France Update: Explosion Near Mosque, Policeman Shot In Paris, Countrywide Manhunt For Suspects

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following yesterday's shocking murder of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, there has been much confusion and many rapidly moving parts in the hours that followed as authorities try to catch the two remaining killers, the 32 and 34-year old Kouachi brothers, after earlier the youngest of three French suspects turned himself in to police after, as BFM TV reported, he saw his in social media. The arrest was confirmed by an official at the Paris prosecutor's office said. Several people linked to two other suspected attackers were also in custody, the news agency AFP reported. The manhunt for the two remaining suspects goes on.

 

Indicative of the confusion and false information is the following report from NBC Nightly News which turned out to be fake:

How did the rumor spread to the very top of the food chain? From NBC: "Earlier Wednesday, two senior U.S. counterterrorism officials told NBC News that one of the suspects in the attack had been killed and that two others were in custody. However, the officials later said the information that was the basis of that account could not be confirmed."

What we do know about the two remaining suspects as the countrywide manhunt deepens is that they were said to have robbed a service station in the north of France. According to BBC, they stole food and petrol, firing shots as they struck at the roadside stop near Villers-Cotterets in the Aisne region, French media report.

According to the manager of the service station that was robbed on the RN2 road in Aisne at about 10:30 (09:30 GMT), the attackers fit the description of the two men, and were heavily armed with Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

Earlier in the day, a policewoman was killed in a shootout in southern Paris on Thursday, triggering searches in the area as the manhunt widened, Reuters reports.

Police sources could not immediately confirm a link with the killings at Charlie Hebdo. Montrouge mayor Pierre Brossollette said the policewoman and a colleague went to the site to deal with a traffic accident. A car stopped and a man got out and shot at them before fleeing.

Witnesses said the shooter fled in a Renault Clio car. Police sources said he had been wearing a bullet-proof vest and had a handgun and assault rifle. However, one police officer at the scene told Reuters the man did not appear to fit the bill of the Charlie Hebdo shooters.

Live French television showed around a dozen police dressed in protective wear and helmets massed outside a building near the scene of the shoot-out. A second person was seriously injured in the attack in the suburb of Montrouge, after which the gunman fled.

Finally, a backlash in France may be forming when as Reuters also reported, an explosion rocked a kebab shop next to a mosque in Villefrance-sur-Saone in eastern France early on Thursday morning, a police source told Reuters.

"The window was blow out by an explosion in the night. The kebab shop was adjacent to a mosque," the source said, adding it appeared to be a criminal act. French media reports said there were no wounded.

While we follow the latest updates and ongoing developments in the most deadly militant attack on French soil in decades, we remind readers of what we observed was the common theme in the most popular Zero Hedge articles of 2014: "civil unrest." In that regard one can note that 2015 is so far nothing but a very bad, and unfortunately deadly, continuation of last year.

If it is not the act of a couples of nutjobs, it is more than than a false flag.

Flase flag more often then not aim only at "commoners" or your average joe, here they aimed both a press group and public personality.

(IF again) It sends a clear message to the people in charge, we will stop at nothing to reach ours goals and your rank within the society is not a protection.

 

Now it can be nutjob but the whole turn of event (with the crazy fast invvestigation) smells sadly like something else...

 

2015... I read a comment somewhere from someone I know and who is really high society, on a completely different topic he stated that he knew that in 2015 things would change etc... I think either I've turned into a nutjob (possible :(  ) or he let slip something accidentally that luckily only nutjobs could notice and we know how credible we, nutjobs, are...

It is only started, get a drink and cool down y'ol. That's going to be one hell of a year :)

I know few believe that the French are fucking badasses, but they have an elite CT force that is just that.  Le Pen would be the perfect catalyst for a total anarchy.  The dirt bag Algerian's caused their own economic situation by running to France's doorstep in the 60's pleading for mercy and then REFUSING to assimilate.  If you accept a passport of a new country you must embrace THEIR customs.  Fucking muslims.  I'm ready to push the button.  I don't believe any of them are peaceful. I hate to be racist, but I am.

Ahmed Merabet was a 42-year old policeman working with a bicycle unit at the local police station who was on patrol when he was shot in cold blood by two of the gunmen as they left the building. In a video which has now been removed from the Internet, one of the attackers can be seen shooting Merabet in the head as he pleads for his life on the ground after being wounded. Merabet, a Muslim, leaves behind a partner, according to the police union.

AUD, read your history.  The French allowed NO muslims French citizenship in Algeria.  A requirement to become a Pied-Noir was to renounce your muslim beliefs.  Hence, the fucking terrorist muslim came AFTER independence in the 1960's when France felt obligated to help the fucking crazy parasites.  The Berber's are on the 2nd-3rd generation of welfare in France,  sound familiar?

I'm all for a game of "remove kebab" here in North America.  Muslims are Muslims first.  They don't assimilate into any culture they immigrate to.  And, they are notoriously shitty fighters.  The only videos I've seen where "Muslims" use their front sights have been pro-Assad, or pro-Baathist  (each of those owe allegiance to their party first, and are widely reviled by Muslims).  The rest shoot by Inshallah.  Lets get this party started.  I'm ready, are you?

ORI,

Your linked images were about as anti-Muslim as any I've seen mate.

People are not responsible for other people's behavior, they can't control others, they can just control their own (with varying success). They may suggest to others to do certain things, a certain way, but they usually will only do that if money, or safety, or education, or sex, etc., may be involved.

i.e. You can't actually control people without using violence, you can only offer inducements and things in their own interests.

If Islam is control via violence (what your image suggests), and our 'freedom' to be, and to live as we feel is right or proper and acceptable for us, and being free from such violent people who would demand control of us, is achieved via force, including deadly force applied by the bushel, then that's going to be what is done.

The West is not going to accept any intransigent Islamic clowns demanding, with violence, that we do what they say - that is never going to happen. If they won't take a firm direct no for an answer, and they use violence against us, then we will drop bombs on them until they give it a miss.

Not really adequate, but there it is. They stop the control-freak thing, or they die, and everything they need to live will be destroyed or else systematically removed.

Is that Anti-Islam, or Pro Freedom?

It doesn't really matter, does it? But all these ISIL fools are not going to be with us, is all.

What Islam does to put an end to that idiotic violent behavior, at that point, is up to Islam to reform itself, root and branch. Christianity already dealt with violent Christian fundamentalism.

We have no time for either - NIL.

i.e. it's exactly the same situation from them too, so it is not anti-Islam, is it?

So don't ever expect a different response from the vast majority of Europe, or Russia, or China, or Japan, or most of the Americas, or Australia, or most of India, in fact.

It isn't everyone else that has the chip on their shoulder. The truth is Islam is a deeply immature maladjusted unbalanced religion and the cultures which it dominates seem particularly immature and deeply-disturbed and terribly flawed.

Sorry, but we didn't make it that way, and we accept no blame whatsoever for that chip on the shoulder that so many ME Muslims. Note that most Muslims in other parts of the world are generally nowhere near as medieval-minded, nor violent.

Because they're within cultures that absolutely will not ever permit them to just get away with inflicting nasty crap on others, against their will.

 

Deal with it.

3 guys, 2 supposedly trained and connected to Al quaida Iraq, they go out for killing with an ID... and forgot it in a car... lulz...

The third one 18 years old, really likely to be in his high school at the time of event...

 

=> manhunt and there won't be trial be assured of that, a trial could be problematic.

I wondered that also, but I suppose if the bullet hit the spine area or facial area, there would be little blood. However, if the bullet entered the cranium there would absolutely be lots of blood. The vid is rather useless to determine where the bullet actually struck the poor soul, other than it appears to be above the shoulders.

Why do people keep saying this?  Are you not aware there is a switch on the side of an AK that controls auto vs semi fire?  Why the jump to automatic weapon firing?  Gun control bots muddying the waters or what?  How many ak's have you shot,  the recoil is not overpowering in any sense.  I can do that pattern with a 762x51 all day long in a t-shirt..

So apparently you understand the mechanics of automatic weapon operation.  That means you've been trained, and since (using your implied logic) no one can get such training unless they are trained by Mossad or CIA or the Rothschilds, then please tell everyone who is behind your knowledge?

There is logic, and then there's Zerohedge.

2) Set up a camera phone or something to film the action

3) Shoot yourself (and if you are lucky, you'll hit a major vein or artery, since human bodies are not just one big aorta or femoral artery, despite what Hollywood might suggest)

I have no particular sympathy for Islam and muslims, but let's think straight.

Islamic terrorism emerged a bit after the collapse of the USSR (at that time, we had Communist terrorism, oh sorry Gladio operations, the IRA). How could they rise ? Not alone. Western governments have contributed to this, most recently in Syria fighting Assad, a factor of stability in the region. One has to wonder : why the hell all the secular regimes in the Middle-East are falling one after the other ? Lybia, Irak, Syria on the verge... On the other hand, the Middle-East countries that are funding terrorists are Western govts allies (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc.). People who believe the muslims are about to take over the world are simply ignoring the facts : the people those wackos are killing are mainly... muslims. Terrorist attacks happen on a weekly basis in Irak and Libya. Those idiots are killing each other for the interests of the people they claim to despise... 

I believe this instability has been created by the West and Israel. By promoting the radical Islam, they will force neutral people to side with Israel and the West. Throughout the history, religions have been used for political agendas. Never forget that. And Charlie Hedbo contributors played a role in antagonizing communities, hands free, while Dieudonné, who was criticizing the Tribe, got his shows banned. Even if I still have compassion for them because freedom of speech should be guaranteed to everybody and nobody should be killed for his opinions, whatever they are, my thoughts go first for the people in the Middle East who have been killed because of the western imperialism. Those drawers never criticized the government for helping islamists in Libya or Syria. Je Ne Suis Pas Charlie.

Seriously? Perhaps you should read the Koran. Islam terror started in 624 AD and continued on until Christian N. Africa, Turkey, and were finally stopped in Europe.

Their own Koran tells them to fight 4GW style until they have the strength to fight conventional wars.

Only muslims were fighting in the name of the religion at that time ? The crusades ? The thirty year wars ? You can tell me when Islam terror started but ignoring the whole history related to wars and other religions. I lost you cause you have your own prefabricated opinion or you are ignorant. As a matter of fact, judaism, christianism and islam have cohabited for centuries in the Middle East til recently (re the christians of Irak and Syria persecuted, also in Egypt). So many "survivors" of the Islam terror started in 624.

Jesus Christ wept some of you guys are so un-educated and un-travelled. Here, try this on for size. (I swear, you tin-foil hat wearing idiots are, well, you are idiots.)

Khalid ibn Walid also known as Sword of Allah. He is noted for his military prowess, commanding the forces of Prophet Muhammad and those of his immediate successors of the Rashidun Caliphate, Caliph Abu Bakr and Caliph Umar during the Islamic conquest in 7th century.

In having the distinction of being undefeated in over a hundred battles against the numerically superior forces of the Byzantine Roman Empire, Persian Empire, and their allies, he is regarded as one of the finest military commanders in history.

Quotes of Khalid

“Do you see a space of the span of a hand on my leg, chest, arm which is not covered by some scar of the wound of a sword or an arrow or a lance?” Said this to one of his friends a few days before he died, four years after dismissal from army.

“If you were in the clouds, Allah would raise us to you or lower you to us for battle.” Said this to the Byzantine troops when they retreated from the battle field to the fortified town of Chalcis.

“When I am in the battlefield, I love it more then my wedding night with the most beautiful of women”

“I love the rainy night when I am standing wearing armor with a sword and shield in my hand and looking towards the eastern horizon, waiting for sun to rise so that I can start the battle.”

“Submit to Islam and be safe. Or agree to the payment of the Jizya, and you and your people will be under our protection, or else you will have only yourself to blame for the consequences, for I bring the men who desire death as ardently as you desire your life.” (This letter was writen by Khalid to Persian Governor of Mesopotamia before invading it)

“When Allah decides a matter, it is done.”

“I have dedicated my life to the way of Allah, the Most High.”

“Man intends one thing, but Allah intends another.”

“If you are truthful you will survive but if you lie you shall perish.”

These were the famous verses that Khalid use to recite in the battle field.

“I am the son of many chiefs. My sword is sharp and terrible. It is the mightiest of things when the pot of war boils fiercely.”

“I will give you three days, if the gates are not opened on these revised terms, I shall attack. And then there shall be no terms of any kind.”

“I am the son of Al Walid ! Does anyone wish to duel?”

“By my faith, the water will go to whichever army is more steadfast and more deserving.” (Said this before the decisive Battle of Walaja, when Muslim army ran short of water)

“O Lord! If you give us victory, I shall see that none of their warriors is left alive until their river runs with their blood!” (Said this during Battle of Ullais which is also known as Battle of blood river)

“At Battle of Mu’tah I broke nine swords in my hand. But I have never met an enemy like the Persians. And among the Persians I have never met an enemy like the army of Battle of Ullais.” Gave tribute to the brave Persian soldiers after the bloody Battle of Ullais.

“Wait a little while and there will come to you mounts, carrying lions in shining armor, ranks after ranks”

“I see that these people know nothing about war.” Said this about Persian and Christian Arab recruits in the Persian army after analyzing the siege in Iraq.

“We shall take this route, let not your resolve be weakened. Know that the help of Allah comes according to your desire. Let not the Muslims fear anything so long as they have the help of Allah.” (Said this when one of his commander tried to stop him from taking a dangerous rout direct to Syria from Iraq through Syrian desert)

Heraclius wrote following letter to Khalid…

“I have come to know what you have done to my army. You have killed my son in law and captured my daughter. You have won and got away safely. I now ask you for my daughter. Either return her to me on payment of ransom or give her to me as a gift, for honour is a strong element in your character”

Khalid responded by saying,

“Take her as a gift, there shall be no ransom.”

“If Abu Bakr is dead and Umar is Caliph, then we hear and obey.”

“How few are the Romans and how numerous are we ! An army’s strength lies not in numbers of men but in Allah’s help, and its weakness lies in being forsaken by Allah” (Said this to one of his soldier at the Battle of Yarmouk who became worried by the enemies huge numbers gathering before them)

“Praise be to Allah who took Abu Bakr away. He was dearer to me than Umar. Praise be to Allah who appointed Umar in authority He was hateful to me, but I grew to like him.”

“And here I am, dying in my bed, like the cattle die so may the eyes of cowards never sleep.”

These were the last words of Khalid.

This is just my two cents.  The French have received a bad rap over the years, when I've always noticed that their military is actually pretty decent.  I'm guessing that a lot of this stems from the same possible source (Germans circa WW2), because the Poles are in the same boat, and their military units are also pretty squared away.  The French military leadership pre-WW2 was certainly guilty of fighting the last war (WW1---static positions, etc., and that's why they wasted their efforts on the Maginot Line).  The French suffer what we in the US currently suffer from, incredibly shitty political leadership, with the exception that they've been under poor leadership for far longer.  We are rapidly catching up though.  The WH just criticized the paper for the cartoons.  Really?  If that isn't caving to musloid sensitivities, what is?

I agree with your second statement though.  Multiculturalism has never worked.  It didn't work out for the Romans, it's not worked out for any country that has embraced the notion, and it never will.  Muslims do not assimilate.  They might act like they do until they are in sufficient numbers to force their will.  It's their playbook.  The immigrate, play the victim until they reach sufficient numbers, and then change where they've immigrated to into the shithole they left.  Wash, rinse, repeat.

@Jethro

You are right about the poor French military leadership in WW2, but not about the Maginot Line which only fault was to be too short (ending at the Belgian frontier for political reasons). It resisted a long time after the defeat.

Something is to add:

The strength of Hitler's army, particularly the Air Force, was largely underestimated. Nobody was really prepared against the German war machine.  In 1939 and 1940 France was let alone (apart from only 8 British divisions, which succeeded to quickly re-embark at Dunkirk thanks to the sacrifice of the soldiers of the 1st French Army of the North).

France was let alone facing a nazi-fanaticized country with a population of 80 million (vs. 40 million in France), a particularly well prepared war-industry, and an air superiority of 5 vs. 1. 

At the same time the “US ally” refused to sell planes on credit to France

 

Contrary to what has often been said, and is a result of the Nazi propaganda of that time, and the neo-cons hatred in 2003, the German advance (Blitzkrieg) encountered serious resistance from the French troops. In the six week Battle of France, from May 10 to June 22, 1940, the French lost, in military personnel alone, 260,000 wounded and 108,000 killed. A total of 368,000 casualties in six weeks is not something to pass off lightly.

This is 5 times more than the losses of the American army in three months of battles in Normandy in 1944 (21000), and nearly the same amount than the US deaths in 7 months of WW1 (116700)!

It is the air superiority (over 1,000 Stuka bombers knocked out the troops defending Sedan) and the intelligent use of the German panzers that broke the defences and made ineluctable the defeat.

Since WW2, air superiority is generally the winning key of all battles …

The 1940 campaign was the most intense of all the battles that will take place later on the Western Front:  

the Germans suffered heavy losses in just 6 weeks - approximately 60,000 killed 111 000 injured and above 1250 planes were destroyed which will be greatly missed by the Luftwaffe during the battle of Britain. Struggling one against five, the French fighter planes weakened the Luftvaffe (defeating two German planes for one loss).

Yes, the Germans gave the French a terrible beating. But it took the combined strength of the United States, Great Britain, Soviet Russia, Canada, etc., to beat the Germans.

It’s asking rather a great deal of France to match such strength against hers – with an air inferiority of 1 vs. 5. The US never faced more than 15% of the Wehrmacht – 80% were in the East -  when France had to face alone 100% of Hitler's war machine in 1940 – plus 22 Italian divisions in the south.

In fact, the Germans would have walked straight over the British or American armies if any of these places would have been directly adjacent to France. Remember that in 1944, at the battle of the Bulge (Ardennes) the Americans were only saved by their planes. Strangely, it is at the very same place that the Germans initially broke the French line.
