[ April 18, 2024 ]
French authorities identified Sunday two of the eight Paris attackers killed in a series of planned shootings and bombings in the city and have arrested some of the man’s family members.
One of the suicide bombers who carried out the Paris attacks was identified Saturday by a French parliament member as Ismael Omar Mostefai. Jean-Pierre Gorges, who is also the mayor of Chatres, wrote on Facebook that Mostefai lived in his town until at least 2012. According to Le Monde, Mostefai likely traveled to Syria in the winter of 2013-2014, where he joined the ranks of the Islamic State.
FOX News: French prosecutors identified the man as Ismael Omar Mostefai as one of the attackers killed in the attacks Friday night, according to Sky News. Paris prosecutor’s office spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre said some of Mostefai’s family members have been arrested but refused to further comment on how many had been detained but said searches were underway.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told Sky News Mostefai had a criminal record and was known to security services, but never spent time in jail.
“He caught police’s attention due to the violation of public power,” Molins said. “From 2004 to 2010, he was pronounced guilty eight times, but has never been in prison. In 2010, he was blacklisted by the police due to extreme behaviours, but never been classified into any illegal extremist groups.”
Eight terrorists wielding AK-47s and wearing suicide belts carried out a series of coordinated attacks at six sites around Paris Friday night, killing at least 129 people and wounding at least 352 others.
“Who Are Ismaël Omar Mostefai And Abbdulakbak B.? Paris Attackers Responsible For France Bombings, Shootings,” By Jackie_Salo, IBTimes, November 14 2015
Ismaël Omar Mostefai and Abbdulakbak B. have been identified as two of the eight attackers who launched a deadly rampage in the French capital, killing at least 129 people and injuring more than 350. Ismael was reportedly identified from a fingerprint from a severed finger of one of the suicide bombers, French media reported.
The father and brother of Ismael, who is a French national, were being held by authorities on suspicion, according to reports.

All eight attackers have been killed, reported the Associated Press. At least seven of the militants died in suicide bombings. It was reported that when French authorities stormed the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, terminating a hostage situation involving more than 200 people, three of the gunmen detonated suicide belts, killing themselves.
Gunmen held the hostages for more than two hours, as gunfire and bangs could be heard from outside. About 100 people were executed at the Bataclan, Agence France-Presse reported. Some of those held hostage tweeted pleas for police assistance from inside the concert hall.
The assailants were all men and were not masked at the time of the attacks, the Los Angeles Times reported. It is believed that there were different sets of attackers involved Friday.
“Two or three individuals not wearing masks returned with automatic weapons of the Kalashnikov type and began to fire blindly into the crowd,” said a Europe 1 journalist who was at the Bataclan concert hall. “The attack lasted about a dozen or 15 minutes. It was extremely violent, and there was a wind of panic, everyone was running around and there were scenes of trampling. The assailants had time to reload at least three times. They weren’t masked, they were masters of themselves. They were very young.”
The series of attacks that gripped Paris began after two explosions were heard outside the Stade de France stadium. Earlier in the day, the German soccer team had been evacuated from a Paris hotel early Friday after a bomb threat, according to the Guardian. There were also shootings at three different restaurants in central Paris that left 39 dead.
France declared a state of emergency across the country Friday evening. The country has since closed its borders.

Frawnce needs to take back control of the banlieues (Muslim enclaves that surround Paris).
NO GO ZONES in Frawnce need to be cleaned out of jihadi terrorist gangs by any means necessary and the Rule of Law needs to be restored.

When the Parisians get a chance they should rip the heart out of Islam, tearing down Mosques, and let them know how they feel.
Honestly they should have a stab a Muslim year until all leave

The French should not emulate the muslims in any way. They have their own heritage of execution. Time to crank up the guillotines to cleanse France of the muslim savages and their collaborators.

Gettoize the no-go zones, run their a$$es in – no one AT ALL gets out — any resistance – exterminate whole apt blocks — then give the pukes 30 days to arrange free passage out of the country to another MUSLIM country — then round up the remainder and load them on garbage scows and tow them bock to North Africa in the stormiest weather time of year

I don’t blame the French people entirely. I blame the leaders of the EU – no borders, Merkel opening her arms wide and saying, “Come in! Come in, we love you!” to the terrorists, etc.
Generally ordinary citizens of a country just go through their daily chores, their jobs, etc. They have nothing to do with opening the gates and letting thousands and thousands of these male savages in. That’s one of the things ordinary people hire leaders for – to avoid allowing in savages and criminals.

There would have been carnage at the stadium but one of the suicide bombers was discovered by a guard during frisking. He backed away and detonated his bomb the second did it nearby and the third ran to to restaurant nearby and detonated his bomb killing four.
Mercifully a huge carnage was avoided thanks to the guard.

Yes Richard. I just read that.Geraldos daughter was there. I hope he is reconsidering with his leftist leanings. I also read that these savages at the club reloaded 3x during an attack over 15 minutes. What a difference is the club had a handful of armed guards or civilians would have made.

Oh dear, the candlelight vigils of the Left did not stop Islamic State. What now?
Guns, that’s what. Police cannot be everywhere combatting such a pervasive threat. We must arm the populace.
In today’s terror reality, we need legal guns for private citizens e.g. as in the state of Vermont, USA. Not by accident, Vermont has the lowest incidence of home invasions in the US.
Politicians who refuse even to name the problem (Islam) will not protect us, police are spread too thin to do so effectively. Our fallback position has to be vigilante justice. There is no alternative.
Scenario: The Bataclan concert hall, Paris. Present in the audience are 20–30 armed citizens. Islamic terrorists open up but are met with return fire. When the terrorists pause to reload, they are cut down in a hail of bullets.
Yes, there are collateral injuries, but casualties and deaths are minimized. By the time police arrrive all that is needed is a simple after-the-fact mopping up operation…

The US also gives the genocidal Fakestinian savages half a billion dollars a year, a large cut of which goes straight into the pockets of the Terrorist-in-Chief Mahmoud Abbasshole, now in the 13th year of a four-year term as “president”.

Watched a little of CNN, which is hard to do. They again try and twist the news by how they ask questions. A French Senator was being interviewed and she said that France and all of Europe need to close their borders. The look of shock on the faces of the two CNN interviews was priceless. The questions, I call them statements, coming at her, “how can you close borders”. She actually said that every migrant who come through the borders needs to checked. She also said that many of these migrants are from Afghanistan and Pakistan .. Did not take long for CNN to stop that interview and move on to the their next piece of propaganda.

Saw that, and realized that most reporters (i.e., CNN, NBC, CBS, BBC, ABC, etc.), aren’t bright at all.
I would have responded to the pair of IDIOTS from CNN as such:
Every passenger who wants to fly goes through a security screening process, or he/she doesn’t board. Not every passenger is bad but that’s the way it is.

The Sharia zones need cleaning out and put into internment camps. The EU then needs to send them back if they refuse to renounce Islam. Even then they are allowed to renounce but lie, under their warped cult. Until such time as this can be done in a humanitarian way they need to be placed under curfew.
Europe is paying the price for years of low birth rates and decadent living. As Churchill said, “we are about to enter a period of consequences.” Europeans need a revolution and kick out our weak leaders.

I’m shocked! I was sure that the murderers would turn out to be Honduran, Icelandic and Samoan. After all, the America-hating, Islamonazi-loving, Marxist, gay turd pile defiling the White House told us that these “workplace accidents” had nothing to do with his Islamonazi death cult.
The fact that one of these inbred savages was convicted eight times of criminal offences and never spent a minute in prison is an indictment of Socialist France’s dysfunction and descent into moral and financial bankruptcy.

Dear All, the biggest danger is not even Muslims, not even ISIS, but our own politically correct media, politicians who are gradually leading the free countries to disaster. If Europe wants to bring in people for their reduced population growth, there are many non-Muslims in Asia such as Hindus, Buddhists and others. People like Merkel has gone insane. In North East part of India, in just 3 counties, 100 girls per day are kidnapped and sold and there is daily ethnic cleansing. In Pakistan they reduced Hindu population from 25% to 1.2% in just few years. In Bangladesh from 30% to less than 10%. Overnight in 1989 they asked half million Kashmiri Hindu men to get out of the Kashmir state in India leaving their women (to use them as concubines). One Muslim politician blared in India, give us 24 hours without police and 200 million Muslims will slaughter 800 million Hindus. Our biggest challenge is leftists and that is where we are failing very badly. We are not able to question why Saudi Arabia that does not allow any other religion to practice even in ones own home is allowed to spend millions building Mosques. They do not want to take any Syrian refugees but willing to spend millions for building Mosques in Europe. They are donating to dubious foundations to buy up politicians. Can someone explain why Harvard and Yale want Islamic theology studies. What are they going to teach. There are 65 Islamic countries and not one, I repeat not one gives equal rights to non-Muslims. I do not trust politicians Hillary with her Islamic connections. Speak up before it is too late, go out and protest and defeat the candidates who do not speak truth about Islam.

Thank you for this.
Even more frightening? They are already challenging our courts with Sharia. Worse? Last month,Yale University accepted a $10 million dollar donation from the Saudis to build a Yale University Sharia Law Center.
In 2005, , aided by Obama operative and Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Manager John Podesta was instrumental in arranging a $20 million dollars donation to Georgetown University to build the Georgetown University Islamic Center. This Center then got a $5 million dollar taxpayer funded grant to created the Islamic Propaganda that has recently been inserted in Common Core. We paid for them to indoctrinate us! Like boxcutters…. these monsters have a sick sense of irony.

It is not a good sign when a pseudo intellectual like Hillary is more of a buffoon than a rich kid who inherited the family fortune, and strangely enough did not lose it immediately. American politics is, along with Canada and europe, keeping the average intelligence of political leaders very low.

It’s high time that France (with its 9 million Muslims) remove it’s entire Muslim population and shut down all mosques there. Where should they remove them to? No, not Devil’s Island but perhaps to Algeria.

Since Muslims claim sovereign authority of all the world they will not be stateless anywhere they get dropped off. First port that will accept them, even if the host needs to be persuaded. The momentum of the pendulum in all of Europe should swing the other way since Merkel’s opening of the gates of hell marks the high mark going the wrong way.
