Greece names man whose Syrian passport was found after Paris attacks
“Greece and Europe must keep a very fine balance between security and human rights”, he said. We are not afraid because we are not doing this one (Paris attack), because Muslim people don’t do this one.
Ahmed Almuhamed, 25, is purported to be one of the suicide bombers at the Bataclan concert hall, where 100 were taken hostage and 89 killed. “For those who want to blame the attacks on Paris on refugees, you might want to get your facts straight”.
Analysts said perpetrators include European radicalised citizens, who were hard to be detected by security forces under the shelter of European families and networks.
Witold Waszczykowski, who was sworn into office Monday along with the new Polish government, said in an interview with Poland’s TVP television that the migrants could be gainfully employed as soldiers, accusing them of now spending their time in Berlin cafes sipping coffee. “Others just go to Europe to be ready”, the unidentified Turkish smuggler said. French President Francois Hollande was among more than 80,000 people there to watch France play Germany in a friendly football match at the stadium. Police have identified another suicide bomber at Bataclan: French native Omar Ismail Mostefai, 29. Germany, which has accepted the largest number of migrants and is the destination of choice for many of them, is crucial to any solution to the crisis. According to the Bavarian governor Horst Seehofer “there are reasonable grounds to assume that there may be a link to the matter”.
The holder of a Syrian passport found near the body of one of the gunmen who died in Friday night’s attacks in Paris was registered as a refugee in several European countries last month, authorities said.
The passport’s owner travelled by boat from Turkey to the Greek island of Leros in early October.
The fingerprint on the passport was not in the French database, the senator said, and therefore officials believe he was among a group of refugees and migrants.
“That’s silly, really silly”, he says, suggesting that the passport was either fake or had been planted “because they hate refugees…so many people hate Syrians”.
“Information has been obtained from Iraqi intelligence sources that the countries to be targeted soon, before it occurred, are Europe in general, specifically France, as well as America and Iran”, Reuters quoted Jaafari as saying on the sidelines of a major conference in Vienna meant to address the issue of Syria.
Leading the charge is Poland’s incoming European Affairs Minister Konrad Szymanski, who wrote on Saturday that his administration plans to pull out of an agreement to assist in relocating 160,000 immigrants throughout the European Union’s 28 member states, according to news reports.
Greece’s junior minister for migration Yiannis Mouzalas admitted in September that it would be “foolish” to completely discount the possibility of jihadists sneaking into Europe among the refugee wave.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s most senior Bavarian ally rushed to her defence in an escalating row over her refugee policy, saying his finance minister’s reaction to the attacks in Paris was “totally inappropriate”.
