Slain Paris Terrorist Claims He Was Working For ISIS In Posthumous Video, Explains Reasons For Attack

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Two days after the dramatic and tragic events from Friday, Amedy Coulibaly, who in coordination with the two brothers who attacked a satirical newspaper and said they were affiliated with al-Qaeda, killed four hostages at a Paris supermarket Friday before he was slain by police appeared in a new posthumous video released on Sunday, on which he pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group and explained the planning and the reasoning behind the attacks that sowed terror across France.

According to WaPo "the video pointed to the dangers, long anticipated by law enforcement, posed by the expanding allure of the group that has conquered vast areas of Iraq and Syria over the past two years, even as al-Qaeda continues to pursue its own agenda of staging attacks against the West. The video offered no evidence, however, that Coulibaly had been in contact with the Islamic State before his assault on the supermarket, which may represent another example of the “lone wolf” attacks that the Islamic State has inspired, analysts said."

As Breaking 911 adds, "filmed over several days and edited after the attacks, the video shows Amedy Coulibaly displaying a small arsenal of weapons, doing pushups and pullups in a drab courtyard and, in broken Arabic, giving fealty to IS militants. The video appeared Sunday on militant websites, and two men who dealt drugs with Coulibaly confirmed his identify to The Associated Press."

More:

Coulibaly cited the airstrikes carried out against the Islamic State by the U.S.-led coalition, in which France participates, as one of the motives for his assault on the supermarket, which came two days after two brothers, Said and Chérif Kouachi, stormed the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and killed 12 people.

 

“You attack the Islamic State. We attack you,” he said, speaking in French and occasionally lapsing into broken Arabic, in a segment of the recording that showed him wearing a leather jacket and wool cap, seated beside an AK-47 automatic rifle. “You and your coalition, so that you who are almost in the lead now, you bombard there regularly,” he said. “You kill civilians, you kill combatants, you kill.”

 

Other segments showed him wearing Arab and African robes and a flak vest, suggesting they were recorded at different times, though all appeared to have been filmed in the same place. The furnishings and stripped hardwood floors suggest an apartment in France.

 

At least one segment, which refers to the Charlie Hebdo attack, was likely recorded in the two days that elapsed between the attacks, and the video begins and ends with footage of police bursting into the supermarket and shooting Coulibaly.

 

The video lacked the sophisticated editing techniques typically associated with Islamic State videos, and French authorities have not indicated that Coulibaly was among the more than 700 French citizens who are thought to have traveled to Syria to fight.

 

The video was first posted by an obscure jihadist account on Twitter, rather than the Islamic State’s official forums, according to Aaron Zelin, an expert in jihadist movements at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. That gives no reason to believe Coulibaly had been directed to act by the Islamic State, only that he was connected to a wider network of jihadists who sympathize, support and perhaps dispatch volunteers to fight for the organization, he said.

The video is below:

Curious, Coulibaly’s wife, Hayat Bou­meddiene, who is wanted by the French authorities, was reported by French and Turkish officials to have traveled to Turkey and then across the border into Syria in the days immediately preceding the attacks. She had participated in more than 500 telephone calls with the wife of Chérif Kouachi, one of the Charlie Hebdo attackers, suggesting the attackers all knew one another.

What is odd is that according to the latest news, despite reports that she participated in the deli store shootout, she was not in France when the attack took place: The French female terror suspect on the run is no longer in France and appears to have left before this week's terror attacks struck that nation. A Turkish intelligence official told the Associated Press on Saturday that a woman with the same name and resembling a widely distributed photo of Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, flew to Istanbul on Jan. 2. Authorities believe she traveled to Sanliurfa near the Syrian border on Jan. 4, then disappeared. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to the AP because he wasn't authorized to speak on the record.

Which means that whoever got away from the French police, if preliminary accounts of two attackers are correct, is not only not identified but still on the loose.

Why does everything have to be a false flag? I believe in false flags, but I'm not so quick to draw any conclusions.

What if the globalists just totally underestimated radical islam? Isn't it possible radical islamists are pursuing their own interests?

The "smartest people in the room" have destroyed the global economy. What makes us think they're in total control of radical islam?

I have also not wanted to reflexively jump to FF.  That sets up two camps who have the same goal. Those who think it was a FF and despise the government and those who dont think it was a FF and despise the government.

Really we are in the same camp.

For one, I figured this was organic from the get go.  Seeing world leaders reactions and watching the head shot video has changed my opinion.

"never let a crisis go to waste"....  but probably false flag.  After 9/11, how could a critical thinker believe otherwise?  Why?  To rally the unclean against the designated terrorists who just happen to be where pipelines and central banks should be.

But you cannot ignore the fact that we have bombed the fuck out of that region and a lot of people hate us because it is natural to not like being bombed.  You also cannot ignore how they treat each other over there.  And then there is the idea that everything can be controlled by a small cabal of men.  This world is too complex for that, and any such cabal of men will eventually fall to their own hubris.  We know that FFs happen, but to assume that there is only one group of evil men in this world is folly.

In the end it's the reaction that is more important, false flag or not.  And the reaction to this is extreme.  The drums of war beat loud.  Syria better be digging trenches.  If it was a FF (and I think it is wise to start with that assumption, given the recent history) it looks like it will be an extremely successful one.  Maybe as successful as 9/11.  If it wasn't a FF, then TPTB have been handed a gift they are taking full advantage of.

A dozen people or so, and most everyone I see is begging for war.  Christ, we kill that many daily, women collecting firewood, people celebrating at weddings, children going to school.  Why is this dozen so important?  

I think the time is near when asking a question like that will lead to a midnight blackshirt raid.  I don't like the way people are looking at me when I ask it, or similar.  Three times yesterday I was told we had to invade Iraq, and the murders there are justified, because of 9/11, with a pretty clear implication that to think otherwise would make one a traitor.

its a false flag for the same reason that American blacks keep picking the absolute worst causes (Trayvon, Ferguson) to get behind. Its because the powers that be (the CIA, or the Black Grievance Industry) can't wait forever for the perfect vehicle to push their particular set of changes on the world. They work under their own timeline... meaning the CIA uses false flags... and the Black Grievance Industry uses whatever murder happens to occur between a white shooter and a black victim.

Watched the execution video a couple of times now with emphasis on remembering what used to happen when we shot stuff.

That was no bullet that went through that head.  At that range it would not be pretty.  JFK anyone? 

The only way there would be no apparent damage to the head would be if the bullet went through without deforming and releasing energy.  Usually happens with a high speed round hitting soft tissue (say between the ribs of an animal), which the head and 7.62x39mm are not. When a high energy round releases it's energy, the trauma is massive. A buddie shot a deer with a handloaded Black Talon round (~150grain) from a 30-06, front shoulder.  Blew a softball size exit hole.  Now an AK isn't that high energy, but damn if a skull isn't hard enough to deform it to release all of it's energy.

Seems this is getting curiouser and curiouser.

PODs not a dig at you or your comments on wound ballistics as those comments are about right for the 7.62x39 fired by the AK47 esp. if the bullet was a soft point or hollow point even FMJ at that distance.

But the rifle used appears to be an AK74 which fires the 5.45x39 mm cartridge. Much smaller and if they had FMJ steel core or AP then it would make a much smaller entry and exit wounds.

Take a look at the curve of the magazine on the rifle he has, the AK47 has very curved shape, while the AK74 is straighter.

Pods. likewise, initially things like apparent incompetence, not knowing the address, stopping to shoot a cop (just drive past surely), the tight groupings on the police car (trained ISIS fighters), running out of fuel, not having a second getaway car, leaving an ID lying around had me thinking “organic” and therefore fueled by religious indignation over the insults to their core beliefs. But now … some facts;
Cop on the pavement;
No blood (but there is some there now)
He missed, but still hit the pavement, surely close enough to still cause injuries.
Cop on ground rolls between 1st and 2nd appearance and then he “looks” over his shoulder waiting for the gunman to turn up. No movement when “hit”.
Why stop ? And when they do stop there's a camera on them the instant they get out of the car.
Line on the road near front right wheel when they get back in, not there when they stopped.
No sirens, no chasers, they run around like headless chooks.
The above I saw myself, then there's flack jacketed people on other rooftops. Is there EXIF type data on video (would be interested to see what that says if someone has analysed it.
They were expecting an attack and had Police protection, they also had a code entry on the door and to get through they forced someone to enter the code. This is after they had asked for directions. How were they dressed at this stage … so how come their protection is not alerted, what happened to the duress code that surely they were all given.
So how did they make their getaway. The tight grouping on a police car turning up to a scene where attacks were expected.
In this situation what exactly is meant by a false flag. At some level within French authority there was advance knowledge of the attack? The brothers have been able to travel freely yet they are on a watch list, and are known to recruit for FSA/ISIS. ISIS itself exists with some level compliance or looking away. I think it must be nearly impossible to fake the disappearance of 12 people.
There must be a large group of people amongst journalists, politicians those, in positions of authority etc. who have looked at 9/11 and WTC7 and said to their colleagues and said WTF, and then concluded that it's bad for their careers, or the health to question the “narrative”, and now whenever they are not sure, whenever they see something that conflicts with the narrative they know to look away, not saying anything to anyone but their most trusted.
The suicided policeman may have decided that he didn't want to go along with the narrative or he may have been so disgusted, felt so betrayed by his own countrymen, politicians, who killed 11 innocents for an agenda.

Too many untrained sleuths out there.  Regarding the supposed head shot.  First, MEDIA outlets said it was a head shot, no one else, because they thought it was a head shot because they don't know what a real head shot looks like.  Even to the point of blanking out a miss!

Second, the guy is approaching the officer and doesn't stop, if you aren't that familiar with tracking a target what are you naturally going to do?  Miss high which is exactly what he does!  No consipiracy, just a mis-diagnosis and mis-reporting of the precise events.  This is becoming more common as we have lazier and lazier reporters who simply echo what everyone else is saying.

There used to be a website called "Zerohedge". For those who never saw it, it carried articles on bond convexity and yield curve peculiarities, the mysteries of Fed policy, and the hidden dangers of non-exchange traded synthetic CDO Squareds with attached CDSs.

Now there is a site masquerading as that once widely read and impactful website, which carries primarily tales of false flags, limited hangouts, stage actors, psy-op shills and even Contributor articles about, of all things, enemas. With all of those entrees comes side orders of Putiporn and Nailgun Porn.

Alexa says such a shift has hurt its page views, though that assertion is dismissed in the same manner CNBC dismisses anything reported by Nielsen. Apparently, however, by catering to the addled-brain demographic, what the site has lost in eyeballs it has more than made up for in targeted ad revenues. Who knew Russian Brides could generate so much dosh? At least one can applaud pure mercantilism.

For anyone interested, there are still the archives where one can experience a touch of nostalgia remembering what once was.

I concluded from the early years of ZH that structured finance couldn't account for the non-linear events. I'd put war and terrorism on the non-linear side. You simply can't model how bad or costly they will get. Whether measured in money or psyche.

So since the 2007-2009 crash, nothing has changed. It might be getting worse. The reality is being masked. And we're waiting on the next event.

I'm not convinced everything is not what it seems. I just know there are few people that stand to gain a lot by throwing the world into chaos right now. A good number of those people reside near Washington DC
