...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet... and salafist imams in Germany connected to ISIS
A Tunisian asylum seeker suspected of carrying out the Berlin massacre was jugged Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! three times this year amid fears he was planning a terror plot - but they let him go. Despite being an ISIS supporter known to have received weapons training, German authorities allowed Anis Amri to slip through their clutches time after time. The 23-year-old even tried to recruit an accomplice for a terror plot ‐ and again the authorities knew about it ‐ but still he remained on the lam, it has emerged. Police today revealed they have launched a Europe-wide hunt for the refugee, who came to Germany earlier this year and to Italia in 2012. He is probably armed, 'highly dangerous' and a member of a 'large' Islamic organization and has weapons training abroad, security sources say. This afternoon it emerged that he had already been under investigation for planning a 'serious act of violence against the state' and counter-terrorism officials last exchanged information about him in November.
According to BILD newspaper the German authorities were in touch with their Tunisian counterparts to get him a passport so he could be kicked out. But Tunis said it had no record of him being a citzen. The wanted notice issued this afternoon, a European arrest warrant from Germany, indicates he has at times used six different aliases and three different nationalities. He was put on a danger list shortly after arriving - a move which meant authorities considered him prone to extreme violence. Yet just how much surveillance he was under remains unclear. In July this year he got into a knife fight over drugs and was charged with GBH. But he went underground before getting to court. Yet he surfaced again in August in Ludwigsburg when he was arrested for possessing a fake Italian document. Again, why he was allowed to slip through the fingers of the security services, given his known affiliation to hate preachers, is unclear. Before his vanishing act he had contact with Salafist preachers who promoted Jihad among German young men who converted to Islam.

#7 Tunisians often go to Italy, and when they are running out of options there they try the asylum spiel. Usually they arrive by train, shred their documents and claim they are from Libya. |

#3 Clem, he probably left it in the truck because he knew police throughout the EU would need all the help they could get. |

#2 The Berlin truck attack suspect had been arrested in August with forged documents on his way to Italy but was released by a judge, a German security official tells CNN. The suspect's identity papers were found inside the truck used in Monday's attack on a Christmas market, which left 12 people dead, German security officials said. The suspect was known to German security services as someone in contact with radical Islamist groups, and had been assessed as posing a risk, Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia Ralf Jaeger told reporters. The suspect was believed to have entered Germany in July 2015, Jaeger said. His asylum request was refused in June, and Tunisian authorities were informed when the deportation process started. |
