Raids as France steels for more attacks

French President Francois Hollande has attended a gathering at Sorbonne University, in memory of the victims of Friday’s attacks in Paris. Salah Abdeslam is the brother of Ibrahim Adeslam, who is believed to have blown himself up during the siege at the Bataclan.

He said countries bordering Syria such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan “are already bearing an extraordinary burden” from the flow of refugees and “cannot be expected to do so alone”.

Before driving off, a grinning Abaaoud tells the camera: “Before we towed jet skis, motorcycles, quad bikes, big trailers filled with gifts for vacation in Morocco. Now, thank God, following God’s path, we’re towing apostates”.

Heightened security measures also led to two Air France flights being diverted earlier on Tuesday as well as a friendly soccer match between Germany and the Netherlands in Hanover being called off last night amid a bomb scare.

He continued, “It was only after the Paris attacks that the Turkish authorities received an information request about Ismael Omar Mostefai from France”. At least 50 French soldiers were also deployed to the scene.

“We would see a repetition of what we’ve seen before, which is if you do not have local populations that are committed” to helping combat extremism, Obama said, the terrorists “resurface, unless we are prepared to have a permanent occupation of these countries”.

Witnesses said the second vehicle, a black Seat, was used by the gunmen who shot dozens of people in bars and restaurants in the hip Canal St Martin area of Paris.

Republican critics have offered few concrete alternatives, he said, with the exceptions of sending in ground forces or establishing no-fly zones, moves that open up a “whole set of questions that have to be answered”. He said Mostefai often attending with his father, but said there was no sign of fanaticism.

Guy van Vlierden, a Belgian terrorism expert, said Hadfi is thought to have fought in Syria, where he went by the names Abu Moudjahid Al-Belgiki and Bilal Al Mouhajir. The holder of the passport passed through the Greek island of Leros on October 3 and the Serbian border town of Presovo on October 7, according to Greek and Serbian officials.

He violated his judicial supervision in 2013, prompting judges to issue an global arrest warrant.

It’s not clear whether Amimour left France or if and how he returned. The statement says three members of his family have since been arrested.

The Paris attacks have galvanized global determination to confront the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq, bringing France, Russian Federation and the United States closer to an alliance. The document describes Al-Mohammad as a 25-year-old from the rebel-held Syrian city Idlib. From then on, authorities didn’t track him.

The 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001 followed the classical terrorist strategy of trying to trick the target government into over-reacting in ways that ultimately serve the terrorists’ interests.

Officials were not immediately available for comment. It was the third vehicle identified as having possible links to the investigation.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that 23 people had been arrested – while 104 others remained for questioning – over a 48-hour period.

Police have named Brussels-born Salah Abdeslam, 26, as a “dangerous” and key suspect, after it emerged that French police have unwittingly let him slip through their fingers. Police have warned the public not approach him if he is recognized. “Above all do not intervene yourself”, the alert said.

Abdeslam was reportedly arrested at around 5pm on Saturday in the Molenbeek-Saint-Jean district of Brussels on suspicion of being connected to the attacks. “Terrorists will never destroy the Republic, because the Republic will destroy them”.
