Paris shooting suspect's wife 'arrived in Syria from Turkey'

The common-law wife of one of the perpetrators of last week’s terrorist rampage in France crossed into Syria from Turkey on January 8, Turkey’s foreign minister said today.

Mevlut Cavusoglu told the state-run Anadolu news agency that Hayat Boumedienne arrived in Turkey from Madrid on January 2, ahead of the attacks, and stayed at a hotel in Istanbul.

He said Turkish authorities established that she had crossed into Syria on Thursday, the day her husband shot a policewoman dead on the outskirts of Paris and a day after the massacre at satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Meanshile, French security forces are mobilising in their search for what the prime minister called a “probable” accomplice to three days of bloodshed and terror around the capital.

Manuel Valls said the search is urgent because “the threat is still present” after the attacks that left 17 people dead – journalists at Charlie Hebdo, hostages at a kosher supermarket and three police officers. All three attackers died in nearly simultaneous raids by security forces on Friday.

Video emerged yesterday of one of the assailants explaining how the attacks would unfold and police want to find the person who filmed and posted the video.

Mr Valls told BFM television today that France is at war against “terrorism, against jihadism, against radical Islam”.

Jihad terror groupies from UK lining up to marry jihad fighters in Syria

This is no surprise. These women are taught that jihad fighters deserve respect and gratitude, as they are engaged in a noble and praiseworthy endeavor. They see the British government bending over backwards to appease Islamic supremacist groups, which only reinforces impressions of British society’s weakness and the strength of Islam. They certainly don’t see any non-Muslims in Britain embodying any courage or fortitude, or any commitment to any great cause. Why shouldn’t they find these men admirable?

“The British female terror groupies queuing up to marry jihad fighters in Syria,” by Ted Thornhill and Rebecca Camber for the Daily Mail, February 17:

An increasing number of British women are travelling to war-torn Syria to marry jihadists from the UK, with some seeing them as leading a ‘perfect life’.

Many are thought to be marrying jihadists on the internet, as strict Islamic code forbids unmarried women to travel alone, according to researchers at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King’s College, London.

Exact numbers are difficult to pinpoint, but the research centre believes that dozens of British women have married English-speaking jihadists – or are trying to – according to chatter that it monitors on forums.

It knows of two women from Portsmouth, one from London and one from Surrey who definitely have married English-speaking men fighting for opposition forces.

It said that one is a convert and that two were married prior to departure, with the other two marrying on arrival in Syria.

Women from other countries have also gone to Syria to be with jihadists – two from France, who both married jihadists before they left for the war, one from Sweden, one from Serbia, one from the Philippines and one from Germany.

What gives away the women’s intentions are the questions they pose to the fighters….

One woman asked British jihadist Abu Abdullah al-Britani: ‘How can a sister ask you for marriage? What are your standards? Are you interested after asking Allah, of course.’

Charles Lister, from the Brookings Institute, said that many women view jihadists in Syria as living the ‘perfect life’.

The revelation follows the court appearance in January of Nawal Msaad, 26, a student accused of trying to smuggle £16,000 in her underwear to terrorists fighting in Syria.

Nawal Msaad, 26, and her alleged co-conspirator Amal Elwahabi, 27, are the first British women charged with terror offences over the conflict.

Msaad, an undergraduate from Holloway, North London, was arrested at Heathrow as she prepared to board a flight to Istanbul with 20,000 euros wrapped in cling film in her knickers.

Hours later, police swooped on Elwahabi, who stands jointly accused of being part of an arrangement in which money was made available for the purposes of terrorism.

The court heard that the two Britons attempted to send the bundle of rolled-up notes to a suspected British jihadist fighting in Syria’s civil war.

The head of the Counter Terrorism Command, Richard Walton, said several teenagers had been enticed to join jihadists fighting in the war-torn country, as he warned that the conflict posed a growing threat to national security.

Earlier in January, two 17-year-old girls from London and West Yorkshire were held at Heathrow as they were boarding a flight to Istanbul. Officers spent five days quizzing the girls before releasing them without charge. But Mr Walton said that other ‘boys and girls’ were being lured to join rebel forces fighting in Syria.

He said the numbers of Syria-related terror arrests had soared, with 14 in the first three weeks of this year – more than half the total for the whole of 2013.

He said: ‘We’ve had a number of teenagers both from London and nationally who’ve been attempting to go to Syria. That’s boys and girls, unfortunately.

‘It’s not just the odd one. It’s shocking that they are such young people.’

McCain Rips Candy Crowley's Ludicrous Claim That U.S. Could Make War in Syria Worse

Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley on Sunday morning, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) criticized the administration for allowing the Syrian civil war to expand across its borders and for letting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad reassert control over that country. McCain dismissed Crowley’s suggestion that any U.S. involvement in that country’s current conflict could make it any worse than it is already.

Crowley said to McCain that there were humanitarian crises going on all over the world, but figures in the U.S. seem more concerned with involving themselves in the Syrian crisis more than in other countries.

“You say is what is worse than doing nothing? Maybe doing harm,” Crowley said. “Do you entertain the possibility that some harm could happen if we increase more harm could happen if we increased it? Help. Military aid.”

RELATED: Jon Karl to Jay Carney: When Can We Admit Obama’s Syria Policy an ‘Absolute Failure?’

“Candy, with all due respect, that’s ludicrous,” McCain replied. He said the U.S. is providing aid to areas in conflict in Africa, but that the U.S. has a clear strategic interest in not allowing the region to grow more unstable. He added that the U.S. could be drawn into a worse conflict if this now is allowed to go unaddressed.

“The second battle of Fallujah, we lost 96 marines and soldiers, 600 wounded, and now the black flags of Al Qaeda are flying over Fallujah,” McCain concluded. “Disgraceful.”

UK: Muslims returning from Syria plotted Mumbai-style jihad mass murder attack in London

250 jihad warriors from Syria have already returned home and are plotting jihad mass murder attacks. No one, apparently, thought of keeping them out of the country; that honor the British reserve only for foes of jihad. In the coming months and years the British will reap the fruits of their craven appeasement of Islamic supremacist groups, and refusal to confront the bitter reality of the alignment of the many of the so-called “moderate” groups that the British government encourages and funds with Islamic jihad terror groups.

“Hundreds of British jihadis returning from fight in Syria spark terror alert after police and MI5 thwart Mumbai-style attack on London,” by Amanda Williams in the Daily Mail, February 16:

Hundreds of British jihadis have returned from fighting in Syria, sparking a terror alert in Britain.

Senior security officials have said that around 250 British based ‘extremist tourists’ have returned home, and are now suspected of wanting to carry out attacks here.

The figure is five times higher than previously thought and includes several ‘veterans’ who have fought in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

MI5 and police have already intercepted an alleged serious plot by jihadis returning from the war torn region last Autumn.

They were said to be planning a Mumbai-style gun attack on civilians in a crowded place, possibly London.

The returnees are now being monitored by the security services, The Sunday Times reports.

A senior Whitehall security official told paper: ‘Well over half of those who travelled out have come back.’

Last week it was announced that extremist videos which help to radicalise impressionable young men are to be blocked from the internet in the UK.

The Home Office is in talks with web companies to refuse access to violent films hosted overseas ‘at a network level’, MailOnline can reveal.

The plans for what will effectively be ‘cyber border controls’ have been drawn up by James Brokenshire, promoted to immigration minister at the weekend.

Ministers were spurred into action by the growing threat from jihadists in Syria.

Around 2,000 Europeans are thought to be fighting in Syria, including at least 200 known to the British security services.

It is feared that fighters returning to the UK will seek to radicalise young men in particular to launch terror attacks at home and abroad.

Anti-terror police and the Crown Prosecution Service can currently demand that vile videos posted on UK websites be removed.

Since February 2010, the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) has taken down more than 21,000 pieces of illegal terrorist online content.

If the CTIRU and prosecutors deem material to be illegal it can be blocked from parts of the public sector, including schools and hospitals but this does not extend to domestic users and filters can be turned off.

Last week, video footage capturing the final moments of a British suicide bomber’s life was released by a terrorist group in Syria.

The clip, recorded by the al-Qaeda-aligned group Jabhat al-Nusra, shows Abdul Waheed Majeed relaxing and smiling moments before he carried out the suicide attack, the first by a Briton.

In the ‘martydom’ video, the 41-year-old is seen wearing white Muslim robe while posing for photos with fellow soldiers and pointing up to the sky.

Married father of three Majeed is suspected of driving a lorry into a jail in Aleppo and detonating a bomb last week.

Officials have not confirmed the identity of the bomber amid reports that a UK jihadi, who used the name Abu Suleiman al-Britani, carried out the bombing.

Counter-terrorism officers have searched Majeed’s home in Crawley which is also the ex-home of schoolgirl Sarah Payne’s killer Roy Whiting, according to neighbours.

Majeed, known as Waheed, left Britain six months ago, telling his family he was going on a humanitarian mission to Syria.

UK Muslims killed in Syria lived secular lives, then grew more religious and went off to wage jihad

Here yet again we see Muslims who were not particularly religious and living relatively ordinary lives growing more religious and then turning to jihad. Yet religion is the one aspect of their motivation that British authorities, like their American counterparts, have forbidden themselves to examine.
“What drove a British estate agent and his maths tutor brother to die as jihadists? How seemingly decent young men are living terrifying doubles lives,” by David Jones in the Daily Mail, February 5:
When the father of Mohamed and Akram Sebah told his neighbours last September that his sons had died in a car crash while visiting America, a wave of grief swept through the North London square.
Many residents of this close-knit community in Holloway attended a wake at the family’s elegant, three-storey townhouse and later joined a procession to the nearby mosque.
They had greatly admired the brothers, and not only because they were unfailingly cheerful, helpful and polite.
Having gained impressive qualifications and forged successful careers, even though their parents had arrived here as refugees from strife-torn Eritrea in East Africa, they were inspirational young men who seemed to epitomise the British immigrant dream.
To fully grasp their status among neighbours in Cornwallis Square, particularly among the younger people for whom they were role models, I should briefly explain its social make-up.

Four-year-old jihadi in Syria declares: Infidels, we will slaughter you

Not to worry. Ahmed Rehab, Reza Aslan, the imam Rauf, Qasim Rashid the whole lot of deceivers and dissemblers are jetting over to Damascus as we speak in order to explain to this charming tyke that he is getting Islam all wrong, wrong, wrong.
Note that the child is from Uzbekistan. Apparently he was brought all the way to Syria by his father in order to give him training in slaughtering Infidels.
“Four-Year-Old ‘Mujahid’ in Syria Vows to Slaughter Infidels,” from MEMRI, n.d.:
A video, posted on the Internet on January 21, 2014, features a four-year-old child shooting an AK-47. When the boy, who says that he is with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, is asked what he would like to say to the infidels, he says: “Oh infidels, we will slaughter you.”
Following are excerpts from the video:
Man: Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. God bless you. Abu Bakr, the Islamic State…
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: …in Iraq and the Levant.
