ISIS Splinter Group "Caliphate Soldiers" Beheads French Hostage In Algeria

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A new armed group in Algeria calling itself the "Caliphate Soldiers"  - a re-splinter from Al-Qaeda splinter group ISIS - has, according to AP, beheaded a Frenchman abducted in Algeria in a video posted online on Wednesday, after giving a 24-hour deadline to Paris. Herve Gourdel, a 55-year-old hiker from the southern French city of Nice, was kidnapped on Sunday by Jund al-Khilifa, which demanded France stop its air strikes against IS in Iraq.

 

 

The initial threat video sent 24 hours ago...

Masked men seen in the new video give the French government 24 hours to stop its offensive against ISIL, otherwise Gourdel “will be beheaded”.

The French foreign ministry has confirmed the video’s authenticity.

 

“We confirm the authenticity of the video showing images of French hostage Hervé Gourdel, kidnapped in Algeria in the region of Tizi Ouzou on Sunday (September 21). The threats made by this terrorist group show once again the extreme cruelty of Daech (Islamic State/ISIL) and those who say they are affiliated to it,” the ministry said in a statement.

And now, as SITE reports...

Reuters has some color on this new terrorist group,

A breakaway of key Algerian commanders from Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, known as AQIM, would show deepening rivalry between al Qaeda's core command and the Islamic State over leadership of the transnational Islamist militancy.

 

The newly created "Caliphate Soldiers" or "Jound al Khilafa fi Ard al Jazayer" is the second group to break with AQIM, the first one being Mokhtar Belmokhtar's group "Those who sign in Blood" who observers say are likely based now in southern Libya.

 

"The new group will try hard to make some noise, but it will be very difficult to execute big terrorist actions as Algerian security forces have knocked out most of the armed groups in Algeria," local security analyst Anis Rahmani said.

Who are Jund al-Khilafa? (via BBC)

  • Previously part of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which grew out of Algerian Islamist groups involved in 1990s civil war
  • Carried out numerous attacks in Kabylie region - in April, ambushed an army convoy, leaving 11 soldiers dead
  • Many residents fled the region's forests and mountains in recent years due to insecurity
  • Group said to be led by Abdelmalek Gouri, known as Khaled Abou Slimane, 37
  • 14 September, pledged allegiance to Islamic State

Errr, so we're gonna bomb Algeria now, right?  Hey, apparently the cops caught some "would-be beheaders" in Sydney too so I'm guessing you're gonna bomb Sydney now.  Can you dump a few on Canberra on your way through?  Just to be sure - could save you some time later on.

We can see where this is going. Growth industry in beheading videos and new names for Al Qaeda and pretty soon every country on earth is being bombed for housing terrorists.

Govt bans all video machines on the grounds that you might be a terrorist.

"You wanna secede?  Sure, first just let me bomb all the terrorists in your state and then I'll let you go.  I have his video here ..."

Keyser:  Yeah, almost, but you got it backwards.  Every time ( the people who control ) the Yanks want to bomb a foreign* country, a video will magically appear, along with a shiny new nameplate that says something that also means "Al Qaeda".

(* Did I say "foreign"?  Now we have "home-grown terrrrists" expect to see a bombing campaign in a city near you!)

At this stage I fully expect the terrrrists to take over at least half the world.  One of the "benefits" of this strategy will be huge flocks of sheep wandering arounds saying, "Oh, no.  We have to do what we're told because we're dictated to by terrorrists.  I really wish we had a democracy, then we could vote them out in four years time..."

@Dr. Engali

Again ...

All this ugly disdain and nasty jokes come from the firm refusal of the French to join America in Irak, in 2003.

Since France refused to go to Iraq, American warmongers and neo-cons made French army look like cowards – as a punishment.

But History has proved the French were right, and that the WMD were only a dirty trick to serve as a pretext.

Nevertheless, the hate of American warmongers against France remains still there, well alive, even in ZH.

This stale hate still shows through "innocent good jokes" about the “surrender monkeys” and their white flags

As for the rest, the French can be proud of their Military History:

According to the British historian Niall Ferguson, since 387 BC, France has fought 168 major wars against such badasses as the Roman Empire, the British Army and the Turkish forces. Their track record isn't too shabby, either: They've won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10 times.

This makes France the most successful military power in European history - in terms of number of fought and won … The French have succeeded to conquer and guard the largest country in Europe.

Herve Gourdel, a 55-year-old hiker from the southern French city of Nice, was kidnapped on Sunday by Jund al-Khilifa.

Really, he went to Algeria to hike? That is like going to Liberia to get a blood transfusion.

Guess Herve was living in a bubble.  Gotta wonder whether he had a clue about world events.  Hell, it's stupid to go hiking alone in American mountains if only for safety's sake.  True idiot.  Darwin award contestant.

My point was that we're all floating around trying to make sense of this incredible life and this incredible time. Our French brother happened to float his way to Algeria, seeking beauty and fufillment. Yes there are safer places to find those things, but on a long enough timeline, you will find your only safety is in danger.

You have to be pretty goddamned thick to be French and from Nice and not have already made all the "sense" that can be made out of Algeria and its indigenous bipeds.   France has a long and awful history and very current hangovers from its Algerian follies, stacked up in welfare housing blocks all around the Nice area.

French Liberals, and they are liberals if they are French, continue to exhibit a failure for self-preservation. The last thirty years of ¨everyone is just like us¨ had a culture-threatening influx of muslims into France, where they are known for the violence they bring. Odd isn't it? Never has been a situation in history where everyone lived in ¨peace and harmony.¨ Always, there must be a dominanat force and as we see happening here in the US, you give an inch: Mexicans, Asians, African Americans, whatever...they seek to become dominant and then there is NOT such a thing as ¨sharing¨ and ¨compassion.¨ Only take what you can get, take it all, and take it now.

By the way, anyone notice that Oboma hasn't called on Jesse Matthew, who is ¨known¨ as the last person to see college student Hanah Graham, to come out of hiding from wherever he is? Anyone notice that Oboma hasnt called the teacher raped:

Student 'raped teacher at high school after he body-slammed her and choked her until she passed out'
  • Victor Marshall Nash, 18, was arrested on charges of attempted murder, sexual battery, robbery and grand theft

No no no, he only steps in when the person he perceives an ¨injustice¨ against a black person.

gotta wonder what are your "clues about world events" &where they are coming from.

 

lemme teach you something : if you want a clue, switching on the TV or youtube DOES NOT DO IT.

 

i you want a clue, you'll have to move your scared & fat ass & go see the world & meet its people with your own eyes

then we'll talk, in the mean time, stop pushing the zionist propaganda by believing everything out of their prpaganda outlets.

I was wondering when some kind of ISIS-Algeria would pop up.  Look at a map of Africa, showing resource deposits.  If you want to get Nigerian oil to Europe via pipeline, you need control (or, in terms of the Kissinger/Brzezinski/Wolfowitz strategy driving US foreign policy these past 50 years, the Chaos from which comes Order) over Libya and Algeria.  Check and Check.  And those nations make handy bases from which to extend "Muslim Terror" to Mali, Chad, Nigeria, and the rest of the region, which contain many strategic resources and across which those resources need to be transported.  See "Darfur," Sudan, Somalia, etc. also.  One of the "-stan" countries of Central Asia will see some "Muslim" insurgency, or maybe someplace near the Straits of Malacca.

Why Israel Lies

I saw small boys baited and killed by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza refugee camp of Khan Younis. The soldiers swore at the boys in Arabic over the loudspeakers of their armored jeep. The boys, about 10 years old, then threw stones at an Israeli vehicle and the soldiers opened fire, killing some, wounding others.

This has nothing to do with pacifism. It's basic common sense. For someone who writes about Harry Reid's corruption, you shouldn't be so compartmentalized.

Oh, and Chamberlain was part of the Dialectic too, whether he knew it or not.
