the terror organisation has even set up a specialist organ-smuggling division whose sole responsibility is to sell human hearts, livers and kidneys on the lucrative international black market.

'[Al-Mosuli] said that lately he noticed unusual movement within medical facilities in Mosul Arab and foreign surgeons were hired, but prohibited from mixing with local doctors,' the report's author wrote. 'Information then leaked about organ selling.'

The report went on: 'Surgeries take place within a hospital and organs are quickly transported through networks specialized in trafficking human organs. Mosuli said that the organs come from fallen fighters who were quickly transported to the hospital, injured people who were abandoned or individuals who were kidnapped.'

Most of the organs are then smuggled out of Syria and Iraq into neighboring countries like Saudi Arabia or Turkey where criminal gangs sell them on to shady buyers across the globe, the Assyrian International News Agency reported.

While organ harvesting may be the most shocking of IS' revenue streams, the report highlights a string of others that contribute to the group's $2million annual income.

IS LIBYAN BEACH EXECUTIONER AN AMERICAN? EXPERTS CLAIM ISIS JIHADI SPOKE WITH U.S. ACCENT

Intelligence chiefs are investigating claims the Islamic State jihadi who led the executions of 21 Egyptians was an American recruit.

The militant, who spoke English with a U.S. accent, appeared in a horrific video on Sunday showing the beheadings of a group of Coptic Christians on a beach in Libya.




Brandishing a knife, he declares: 'All crusaders... the sea you have hidden Sheikh Osama bin Laden's body in, we swear to Allah we will mix it with your blood.'



The men are then forced to lie face-down before they are beheaded simultaneously.

U.S. officials are understood to be analysing the militant's facial features and speech patterns as has been done in the hunt for the British executioner known as Jihadi John, who has appeared in a number of beheading videos in Syria.

Professor Erik Thomas, a linguistics expert at North Carolina State University, believes he 'sounds like an American' with some Arabic influence, based on some of word pronunciations.

One tactic is smuggling families and individuals into other countries. The report highlights one instance when a family paid ISIS over $8,000 per individual to sneak them into Turkey.

Drug smuggling is another. Al Monitor's report claims that IS traffics Afghan heroin into Europe from the city of Nineveh, which the Russian Federal Drug Control Service (RFDCS) says is generating 'significant revenues.'


Its drug business has become so successful in recent months that the RFDCS claims that IS now supplies half of Europe's entire heroin market.

Yesterday it was revealed that militants fighting for ISIS in Syria are making millions of pounds selling ancient statues and mosaics to wealthy Westerners using a complex system of smugglers and middle men.

Looted from ancient buildings in ISIS strongholds, such as the group's de facto capital city Raqqa, the antiquities are up to 10,000-years-old and can exchange hands for more than $1 million each.

The most expensive items are covertly smuggled overseas - usually on the orders of wealthy Europeans - but there is also a lucrative trade in less historically important objects, which often find their way into tourist shops and markets in neighbouring Lebanon and Turkey.

The trade in antiquities is one of ISIS' primary sources of funding, along with oil and ransom payments, and is estimated to fills the terrorists coffers with tens of millions of pounds every year.

The finer points of ISIS trade in antiquities was uncovered in an investigation by the BBC.

It revealed that ISIS militants charge smugglers 20 per cent on the sale of ancient items found or looted in territory under its control. If the smugglers decide not to buy the items, they are promptly smashed to pieces as examples of idolatry, regardless of their historic significance.

Isil Abducts at Least 90 from Christian Villages in Syria

Two Syria-based activist groups confirm Assyrian hostages seized ancient Christian villages from northeastern Syria by Islamic State jihadists


The Telegraph UK, 24 Feb 2015





Isil fighters are believed to be holding between 70 and 100 hostages captive,
-most of them from the Christian Assyrian village of Tal Shamiram


Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) militants have abducted at least 90 people from Assyrian Christian villages in northeastern Syria, two monitor groups that track violence in Syria said on Tuesday.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the abductions took place after dawn raids in villages inhabited by the ancient Christian minority near the town of Tel Hmar, a mainly Assyrian town, in the western countryside of the city of Hasaka, a city mainly held by the Kurds.





The latest offensive coincides with a push by Syrian Kurds in northeastern Syria near the Iraqi border since Sunday that had compounded losses for the militant group in Syria.


Nuri Kino, the head of a separate activist group A Demand For Action that focuses on religious minorities in the Middle East, said Isil fighters are holding between 70 and 100 captive, most of them from the Christian Assyrian village of Tal Shamiram.
Kino said on Tuesday his group based its information on conversations with villagers who fled the onslaught and their relatives.

Tal Shamiram is located some 50 miles southwest of the Hassakeh provincial capital of Qamishli. Isil overran Tal Shamiram and other nearby Assyrian villages on Monday.
On Monday night, Christian groups had said they were checking a report that up to 200 civilians had been kidnapped by Isil jihadists in the fighting and were being held as hostages.

A number of fighters from a Christian militia, the Syriac Military Council, were also said to be missing.

The council, known by the initials MFS from its title in Aramaic, the ancient language of the Christian church, was founded in 2013 as jihadists began to dominate more of northern Syria.
It is allied to the YPG, the Syrian Kurdish militia involved in the defence of the town of Kobane, and on Sunday joined it in a drive against Isil in the north-eastern province of Hassakeh.

On Sunday night, it claimed to have driven the jihadists out of 22 villages, including a string of settlements occupied by the Assyrian Catholic minority between Hassakeh town and the Turkish border.
However, on Monday morning, Isil struck back, fighting its way into Tel Hormizd, nearby Tel Shamiran and Tel Tawil, and several other villages, according to a statement. According to one report, the Isil fighters were led by the infamous Chechen jihadist Omar al-Shishani.

A separate statement issued on the Facebook page of a group set up to campaign for Christians under threat from Isil said a large number of Christians had been seized by the group in yesterday morning’s attack.

“The men were later brought to a mountain called Abd al Aziz to be held as hostages,” it said. “The women and children were left in the village with Isil guards controlling them.

Jihadi John Named as Mohammed Emwazi from West London UK

>The Jihadi John Apologists: Outrage as Human Rights Group Describes ISIS Executioner as a 'Beautiful, Extremely Kind and Gentle Young Man' - Then Blames BRITAIN for Radicalising Him

Asim Qureshi helped name his friend Mohammed Emwazi as Jihadi John

Mr Qureshi said that MI5 had harassed Emwazi and help radicalise him
Campaigner was tearful as he described him as 'extremely kind and gentle'

He added that 'the man I knew would never hurt a single person

'
'When are we going to finally learn that when we treat people as if they're outsiders they will look for belonging elsewhere'

Comments caused fury from people who believe MI5 were doing their job


CAGE broadcast was on Sky News for 58 minutes without interruption and the
BBC showed it for 52 minutes

Daily Mail UK, 26 Feb 2015


The group who helped name Mohammed Emwazi as ISIS executioner Jihadi John caused outrage today after blaming MI5 for pushing him towards his killing spree in Syria. Asim Qureshi, research director at the rights group CAGE, described the world's most wanted man as 'extremely kind, extremely gentle and the most humble young person that I ever knew'.

At a press conference today Mr Qureshi was close to tears as he said Emwazi, who is linked to a string of executions of ISIS prisoners, 'was such a beautiful man'.Mr Qureshi said he was radicalised after the security services harassed him and alienated him because 'the man I knew would never hurt a single person.'He said: 'When are we going to finally learn that when we treat people as if they're outsiders, they are going to feel like outsiders and they will look for belonging elsewhere.'

Mr Qureshi was asked if he had failed to report him to the authorities if had suspicions that Emwazi was Jihadi John, but he said he had no idea until approached by journalists.

CAGE SPOKESMAN WALKS OFF LIVE SKY NEWS INTERVIEW

A Cage spokesman walked off a Sky News interview live on air after being asked if he condemned the actions of Jihadi John.
Cerie Bullivant accused interviewer Kay Burley of asking him 'inherently xenophobic' questions, to which she replied: ‘Nonsense, get over yourself.’





Removing his earpiece: Cage spokesman Cerie Bullivant walked off a live Sky News interview





Off he goes: Mr Bullivant accused Kay Burley of asking him 'inherently xenophobic' questions


He claimed that the security services in Britain have ‘time and again harassed people and pushed them , and that has played a part in the radicalisation of this man’.

Mr Bullivant - who spent two years on a control order designed for terrorist suspects, but was an innocent man - was then asked by Burley: ‘Do you condemn his actions’

But he replied, before walking off: ‘I've already said… I'm sorry, I'm not answering that question, that's a ridiculous question, I’ve already gone through this and dealt with it.’

After he walked off screen, Burley paused before looking at the camera and smiling.

The assertion that MI5 'alienated' Emwazi caused fury online, accusing CAGE of being apologists for 'barbarism'.

Bev Hateley ‏said she was 'enraged and disgusted' by 'excuses' that 'Jihadi John was radicalised by MI5 harassment'.

Anthony Shaw wrote: 'So it's all the fault of MI5 that 'Jihadi John' takes great delight in cutting innocents' heads off.

Dean from Liverpool tweeted: 'How can MI5 in ANY way, even if they did harass him, create a man who cuts people heads off their shoulders'.

Another said: 'You don't go from innocent to executioner because your being harassed. Maybe MI5 had reason to suspect, and he's proved them right'.

Emails releases by CAGE today revealed how MI5 repeatedly tried to recruit Mohammed Emwazi as an informant and put him on a terror watchlist to stop him leaving Britain.

Emwazi is believed to have become known to the security services in 2009 when he was accused of trying to fight with Somali terror group Al-Shabaab in east Africa.

The British citizen, who was born in Kuwait and moved to the UK aged six, flew to Tanzania with two friends after he graduated from the University of Westminster claiming he was going on safari.

But he was arrested as soon as he touched down in capital Dar es Salaam and deported by Tanzanian's officials.
He flew back to Britain via Amsterdam and told a friend MI5 were waiting for him at Schiphol Airport and tried to recruit him to share information on extremists, Emwazi told a confidant.
Emwazi claimed that an MI5 agent called Nick accused him of trying to go to Somalia to fight for Al Shabaab and said:

'Listen Mohammed: You've got the whole world in front of you; you're 21 years old; you just finished Uni – why don't you work for us?'.

The Jihadi John suspect turned down the offer and claims he was told:

'You're going to have a lot of trouble ...you're going to be known...you're going to be followed...life will be harder for you.'

Emwazi claimed in emails to Qureshi that he was repeatedly approached by the security services over the course of the following year but he said he refused to co-operate and denied he had any links to terrorism.














Hostages who have survived being held by ISIS in Syria and Iraq have said that Jihadi John is a man 'obsessed' with Somalia and would make them watch Al-Shabaab videos while in captivity.

KUWAIT, BRITAIN AND TANZANIA: TRAVELS AND TIMELINE OF EMWAZI

1988: Born in Kuwait
c1994: Moved to Britain aged six, where he grew up in Queen's Park, west London
2009: Graduated from University of Westminster in computer programming
May 2009: Flies to Tanzania for 'planned safari' but is detained by police in Dar es Salaam. Eventually deported but he is allegedly accused by MI5 of trying to reach Somalia, en route in Amsterdam
Autumn 2009: Returns to Britain but soon moves back to Kuwait and finds work at a computer firm
June 2010: Counter-terrorism police detain him upon his return to London to finalise his wedding plans, and he is not allowed to return
2012: Emwazi heads for Syria and joins ISIS

In June 2010 counter-terrorism officers, linked to the security services and Scotland Yard, allegedly arrested him as he tried to fly to Kuwait. He was fingerprinted and searched, it was said, and put on a terror watchlist preventing him from leaving Britain.
In an email to Mr Qureshi he said:

'I feel like a prisoner, only not in a cage, in London. A person imprisoned & controlled by security service men, stopping me from living my new life in my birthplace & country, Kuwait'.

Another friend said that Emwazi later tried to travel to Saudi Arabia to teach English in 2012 but again stopped from leaving.

He was 'desperate' to leave Britain and 'was ready to exhaust every single kind of avenue within the machinery of the state to bring a change for his personal situation', Mr Qureshi said.
Mr Qureshi said he last heard from him that year and said the Jihadi John suspect believed 'actions were taken to criminalize him and he had no way to do something against these actions'.

Soon afterwards he vanished and is believed to have travelled to Syria, where he may now be ISIS' figurehead.





On the scene: Police officers near the property where Emwazi once lived in Queen's Park, west London



If Emwazi's account of his contact with MI5 is accurate, his case has a parallels with that of Lee Rigby's murderer Michael Adebolajo, who was jailed for life in 2013.

His trial heard that just three months before the appalling murder in Woolwich, MI5 was trying to recruit Michael Adebolajo as an informant.
He had been on their radar for ten years and in 2010 was even arrested with fellow Al Qaeda followers in Kenya.

Adebolajo complained of being 'harassed' by MI5 agents before the killing and it later it emerged that they had failed to watch him carefully enough before he murdered Drummer Rigby with the help of his friend Michael Adebowale.

Jihadi John's Old University was a 'Hotbed of Radicalism Where Students Celebrated 9/11', Claims Ex-Pupil - and Hate Preacher was Even Due to Speak There TONIGHT

Daily Mail UK, 26 Feb 2015


Jihadi John's former university was a 'hotbed of radicalism' where students 'celebrated 9/11', it has been claimed.

A former student two years older than the Islamic State executioner has lifted the lid on his time at the university - as it's also revealed a talk by a Muslim hate preacher has been postponed due to 'security concerns'.




Hate preacher: Haitham al-Haddad's speech has been posponed



Haitham al-Haddad was set to speak tonight, but the event will not go ahead as planned after it was revealed 'Jihadi John' studied computer programming at the university.

Today, the terrorist was named as a university graduate from London who was able to flee to Syria despite being on an MI5 terror watch list.
Mohammed Emwazi, 27, of Queen’s Park, west London is said to have travelled to the Middle East three years ago and later joined ISIS.
Jihadi John has featured in the execution videos of British aid workers Alan Henning and David Haines, U.S. journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, Japanese reporter Kenji Goto and Syrian soldiers.
Former University of Westminster pupil Raheem Kassam, who campaigns against extremism at British universities, said the conditions at the university are right for the radicalisation of someone like Emwazi.

Speaking today, he said: ‘I once walked into a meeting of the Islamic Society where they were clapping and cheering the events of 9/11.
‘I did not know him, he would have been two years behind me, but I am utterly unsurprised.'

‘The university was nothing less than a hotbed of radicalism when I was there.
‘Universities across the country, the University of Westminster in particular, are being targeted by radical recruiters.'

A spokesperson from the University of Westminster said: 'We take these allegations very seriously. We condemn any behaviour that promotes terrorism and violence on any of our campuses.
'We have strict policies to promote tolerance among our 20,000 student community, who come to study from over 150 nations.
'Any student found to be engaging in radicalised activity would be referred to disciplinary procedures.
'As a London-based university operating in a diverse multi-cultural city, we are fully aware of all the influences within this international city. With other universities in London, we are working together to implement the Government’s Prevent strategy to tackle extremism.
'We strongly encourage anyone who is concerned about radicalisation to speak out and contact the Student Support and Well-being team. The safety and security of our students is our foremost concern.'





Former pupil Raheem Kassam, who campaigns against extremism at British universities, said the conditions at the university are right for the radicalisation of someone like Emwazi



Dr Al-Haddad's planned visit to the university sparked anger and a petition launched by the university’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) society opposing his visit was signed by more than 3,000 people.

He has advocated that gays should be outlawed and has also praised terror boss Osama bin Laden. He has also spoken out in favour of female genital mutilation.

He has claimed Jewish people are descended from 'apes and pigs' and says people who leave Islam should be executed, although he has claimed in the past his comments have been misinterpreted.


This afternoon, a spokesperson for the university said: ‘Tonight’s event has been postponed due to increased sensitivity and security concerns.’

The University of Westminster has been criticised for segregating male and female students during talks by Islamic scholars.
It was one of 21 university institutions which were found to promote gender segregation.

Research by Student Rights, a group which aims to prevent extremism at universities, said that from September to March 2013, 46 events at 21 separate institutions were found to have been segregated.

At the University of Westminster, at least two events were found to have been advertised as ‘women only’.
The research found that on March 21, 2013 a debate entitled ‘Secularism vs. Islam’ was held by the Women’s Take on Current Affairs Society (WTCA), a Hizb ut-Tahrir front group, and featured Shohana Khan as a speaker.

When challenged by students as to why the WTCA was able to hold events segregated by gender, the Student Union Interfaith Officer allegedly claimed that the society’s events were ‘faith-based’, which exempted it from equal opportunities policy.

In addition to this, an event the following day was held by the Islamic Society called ‘The Concept of Love in Islam’ which was also advertised as ‘Sisters only’. It was logged by Student Rights for this reason.

Student Rights said that when a male student from the society complained about not being able to attend, the Islamic Society highlighted that segregated events were common on campus stating ‘we’ve had many brothers only events too...the information discussed in the only women talks/or notes can be put to the public after the talk...the topics at hand do not only concern women.’

The University of Westminster’s ‘Dignity and Diversity at Work and Study Policy’ states that: ‘The University of Westminster is committed to creating a stimulating, supportive, inclusive and accessible learning and working environment... The University has a legal responsibility to provide a healthy and safe working environment that is free from unlawful discrimination and harassment.’

I once walked into a meeting of the Islamic Society where they were clapping and cheering the events of 9/11.
It was at that moment in my life I realised I wanted to set up an organisation in my life to tackle it.
Having been brought up in a Muslim household and then seeing that happening is pretty galling stuff.’
Universities across the country, the University of Westminster in particular, are being targeted by radical recruiters.
These guys [students] are being professionally radicalised. They tried it with me and they try it with any Muslim.
I remember very vividly how I would get cornered by three or four Somali guys - students in the class with me who were dressed in non-western clothing – and they would say I must come along to the Islamic Society meetings otherwise I’m not a proper Muslim.
When you are 18-years-old and a practising Muslim you feel inclined to go.
I went along and saw what was happening and it absolutely disgusted me.

Pumped Full of Drugs as His Arm is Tightly Bandaged to Reduce Blood Flow
-Another 'Thief' is Maimed by ISIS in Photographs Revealing how Criminals are Medically Prepared Before Sickening Amputation

  • Photos taken in Mosul show ISIS militants exacting harsh punishments
  • Men are seen having their hands hacked off with massive meat cleavers
  • Images show in graphic detail the medical preparation for the brutal act
  • Victims are pumped full of drugs to reduce the agony of the punishment
Daily Mail UK, 6 March 2015


Militants fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq have released gruesome new images of alleged thieves having their hands hacked off in front of crowds bloodthirsty onlookers.
The photographs were taken in ISIS stronghold Mosul and show in gruesome detail how the terrorists pump their victims full of drugs before using a massive meat cleaver to cut off the hands.

Hundreds of people are seen lining the streets of the oil-rich city to get a better view of the barbaric act, which is carried out by several masked militants led by a white-bearded elderly man named Abu Ansar al-Ansari, who appears to be orchestrating proceedings.

Photographs of the horrific punishments are being shared by pro-ISIS social media users, who use the Arabic file sharing website Nasher to exchange images of the terror group's latest atrocities.
The images begin by showing charge sheets carrying ISIS' chilling black and white logo which accuse the prisoners of stealing.

Crowds of men are then shown lining the streets to witness the savage punishments, with young boys clambering on to their father's shoulders in order to get a better view.
Keeping the baying crowd in line are dozens of heavily armed militants, who wear military fatigues as they stand facing the onlookers in an intimidating fashion.

Images of the actual amputation itself show militants crowding around the victim, while ropes are used to pull his arm taut and allow the cleaver-wielding jihads and clean strike.
While most of those involved cover their faces, one elderly militant known as Abu Ansar al-Ansari does not cover his thick white beard as he oversees the entire atrocity.

The distinctive fighter has become notorious in recent months after appearing in numerous videos released by ISIS showing their barbaric acts.
After having his hand hacked off, the victim is seen receiving medical treatment to ensure the wound does not become infected.

His arm is wrapped in thick bandages and more anaesthetising drugs are seen being pumped into his body to numb the pain before he is driven away from the crowds in the back of a van.

The images emerged just days after similar photographs taken in the terror group's de facto capital Raqqa showed a terrified young man being dragged into a public square to have his hand cut off.

The blindfolded victim was forced to sit in a chair in the centre of the square, where he was held in place by one of the jihadis, while two others use a cleaver to brutally sever his hand from his arm.

The horrific images were shared on the Twitter page of the local activist group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, who work undercover in the city to expose the atrocities committed by ISIS.
The four photographs are high quality shots and carry the distinctive yellow branding of ISIS' Al-Hayat Media Center, suggesting they may be stills from an as-yet unreleased propaganda video.

19+ Tourists Shot Dead-89 Injured Terrorist Attack in Tunisia

Daily Mail UK, 18 March 2015


Nineteen tourists are reported to have died, and many injured after an attack in a Tunisian museum.

The Tunisian prime minister announced that the victims were Polish, Spanish, German, Italian and Tunisian, according to the BBC.

British tour operators confirmed that thousands of customers are believed to be in the country, but "very few" are in the capital.






A UK Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are urgently looking into the serious situation in Tunisia."


A spokesman for the Association of British Travel Agents (Abta) said: "We are currently liaising with our members and the Foreign Office to assess the impact and understand if any British nationals have been caught up in the attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis.

"Tunisia attracts over 400,000 UK visitors each year, with the vast majority travelling to resorts on the coast.
"Abta members have reported that they have currently approximately 6,500 customers in Tunisia, though very few of these are staying in Tunis. As a precaution many Abta tour operators have cancelled local excursions to Tunis due to depart over the next few days."

The National Bardo Museum is near the national parliament building, which was evacuated after the shooting.
The museum is a leading tourist attraction that chronicles Tunisia's history and houses one of the world's largest collections of Roman mosaics.

EU's Mogherini Blames Islamic State for Tunisia Attack


BRUSSELS, March 18 (Reuters) -


European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini blamed Islamic State on Wednesday for an attack on tourists in Tunisia that killed 19 people, including 17 foreign tourists.

"With the attack that has struck Tunis today, the Daesh terrorist organisation is once again targeting the countries and peoples of the Mediterranean region," she said in a statement, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State.
"This strengthens our determination to cooperate more closely with our partners to confront the terrorist threat," she said. "The EU is determined to mobilise all the tools it has to fully support Tunisia in the fight against terrorism and reforming the security sector."

Girls as Young as Nine Dragged Away From Their Families by Their Hair...
and Forced to Endure Beatings and Rapes at the Hands of ISIS Fighters:
Yazidi Survivor Reveals Hell She Suffered Before Escaping


  • ISIS snatched dozens of girls after storming the town of Sinjar last August
  • Taken to warehouse where they were lined up and hand picked by fighters
  • Survivor says she shakes with fear when she sees 'someone with a beard'


Daily Mail UK, 15 April 2015


A Yazidi teenager has told how Islamic State fighters stormed her town with shocking brutality, dragging girls as young as ten by their hair and carting them off like cattle to become sex slaves.



Hanan, 19, was snatched from her family, suffered regular beatings and taken to a warehouse in Mosul, Iraq, where hundreds of women were lined up and hand picked by jihadist militants.
She and six others were then taken to a house in a nearby village where they met a fellow Yazidi girl who had been incarcerated there for the last two months, she said.

The girl told them she had been beaten, handcuffed and raped and their captors warned they would soon suffer the same fate.

Newly released members of the Yazidi minority, including one girl with an injured leg, wait for medical help after being set free by ISIS near Kirkuk, northern Iraq last week. One Yazidi survivor (not pictured) has told how girls as young as ten were dragged away from their families and raped at the hands of ISIS militants




Hanan managed to escape that night with some of the other girls by jumping out of a bedroom window, but two of them were caught as they fled.
Speaking of the moment ISIS attacked her village last August, she said: 'They separated all of us. They dragged us away by our hair.

The youngest with us was just 10. We were all crying. They said we are going to marry you off, you will forget your family.'

Hanan is now recovering at the Shariya refugee camp in Dohuk Iraqi Kurdistan, where hundreds of other Yazidis have fled, but says she shakes with fear every time she sees 'someone with a beard'.

Tens of thousands of Yazidis were forced to flee for their lives - many of them into the nearby Sinjar mountains and then into Kurdish-held regions of northern Iraq during the ISIS offensive in August.








Relief: 216 prisoners, including 40 children, believed they were being led to their execution, but were instead piled onto minibuses for a handover southwest of Kirkuk. It is not known why they were released


However many were captured by the militants, resulting in the massacre of hundreds of men and the selling into slavery of women and children, after they were first divided up between militants

A magazine published by the terror group, Dabiq, last year attempted to justify the sickening treatment of the Yazidis.
Explaining why Yazidis have been sold into sex slavery while those from other groups have not, the magazine claims Islamic Sharia law allows the enslavement of innocent 'polytheists and pagans' but not of those the militants regard as simply heretical.

Last week, aid workers reported that a nine-year-old girl was pregnant after suffering horrific sexual abuse at the hands of ISIS militants in northern Iraq.



She was among more than 200 Yazidi women, children and elderly who were released near Kirkuk, northern Iraq after being taken hostage last June.
According to aid workers, she was 'sexually abused by no fewer than ten men', while in captivity inside the self-proclaimed caliphate.

Mexican Authorities Say ISIS Camps Located a Few Miles from Texas and New Mexico

Terrorists Allegedly Smuggled into the U.S. With Illegal Drugs





by Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com | 15 April, 2015


The government watchdog group Judicial Watch cites Mexican government and military officials as saying the terror group ISIS, or Islamic State, has two camps in Mexico near the U.S. border.

One of the camps is reportedly located in Anapra, an area just west of Ciudad Juárez, and the other is near Puerto Palomas, a few miles from Columbus, New Mexico.

The Anapra area is dominated by the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Cartel (Juárez Cartel), La Línea (the enforcement arm of the cartel) and the Barrio Azteca (a gang originally formed in the jails of El Paso), according to the Judicial Watch report.

A Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector told Judicial Watch human traffickers, known as coyotes, working for the Juárez Cartel are smuggling IS terrorists into the United States through the porous border between Acala and Fort Han****, Texas.

Judicial Watch says this area was targeted because of understaffed municipal and county police forces and and large scale transit of illegal drugs from Mexico.


Mexican Intelligence Sources Report



Quote:
ISIS intends to exploit the railways and airport facilities in the vicinity of Santa Teresa, NM (a US port-of-entry). The sources also say that ISIS has “spotters” located in the East Potrillo Mountains of New Mexico (largely managed by the Bureau of Land Management) to assist with terrorist border crossing operations. ISIS is conducting reconnaissance of regional universities; the White Sands Missile Range; government facilities in Alamogordo, NM; Ft. Bliss; and the electrical power facilities near Anapra and Chaparral, NM.


In 2014, Midland County, Texas Sheriff Gary Painter said ISIS would cross the border and strike the United States.

In August, a former CIA officer, Mike Baker, told the Laura Ingraham Show ISIS works with the drug cartels.

Judicial Watch said in August ISIS was using Juárez as a staging area and planned to launch a car bomb attack against Fort Bliss, a U.S. Army base about fifteen minutes from the border.

“The US administration has also covered up, or at the very least downplayed, a serious epidemic of crime along the Mexican border even as heavily armed drug cartels have taken over portions of the region,” the group stated. “Judicial Watch has reported that the U.S. Border Patrol actually ordered officers to avoid the most crime-infested stretches because they’re ‘too dangerous’ and patrolling them could result in an ‘international incident’ of cross border shooting. In the meantime, who could forget the famous words of Obama’s first Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano; the southern border is ‘as secure as it has ever been.’”


In September, Infowars reporter Joe Biggs. traveled to the area and crossed the Rio Grande dressed in an ISIS terrorist outfit. The stunt demonstrated how easy it would be for terrorists to enter the country:

Update re: VIDEOs/PhOtOs-ISIS Attacks Around The World & UPDATES

ANZAC Day Terror Plot:
Friends of Slain Militant Numan Haider Planned to Hack Police Officers to Death With Swords and Knives at Memorial Ceremonies for Australia's Fallen Soldiers


  • Sevdet Besim, 18, was charged with 'conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts' on Saturday afternoon
  • He was one of five teenagers who officers arrested for planning terror acts
  • Police allege they planned to target an 'Anzac Day ceremony'
  • They are expected to be charged with a number of offences including the possession of prohibited items, with 'edged weapons' found at a property
  • Over 200 police officers raided seven properties in Melbourne on Saturday
Daily Mail Australia/The Australian, 18 April 2015






SYDNEY (AP) — Five Australian teenagers were arrested Saturday on suspicion of plotting an Islamic State group-inspired terrorist attack at a Veterans' Day ceremony that included targeting police officers, officials said.


The suspects included two 18-year-olds who are alleged to have been preparing an attack at the ANZAC Day ceremony in Melbourne later this month, Australian Federal Police Acting Deputy Commissioner Neil Gaughan told reporters.


Another 18-year-old was arrested on weapons charges, and other men, aged 18 and 19, were in custody and assisting police. All the arrests took place in Melbourne.

ANZAC Day is the annual April 25 commemoration of the 1915 Gallipoli landings — the first major military action fought by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during World War I.
Police said they believe the plot was inspired by the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, and was to have involved "edged weapons."

"At this stage, we have no information that it was a planned beheading. But there was reference to an attack on police," Gaughan said. "Some evidence that we have collected at a couple of the scenes, and some other information we have, leads us to believe that this particular matter was ISIS-inspired."

Australia's government has raised the country's terror warning level in response to the domestic threat posed by supporters of the Islamic State group. In September last year, the group's spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani issued a message urging attacks abroad, specifically mentioning Australia.

Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Michael Phelan said at a separate news conference that the teens had links to Numan Haider, an 18-year-old who stabbed two Melbourne police officers and was subsequently shot dead in September. Haider had caught authorities' attention months earlier over what police considered troubling behavior, including waving what appeared to be an Islamic State group flag at a shopping mall.

Phelan said the teens arrested Saturday were on officials' radar for months, but the investigation was ramped up when it appeared they were planning a specific attack.



"This is a new paradigm for police," Phelan said. "These types of attacks that are planned are very rudimentary and simple. ... All you need these days is a knife, a flag and a camera and one can commit a terrorist act."

One of the teens, Sevdet Besim, appeared briefly in court Saturday on a charge of preparing for, or planning, a terrorist act. He did not apply for bail and was ordered to reappear in court next week.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has warned that the terrorism threat in Australia has escalated, with one-third of all terrorism-related arrests since 2001 occurring in the last six months. At least 110 Australians have gone to Iraq and Syria to fight alongside extremists, and the nation's security agency is juggling more than 400 high-priority counterterrorism investigations — more than double the number a year ago.


In September 2014, a man arrested during a series of counter terrorism raids was charged with conspiring with an Islamic State group leader in Syria to behead a random person in Sydney.

In December 2014, Man Monis, an Iranian-born, self-styled cleric with a long criminal history, took 18 people hostage inside a Sydney cafe, forced them to hold up a flag bearing the Islamic declaration of faith and demanded he be delivered a flag of the Islamic State group. Monis and two hostages were killed.


In February 2015, two men were charged with planning to launch an imminent, Islamic State group-inspired terrorist attack after authorities said they appeared on a video threatening to stab the kidneys and necks of their victims.


Abbott said the latest alleged plot was at an advanced stage of planning, prompting police to swoop in. Still, he urged the public to participate in ANZAC Day events as usual.

"The best sign of defiance we can give to those who would do us harm is to go about a normal, peaceful, free and fair Australian life," he said. "And I say to everyone who is thinking of going to an ANZAC Day event, please don't be deterred. Turn up in the largest possible numbers to support our country."

Accused Teens Were on Police Radar

Counter-terrorism investigators had been monitoring the teenagers arrested in Melbourne long before this weekend’s pre-dawn raids, officials say.

“These people have been on our radar but particularly since late last month the investigation ramped up and it became very obvious to us that their plans were specific,” AFP Deputy Commissioner Phelan told reporters in Sydney.

Authorities have refused to give specific details of the alleged planned attacks but say police at Anzac activities around Melbourne were the immediate target.
