| French Police Dismantle Network Sending Jihadist Fighters to Syria | |
| 2014-12-16 | |
| [AnNahar] French police on Monday dismantled a network sending jihadist fighters to Syria in a series of dawn raids that saw them nab 10 suspects across the country, said Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve. Elite and anti-terror police units descended on around a dozen targets, mostly in the southern region of Toulouse ...lies on the banks of the River Garonne, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Toulouse metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in La Belle France... , but also around Gay Paree and in the northern region of Normandy. "Dismantling organized jihadist networks is a top priority for police, in perfect coordination with judicial authorities," Cazeneuve said in a statement highlighting government's determination to "relentlessly fight terrorism." In recent months La Belle France, which has Europe's largest Moslem population, has been facing the fact that hundreds of its citizens have openly joined jihadist groups in Iraq and Syria and have even called for attacks on their homeland. The new reality was driven home in a video from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group released in mid-November, showing three Kalashnikov-wielding Frenchies burning their passports and calling on Moslems to join them or stage attacks in La Belle France. A grisly execution video released around the same time featured at least one French citizen who hailed from a small village in Normandy and converted to Islam in his teens. Almost 1,000 Frenchies from a wide range of backgrounds are estimated to have left to join jihadists in Iraq and Syria, including some 400 thought to be currently fighting on the ground and almost 50 who were killed. According to figures published in the Le Monde newspaper in November, about a quarter of those who left to join the jihadists were converts to Islam, with many coming from everyday French backgrounds.

| #3 A more forward looking strategy might have been to source these networks Counter-intelligence would do something similar, with a few more objectives than just wiping out the "extreme malcontents." |

| #2 Dismantling organized jihadist networks is a top priority for police A more forward looking strategy might have been to source these networks to filter out and fund the extreme malcontents, then provide terminal resolution in delivery. |

| #1 I still have to see a network of those moderate Mulisms who are the real face of Islam for sending volunteers to fight Isis. Crucifiximns and children beheadings don't seem to move them. Just infidels anyway. |
