Sami Amimour, one of the terrorists who burst into Bataclan music
concert in Paris and massacred 89 people, got a 'loving' tribute from
his sister. It
is not clear when the post which was first uncovered by ITV News, was
made but 2 pictures, thought to be the brother and sister as
youngsters, accompanying the post, reads: "Each blessed
day, I miss everything about you"
"I didn't
want to admit it to myself but I resemble you more and more -
be it your smile, your laugh, your look, your mannerisms, your way of
hiding what you are feeling or even more your generosity. Today is a
special day because it's the first day of the rest of your life. "I love
you and I will love you forever my brother, my twin, my blood, my life.
I love you my Samy."
An American in Paris survived the recent attack on the Bataclan by
playing dead. What’s even more extraordinary is that he also survived
the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center back in 2001.
TheTelegraph reports that 36-year-old Matthew (whose last name
has not been disclosed) was shot in the leg by one of the three
attackers who opened fire and took hostages at the Paris venue. His wife
had planned to accompany him to the sold-out Eagles of Death Metal
concert that night, but stayed home with their two children after their
attempts to find a babysitter failed. Recognizing the sound of gunshots, “perhaps it’s my
American culture,” he told the paper, Matthew bolted for the exit. He
went down after a bullet hit his leg, and said he played dead in order
to survive.
Each time the attackers paused to reload their guns, Matthew crawled
forward “centimeter by centimeter.” Eventually, he saw the ledge of the
exit, where he “was able to grip it with one finger, then the other.”
The family of Paris terror mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud declared yesterday he should have been ‘burnt to death’.
In the Moroccan hamlet where his father Omar was born, they have only just heard of the massacre he organised, leaving 129 dead.
But their verdict was immediate:
Abaaoud had no rightful place on this earth. ‘We rejoice the news he is dead. He deserved it,’ said Sayeed Abaaoud, a cousin of the killer and a village elder and patriarch of the clan.
‘I say he should have been burnt to death, because what he did was not allowed under Islam or any law.’
A police source said Moroccanintelligence had tipped off the French government about Abaaoud. He was killed alongside Hasna Ait Boulahcen, his 26-year-old cousin, who blew herself up.
He had been thought to have planned the massacre from Syria until intelligence placed him in Paris for Friday’s attacks.
Father-of-eight Sayeed, 65, said: ‘It is terrible, just terrible. I know it happened a week ago, but we only just heard about what Abdelhamid did, on Moroccan radio. We don’t have TV.
Sayeed said: ‘We feel very upset by the whole thing. Real Muslims do not do what Abdelhamid did. A good Muslim doesn’t steal or hurt people, so he is not a Muslim.’
The Islamic State killer’s death at the hands of French anti-terrorist police was confirmed yesterday.
The 27-year-old was shot in the head by a sniper then hit by grenades during the raid in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis on Wednesday. He had to be identified by his saliva.
Hasna Ait Boulahcen's brother says she had no interest in religion and never read the Koran, her friends describe her as carefree and party loving. Her brother says she had a troubled childhood and grew up in foster homes, the mastermind of the terror operation, Abdelhamid Abaaoud was her cousin. French police say they saw her head and part of her spine fly through a window when she blew herself up. More after the cut...
connection with the Paris terrorist attacks that left at least 129 people dead is Omar Ismail Mostefai, who was identified by his finger. The digit was found among the carnage of the Bataclan concert hall, where the 29-year-old was one of three men who blew himself up, killing 89
men, women and children.
Born on 21 November 1985, in the Paris suburb of Courcouronnes, Mostefai’s criminal record shows eight convictions for petty crimes between 2004
and 2010. Although he had never spent any time in jail, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Mostefai had been picked out as a high-priority target for radicalisation in 2010 But before Friday, Mostefai had ‘never been implicated in an investigation or a terrorist association'. Investigators are now investigating claims that he went to Syria last year, and may have spent time with IS terrorists. Mostefai's father and 34-year-old brother were
arrested on Saturday night and their homes were searched. 'It’s a crazy thing, it’s madness,' his brother
told French news agency AFP before he was taken into custody.'Yesterday I was in Paris and I saw how this s*** went down.' The brother, one of four boys in the family along with two sisters, turned himself in to police after learning Mostefai was involved in the attacks.
While he had cut ties with Mostefai several years ago, and knew he had been involved in petty crimes, his brother said he had never imagined his brother could be radicalized. The last he knew, Mostefai had gone to Algeria
with his family and his “little girl”, the brother said, adding: 'It’s been a time since I have had any news.I
called my mother, she didn’t seem to know anything.’ A source close to the inquiry said Mostefai
regularly attended the mosque in Luce, close to Chartres, to the southwest of Paris. Two of the suicide bombers who caused carnage in the Paris massacre are thought to have sneaked
into France by posing as refugees from Syria, it was revealed Saturday.
Police said the two men, who arrived in Greece last month, were among seven attackers, one as young as 15 years old. Serbian media last night reported that one of the terrorists was named as Ahmed Almuhamed. The
newspaper said that 25-year-old Almuhamed arrived in Europe on the Greek island of Leros on
Anti-terror police in France have evacuated the area around the Paris Eiffel tower, one of France biggest tourist sites. The police are at the Pullman
Hotel on Avenue de Suffren near the Eiffel tower, armed with automatic weapons taking cover and training their weapons on the Pullman hotel for fear of another attack.
The Islamic State group on Saturday claimed
responsibility for a wave of attacks in Paris that
left more than 120 people dead and at least 99
people injured on Friday night, and warms that the
killings were the "first of a storm" In a statement
released in Arabic, English, French and Russian, the group said its fighters donning suicide
explosive belts and wielding machine guns carried
out the targeted attacks in several locations in the
French capital. French security officials said one of the eight
attackers was a woman, according to report. A
Syrian passport was reportedly found near the body
of one attacker. And at least one of the attackers
was reportedly French. All of the attackers are
dead, seven detonated their suicide vests and one was killed during the police raid at Bataclan
concert hall where people were being held
hostage. The statements said eight militants armed with
explosive belts and automatic weapons attacked
carefully chosen targets in the "capital of adultery
and vice," including a soccer stadium where France
was playing Germany, and the Bataclan concert
hall, where an American rock band was playing, and "hundreds of apostates were attending an
adulterous party" "Eight brothers carrying explosive belts and guns
targeted areas in the heart of the French capital
that were specifically chosen in advance: the Stade
de France during a match against Germany which
that imbecile Francois Hollande was attending; the
Bataclan where hundreds of idolaters were together in a party of perversity as well as other
targets in the tenth, eleventh and eighteenth
arrondissement," said the ISIS statement. "France and those who follow its path must know
that they remain the principal targets of the
Islamic State," it continued. The message
suggested that there will be more attacks in the
future. "The smell of death will never leave their noses as
long as they lead the convoy of the Crusader
campaign," it said, adding that ISIS militants "are
proud of fighting Islam in France and striking the
Muslims in the land of the Caliphate with their
planes, which did not help them at all in the streets of Paris and its rotten alleys, and this
attack is the first of the storm and a warning to
those who wish to learn." The statements did not
provide the nationalities or other information
about the attackers. French President had earlier blamed the attacks on
the Islamic State group and vowed to strike back.
A series of unprecedented attacks on popular night spots killed more than 100 people in the deadliest violence to strike France since World War II, officials said. President Francois Hollande condemned it as a terrorist attack and
pledged that France would stand firm against its foes. The worst carnage was at a concert hall hosting an American rock band, where scores of people
were held hostage and attackers hurled explosives at their captives. Police who stormed the building, killing three attackers, encountered a bloody scene of horror inside.
One official described "carnage" inside the building, saying the attackers had tossed explosives at the hostages. The Paris police prefect said the attackers at the rock venue blew themselves up with suicide belts as police closed in. He said the gunmen first sprayed cafes outside the venue with machine gunfire, then went inside the concert hall and killed more before the assault by security forces. The prefect, Michel Cadot, said the one set of attackers was at the stadium and at nearly the same time the second group attacked within the city. Cadot said all the attackers are believed dead,
although authorities are hunting for any possible accomplices. In addition to the deaths at the concert hall, a
police official said 11 people were killed in a Paris restaurant in the 10th arrondissement and other officials said at least three people died when bombs went off outside a stadium north of Paris. Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said in all, five attackers may have been killed across the city. He feared the overall death toll could top 120. The Paris police prefecture told residents to remain home and avoid going out unless
absolutely necessary. There was no immediate claim of responsibility
for the attacks, and no clear picture of how many attackers were involved and if any were on the run. Jihadists on Twitter immediately praised the attack and criticized France's military operations
against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) extremists. Hollande, who had to be evacuated from the stadium when the bombs went off outside, said in a televised address that the nation would stand firm and united.
"This is a terrible ordeal that again assails us," he said. "We know where it comes from, who these criminals are, who these terrorists are." Hollande declared a state of emergency and
mobilized the military. Under French law, the state of emergency can be decided in the event of "imminent danger
following serious breaches of law and order." The state of emergency allows state authorities to forbid the movement of persons and vehicles at specific times and places. They can also define
protected areas and safety areas where the movement of persons is controlled. The order also allows police to perform house searches day and night - instead of performing them only at daylight. The attacks come as France has heightened
security measures ahead of a major global climate conference that starts in two weeks, out of fear of violent protests and potential terrorist attacks. Earlier Friday, two explosions were heard outside the Stade de France stadium north of Paris during a France-Germany friendly football match. A police union official said there were two suicide attacks and a bombing that killed at least
three people. The official, Gregory Goupil of the Alliance Police Nationale, whose region includes the area of the
stadium, said explosions went off simultaneously near two entrances and a McDonalds. An AP reporter in the stadium Friday night heard two explosions loud enough to penetrate
the sounds of cheering fans. Sirens were
immediately heard, and a helicopter was circling overhead. Emilioi Macchio, from Ravenna, Italy, was at the
Carillon bar near the restaurant that was
targeted, having a beer on the sidewalk when the shooting started. He said he didn't see any gunmen or victims, but hid behind a corner then
ran away. "It sounded like fireworks," he said. A woman who said she was at the restaurant told France 24 television that diners fell to the floor
when gunshots were directed at the restaurant's window. She told France 24 that a woman lying next to her had a fatal injury. Management for the rock band Eagles of Death Metal, who were scheduled to perform Friday at the Bataclan concert hall, said they were "trying to determine the safety and whereabouts" of the band and its crew. The American band, formed in 1998 in Palm Desert, California, was celebrating the October release of "Zipper Metal" with a European tour. At the White House, President Obama called the attacks an "outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians." A senior U.S. law enforcement official told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton
the FBI has offered whatever help is needed to France. The FBI was meeting with French law enforcement late Friday. A Department of Homeland Security official told CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues that DHS was closely monitoring the unfolding events in
Paris and "we remain in contact with our
counterparts in the region." At this time, the DHS official said, there was no
specific or credible threat to the United States. The official went on to say that "DHS will adjust our security posture, as appropriate, to protect
the American people" and coordinate with state, local, federal and international law enforcement and intelligence partners. A New York police official said that the NYPD is
stepping up security at all high profile locations in New York City as a precaution. The NYPD official said there is no current specific threats the decision to beef up security is out of precaution. France has been on edge since January, when Islamic extremists attacked the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which had run cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, and a kosher grocery. Twenty people died, including
the three attackers. The Charlie Hebdo attackers claimed links to extremists in Yemen, while the kosher market attacker claimed ties to ISIS. This time, they targeted young people enjoying a
rock concert and ordinary city residents enjoying a Friday night out. One of at least two restaurants targeted Friday,
Le Carillon, is in the same general neighborhood as the Charlie Hebdo offices, as is the Bataclan, among the best-known venues in eastern Paris,
near the trendy Oberkampf area known for a vibrant nightlife. The country has seen several smaller-scale
attacks or attempts since, including an incident on a high-speed train in August in which American travelers thwarted an attempted attack by a heavily armed man. France's military is bombing ISIS targets in Syria and Iraq and fighting extremists in Africa, and
extremist groups have frequently threatened France in the past. French authorities are particularly concerned
about the threat from hundreds of French
Islamic radicals who have travelled to Syria and returned home with skills to stage violence. Though who was responsible for Friday night's
violence remained a mystery, ISIS is "clearly the name at the top of everyone's list," Brian Michael
Jenkins, a terrorism expert and senior adviser to the president of RAND Corp., said. Jenkins said the tactic used - "multiple attackers
in coordinated attacks at multiple locations" -- echoed recommendations published in extremist group's online magazine, Dabbiq, over the
summer. "The big question on everyone's mind is, were these attackers, if they turn out to be connected to one of the groups in Syria, were they homegrown terrorists or were they returning fighters from having served" with ISIS, Jenkins
