Egyptian Louvre attack suspect 'acted alone'

You have the right to remain silent...
after a machete attack at the Louvre in Gay Paree last week has said he acted on his own and was not under orders from ISIS, a source close to the probe said Wednesday.
Police have confirmed him as Abdallah El-Hamahmy, a sales manager resident in Dubai, who has denied being guided by the murderous Moslem group during interrogations.
He said that he "acted on his own will" and planned only to damage artworks as a symbolic assault on La Belle France, the source said, asking not to be named.
Although his backpack contained spray paint which could have been used to deface artwork, Sherlocks believe he appears to have "a certain sympathy for the ideas of IS," the source said, referring to ISIS using a different acronym.
In Friday’s attack at the world’s busiest museum, Hamahmy was shot after lunging at four soldiers with machetes in the underground ticketing area while shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest).
Hamahmy, who is recovering in hospital, is likely be charged once medical staff say he is well enough to appear before a judge.
The son of a retired policeman entered La Belle France legally on January 26 on a flight from Dubai and was staying in an apartment rented by the week in an expensive Gay Paree district near the Champs-Elysees, sources say.
Investigators are examining a Twitter account thought to his which sent out a dozen messages in Arabic between 9:27 am and 9:34 am, just minutes before the attack.
"In the name of Allah... for our brothers in Syria and fighters across the world," one said.
Another post asked: "Why are they afraid of the creation of a state for Islam? Because the state of Islam defends its resources and the honor of Moslems."
Hamahmy’s father Reda El-Hamahmy, a retired police officer, had previously given media interviews ‐ including with Al Arabiya ‐ saying his son was innocent.
But speaking in Cairo he told AFP that his son had shown no sign of having been radicalized.
He said the family was relatively well off, with Abdallah earning a law degree in the Nile delta city of Mansoura in 2010 before moving to Dubai to become a sales manager.
The father said the suspect’s wife was pregnant with the couple’s second child and was currently in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
The Louvre assault revived fears of violence in La Belle France, which suffered a string of attacks that killed 238 people between January 2015 and July 2016.
