Mera om terrortåget Amsterdam-Paris

 

 

 

Fortsättning från igår 

 

Idag blev attentatsmannen officiellt identifierad som

Ayoub el-Kazzani, 26 år , marockansk medborgare.
Han har varit bosatt i Algeciras i Spanien, där han

övervakats av säkerhetstjänsten p g a sina 

islamistiska kontakter.

Flyttat över till Frankrike och därifrån gjort jihad

till Syrien.

Ganska snabbt återkommen därifrån ska hans namn

ha figurerat i den jihadistliga med "återvändare",

som belgiska polisen sprängde i vintras.

 

Han tycks utvisa alla de numera klassiska

symptomen:

Islamiserad i en salafistmoské i Europa.

Förbindelser till Kalifatets rekryterare.

En kort turné i Kalifatet, där han övertalats att istället

begå jihad i Europa. Med sin spanska legitimation

har han kunnat åka kors och tvärs i Europa.

Uppenbarligen med ett stort kontaktnät

av "återvändare".

 

Själv känner jag väl mest:

vilken tur att han inte slog till mot ett snälltåg i Norden...

THE CRAZED gunman who opened fire on a train full of people

has been formally identified as Ayoub el-Khazzani.

A Spanish intelligence source has also said he was being

 watched by counter-terror forces in the country because

he travelled to war-torn Syria and was believed to

have links to ISIS.

 

The French government confirmed the gunman was a

26-year-old Moroccan man who was known to Spanish

intelligence services as a possible radical Islamist.

The counter-terror source said he lived in the Spanish port

of Algeciras for around a year.

He added: "In 2014 he went to France, then to Syria, and

then he returned to France."

 

Khazzani started shooting at people with an AK-47 on a

packed train travelling from Amsterdam to Paris via Belgium.

He was tackled by two US servicemen, a student and a

Brit IT worker, who managed to subdue him until he was

arrested in the north of France.

The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said Khazzani moved to Belgium in 2015. It is believed he boarded the train at Brussels station.



He said: "He was flagged up by Spanish security services

 in 2014 because of his involvement with the radical

Islamist movement."

The gunman reportedly had extremist ties in both Algeciras

and in Belgium.

 

Sources told French local news site La Voix du Nord that

Khazzani was part of the jihadi group targeted by an

anti-terror raid in Verviers, eastern Belgium, in January.

He reportedly denies a terrorist motive.

Brit passenger Chris Norman, 62, is being hailed as a

hero for jumping the gunman, along with US airman

Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos from the Oregon National

 Guard, and their friend Anthony Sadler.
