‘Frenchman’ gets 30 years for knife attack on soldiers guarding Nice Jewish center
2019-12-13
[IsraelTimes] Judges say Moussa Coulibaly has shown ’little or no regret’ for assault, which came shortly after shootings at Charlie Hebdo

, kosher supermarket.


A Gay Paree court on Thursday sentenced a jihadist to 30 years in prison over his February 2015 knife attack on three soldiers guarding a Jewish center in the Mediterranean city of Nice.

Moussa Coulibaly,
...known wolf who is probably not related to Mali-French Charlie Hebdo killer Amedy Coulibaly — Coulibaly is a common name in Mali...
now 35, staged his assault just weeks after the killing of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper offices in Gay Paree, the beginning of a wave of terror attacks carried out in the name of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and other jihadist groups.

In the days following that shooting, four people were killed by a jihadist gunman at Hyper Cacher, a kosher supermarket during a hostage standoff with police. The assailant also killed a policewoman in the Montrouge suburb south of Gay Paree where authorities think he may have initially been targeting a nearby Jewish school.

In issuing its ruling, the judges noted that Coulibaly had shown "little or no regret" for the attack, in which two soldiers were maimed before a third wrestled Coulibaly to the ground.

They found "an almost fanatical determination" to apply IS calls for French citizens to carry out terror attacks on home soil.

The assault sparked criticism of the government’s security efforts after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, since Coulibaly was well known to police.

A few weeks earlier, French intelligence services had been alerted to the fact that he was trying to enter The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
‐ a key staging point for jihadists seeking to go fight in Syria ‐ and asked the country to expel him.

He was questioned upon his return but later released because of insufficient evidence to press charges.

After the Nice attack Coulibaly told Sherlocks he hated La Belle France as well as police, the military and Jews.

But in court on Thursday, Coulibaly said, "I’m now against violence. I would not do again what I did."
No doubt.

#5  So, is he out of jail yet? I mean, in Europe, a "life" sentence means about 10 year; a 30 year sentence, with time served should mean he'll be out by Christmas, New Year's at the latest. /sarcasm

#2  Wonder if the French prisons have the same flavor of some American prisons, in that certain 'crimes' are punishable by the local population. I guess we'll find out.
