ISIS Reveals Picture Of Suicide Bomber Who Killed A Dozen In Tuesday Attack On Tunisian Capital

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Tunisia became the latest victim of an ISIS terror attack on Tuesday when a suicide bomber detonated, killing at least 12 and destroying a bus carrying Presidential guard troops. 

As we noted in the moments after the explosion (which occurred on Mohamed V Avenue in the capital of Tunis), the attack came five months (nearly to the day) after a gunman stormed the popular resort of Port El Kantaoui, north of Sousse in Tunisia killing 38 people including 30 British citizens with a Kalashnikov.

"This (bus bombing) is an evolution in the behavior of the terrorists, this time they attacked a symbol of the state and in the heart of the capital," Prime Minister Habib Essid told reporters.  

"According to the preliminary details, the attacker was wearing a bag on his back. He had on a coat and was wearing headphones. He blew himself up just getting into the door of the bus with military explosives," a security official said on Wednesday. According to the interior ministry, the bomber was carrying 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of explosives.

Tunisia “is one of the most secular Arab countries [and] has enjoyed relative stability since its uprising compared with neighbors Libya and Egypt,” Reuters notes, adding that “it has a new constitution, held free elections and established compromise politics between secular and Islamist parties that has allowed some progress.” 

Still, it’s been the target of numerous attacks in addition to the Port El Kantaoui massacre including the assault on the Bardo Museum earlier this year.

In the wake of Tuesday's bombing, the government has declared a state of emergency and, like Brussels, has turned the streets into a veritable warzone. Again from Reuters:

"Around Tunis on Wednesday, troops and armed police patrolled the city streets and set up checkpoints searching vehicles and pedestrians. At Tunis international airport security forces were allowing in only people with booked flights."

 

 

Here's the statement from ISIS:

And here is a picture of the alleged attacker:

There was no word on whether he had a Syrian passport...

I'm sorry to the people of Tunisia that President Obama is funding and training ISIS because he says Assad is too brutal.

I'm sorry to the people of the world when Mr. and Mrs. Dash start smuggling US made TOW missles to a city near you.

I hate to say it, but a coward is certainly not what he is. How much this whole thing goes against the grain of anything I think is decent, the one thing I can't say it is, is cowardly.

It is disgusting, amoral, incomprehensible and way over what most people can deal with.

The problem is that it is almost impossible to defend yourself against this type of behaviour, because to us it is not logical. I would look to take as many as possible and hopefully survive, but these people are far beyond that. They just want to take as many as possible and die.

But cowards they are not.

Just my view.

I agree - despicable and almost unthinkable to rational beings but cowardly, no. It takes balls to blow yourself up.

It is the belief in some concocted god and heaven with promises of virgins in an afterlife that give these people the courage to do this. Remove the programming and I think most people would simply want to just live their lives and not harm others. I said most. I am aware of a very small population with its state bordered by Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon who seem to want to control every f*cking thing and subjugate everyone. They are a virulent plague.

You're clearly confusing "balls" with blatant stupidity.  Doing something under a ridiculous notion of 72 virgins does not negate the fact these people are indeed cowards.  Anybody could murder a bunch of unarmed people by surprise and then not have to stick around and deal with the consequences.  As a matter of fact, due to their fucked up beliefs of what eternal paradise they'll experience after this it's not really "ballsy" to blow themselves up.

I think it takes balls to kill oneself. Or at least deep despondency or programming. I'm not excusing the behavior nor am I intending that there is any sort of heroism in the act of murdering unarmed, unprepared strangers in a public setting.

Suicide bombers typically become selected from a pool of low-IQ individuals. They bring to mind a famous quote by Carl Sagan:

A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.

ISIS was armed and trained by the USSA. Both Demonrats and Repuglickans supported it.

Patrick J Buchanan, God bless him, has repeatedly praised Putin and called on the US to work WITH Putin. Of course that is not going to happen. Since the Tribe that OWNS the US government supports ISIS also. And Putin did try to appease the Tribe, what with the law against questioning the Holocaust®©

Who's the terrorist?

America wasn’t formed to be an Empire, to join in with Israel in its quest for a Greater Israel and world dominance; this is deadly. The future of empires is that they are destroyed.

The Founders' idea was a self-sufficient nation where people could advance in morality and prosperity and not be world conquerors. The latter is oblivion; and we’re seeing it right now. Our leaders are taking us to destruction. They are now considering world war…

Netanyahu is following the marching orders of David ben Gurion who, in the words of Israel Shahak, believed that Israel is destined by divine mandate to “restore the Kingdom of David and Solomon to its biblical borders.” It’s called Greater Israel. It was Ariel Sharon who proposed the Likud adopt the “biblical borders’ concept as its official policy.”

According to Wikipedia, “The Bible contains three geographical definitions of the Land of Israel. The first, found in Genesis 15:18-21… describes a large territory, "from the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates", comprising all of modern-day Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, as well as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, Oman, Yemen, most of Turkey, and all the land east of the Nile river.”

These so-called terrorists always cover their faces before they attack yet the media are always able to print full-face photographs of them immediately after they attack. The Paris "mastermind", for example. 24 hours later and the BBC had his mug all over their home page.

 

Strange that.

 

Unless of course the media have direct access to their SAS, Mossad and CIA handlers.

“About 57 percent of all the [terrorist] attacks and 78 percent of all the deaths [in 2014] occurred in the five nations of Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan and Syria.” -- Terrorism Deaths Quadruple Under Obama http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/24/terrorism-deaths-quadruple-obama/

Notice the absence of the countries Belgium, France, the United States and Britain. The full force of Western military power has been concentrated on the Middle East. It’s a huge misrepresentation to take events such as 9-11 and the recent Paris attacks as symbols of increasing terrorism. Consistent bombing by Western aircraft on peoples throughout the ME kill innocents just like so-called terrorists who fight back against the invading forces and often against rebel groups supported by these Western invaders.

The word "terrorism" is obviously used by Western nations and Israel as a propaganda tool against their chosen enemies.
