UK police arrested Swedish woman suspected of terrorism
Jul 5, 2019
LONDON — British police have arrested a Swedish woman at London’s Gatwick Airport on suspicion of committing a terrorism offence.

Police said Friday that the 40-year-old suspect was arrested Thursday afternoon after arriving in Britain on a flight from Italy.

The arrest was made by the South East Counter Terrorism police unit. Police say she is suspected of violating the Terrorism Act 2000 by preparing acts of terrorism.

She has not been charged or identified and is being questioned by police.

Britain has set its official international terrorism threat level at “severe,” meaning an attack is judged by intelligence analysts to be highly likely.

Switzerland’s ‘most dangerous jihadist’ captured in Syria

The Geneva native turned Islamic State fighter was captured last month by the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the eastern Syrian town of Al-Baghuz.

Daniel D., as the 24-year-old is referred to by the Swiss press, is the only Swiss jihadist on an Interpol list of 173 names, all members of the Islamic State’s "martyr brigade”. Trained to carry out terrorist attacks Daniel D. is better known by his alias Abu Ilias al-Swissri. Alongside the Aargau-origin Thomas C., who is probably no longer alive, counter-terrorism experts classify Daniel D. as "the most dangerous Swiss jihadist".

He was not heard of for a year even when Kurdish forces liberated Al-Baghuz, one of the last strongholds of the Islamic State, in March. He managed to evade capture for another three months and was injured in a skirmish leading to his arrest, according to the papers Le Matin Dimanche, SonntagsZeitung and NZZ am Sonntag. He has a wife, whom he married in Syria, and a 11-month old son. Both are believed to be held in the Al-Hol internment camp, controlled by the SDF.

Born into a Catholic family, he turned to Islam after failing to complete his education. It is believed that he was radicalized at the Petit-Saconnex mosque in Geneva.

One dead and nine injured after knifeman rampage through French city of Lyon | Daily Mail Online

A teenager has died and at least nine others are injured after a knifeman went on a stabbing spree in the French city of Lyon this afternoon.

The man, one armed with a knife and a large meat fork, carried out the attack near the Laurent-Bonnevay metro station in the city's Villeurbanne region.

The 33-year-old Afghan immigrant lunged at people waiting at a bus stop outside the station in broad daylight.

Of those injured three are believed to have been seriously wounded, while six more have suffered minor injuries. The one fatality is believed to be a 19-year-old man.

There have been a number of terrorist attacks involving kitchen knives in France since 2015 - most of them carried out by supporters of Islamic State or Al Qaeda.

Last May a parcel bomb packed with screws and ball bearings exploded in the centre of Lyon, injuring 13 people.

Jihad-watcher Azazel van den Berg notes on twitter:

Stab-as-you-please party in Lyon was most likely committed by guys who remain loyal to IS, a few days ago there was a call for attacks against French citizens. In the various pro IS chat groups, the news about this stabbing is slowly erupting.

Waiting for the return of the Caliphate

“When the Islamic State comes back, I will put your head on one of these poles,” an ISIS wife shouted at her female Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) detention facility guard, indicating that the guard will be beheaded. Her ISIS comrade’s attitude toward the guard was equally threatening: “No, that’s too good for her. We have to sell her as a sex slave.”

It is a full year since President Trump, the Iraqi Prime Minister and coalition forces declared ISIS’ territorial defeat, yet this female SDF commander, head of security at the Ain Issa Camp we are visiting in late August, describes a small gang of ISIS women still operating in the camp. Nine of these ISIS women attacked her while conducting a routine check in the camp, grabbing hold of her hair and beating her until other SDF guards came to her rescue. While they beat her, they shouted, “What your women (YPJ soldiers) did in al Bab, we will do the same. We are not less than them.”

These ISIS women are afraid of no one. They fully expect the ISIS “Caliphate” to return. They openly share how they intend to take revenge on the SDF detention facility guards upon ISIS’ return. “Their husbands told them to take the human corridors out of ISIS and wait in the camps until they come to rescue them,” we were told by one of the former ISIS wives living in the camp who seems to no longer espouse the ISIS narrative and the group’s hateful rhetoric. While awaiting the return of the Caliphate, these women still dedicated to ISIS continue to violently enforce ISIS’ dress code over the rest of the camp, namely requiring that the other former ISIS wives wear niqab (the full-face veil) and vowing to violently punish those who speak out against ISIS.

From their standpoint, ISIS is not in any way defeated and their stint in the detention camps is merely an Islamic State-orchestrated “hudna,” or temporary ceasefire, while the group regains its strength.

Italian soldier is stabbed in the throat by a man with scissors shouting 'Allahu Akbar' outside Milan train station

Italian soldier is stabbed in the throat by a man with scissors | Daily Mail Online

An investigation has now reportedly been launched to determine whether or not the attacker had 'links to terrorism'.

The attacker was then arrested for attempted murder, police confirmed, but it was not believed that the incident was terrorism-related.

.....

Wonder what the definition of terrorism is in france.

 

[BlackCloud]

In Europe they're very strict about what terrorism is...maybe a little too much...
Anyways I hope the Italian soldier feels better now and he get well soon.

Pugnala alla gola un militare poi immigrato urla "Allah Akbar"

After stabbing a military man in the throat, the immigrant shouts "Allah Akbar".

The umpteenth episode of violence in Central Station, yet another brutal attack on a member of the police force.

On Tuesday morning, an immigrant attacked a military man behind his back, stabbing him in the throat.

Then, when he was tackled and arrested by the Carabinieri of the third Lombardy Battalion, he started screaming several times "Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar!"

The episode took place in the Duca D'Aosta square, in front of the Milan railway station. The area remains critical because of the high presence of illegal immigrants. The foreigner used a pair of scissors to hit the soldier engaged in the service "Strade Sicure". Wounded around his neck, he was given first aid on the spot by the staff of the 118 and then transported - in green code - to the Fatebenefratelli hospital: his condition is not serious and he is not in life-threatening danger.

According to the newspaper.it, the man - originally from Yemen - had already been reported by the Carabinieri of Radio Mobile for threats and resistance to public officials. The investigators are now assessing whether it was a gesture of an unbalanced man or a terrorist attack.

"For some time I have been denouncing the degradation, insecurity and crime that have taken over in Piazza Duca d'Aosta, but the Municipality always pretends not to hear and here are the results. If one of those non-EU fools who populate the area of the Central Station starts attacking from behind and without reason a man of the army this means that the much praised "model Milan" does not exist. How can the town hall and its companions not notice that this area is completely out of control? Must someone be killed before they wake up?", the comment of Silvia Sardone, municipal councillor and MEP of the League.

"The attacks in the Central Station are the order of the day: we wonder if this is the idea of integration of the Milanese left, engaged in media operations but light years away from the commitment to security that would require a large city like Milan." The Lega Leader Alessandro Morelli comments on this fact. Thus, the group leader of the Carroccio at Palazzo Marino remembers the last and recent cases that took place in the square in front of the railway station: "In March, a Libyan stabbed passers-by at random in the passage, only in July the Carabinieri were injured during a brawl between foreigners ...".

Mailand: Unsicherheit und Wut nach schwerem Angriff auf Polizisten


At the police station itself, the attacker, who allegedly comes from Yemen and was rejected as an asylum seeker in Germany according to Italian media reports, said he wanted "to paradise quickly". Now he is facing charges for a terrorist act. The Yemenite is not a stranger, his criminal record is conspicuous, in Germany he has been classified as a danger and Islamist.

This violent episode on the "Piazzale Duca D'Aosta", in front of the railway station, which is an extremely critical area especially due to the high presence of illegal immigrants, was not the only one. Barely 24 hours had passed, violent clashes broke out again, during which blood flowed again. Two African immigrants attacked each other with broken bottle necks. The tourists and passers-by were able to get to safety quickly, and the Carabinieri moved out again to the migration hotspot at the main railway station.

Europe is a mess. Instead of kicking these people out and makes sure they never come back, the Great Humanitarians are letting hundreds of thousands of them in with no controls or checks whatsoever.

Sweden Spinning out of Control

"Terrorism is now a threat everywhere in Sweden"

• From the beginning of 2019 to the end of July, there were 120 bombings in Sweden, according to police statistics.
  
  
• In Uppsala alone, a picturesque Swedish university town, where 80% of girls do not feel safe in the city center, four rapes or attempted rapes took place in early August within four days.
  
  
• "Stop the rapes – you are letting the women down.... That women do not have the same opportunity to move freely in the streets and squares without having to worry about being exposed to crime, is a serious restriction on women's freedom and self-determination". — Josefin Malmqvist, member of parliament for the Moderate Party; Aftonbladet, August 24, 2019.

• In the southern Swedish city of Landskrona -- a place of roughly 35,000 inhabitants -- since December 2018, there have been seven explosions or bombings. In August, the entrance to Landskrona's city hall (pictured) was blown up.

Seenotrettung für Folterer?: „Wir können nicht scannen, wer die Leute sind. Die kommen ohne Pässe“ - WELT


Three men accused of torture in Libyan refugee camps would have arrived in Italy with the German rescue ship "Sea-Watch 3" of Captain Carola Rackete. "We can't rule this out, but we don't have any reliable information about it ourselves," according to Sea-Watch spokesman Ruben Neugebauer to the German Press Agency (dpa).

Migrants who arrived later with the Italian rescue ship "Alex" would have recognized their tormentors in Italy. First, the right-wing newspaper "Il Giornale" made the accusations. The police then announced in mid-September that the suspects had raped, tortured or even killed migrants in the North African country. "The migrants were systematically harassed and subjected to atrocities - through repeated and constant physical violence," according to the statement.

Brutal blows with sticks, rifle shots and electric shocks were among them. The suspects were arrested in a reception camp in Messina after other migrants sounded the alarm. According to police, they arrived in Lampedusa on 29 June, the day the "Sea-Watch 3" entered the port without permission.

Civil war and chaos have ruled Libya for years. Migrants are trying to get to Europe via the country. For many, this journey ends in an internment camp.

Aid organisations point out that they cannot know exactly who the people on their ships are. "We cannot scan who the people are. They come without passports," said Neugebauer. Torture is one of the main reasons why people flee Libya. Therefore it is quite possible that perpetrators are also on the ships. "It is therefore very important that this is investigated. At the public prosecutor's office in Sicily at first nobody was reachable.

Italy's right-wing former interior minister Matteo Salvini immediately denounced the scandal on Facebook and demanded an apology from Rackete: "Not only has she broken the law and rammed a financial police boat: On 29 June Carola Rackete's 'Sea-Watch 3' is said to have unloaded three migrants in Italy who are accused of violence, rape ... and murder." Rackete is under investigation in Italy for aiding and abetting illegal immigration since she entered the port.

Carola Rackete is a human trafficker who works closely with criminal organisations. If convicted, she faces 15 years of jail in Italy.

15 years? Not enough.
IMHO for what Rackete is doing to Italy, Europe and her country as well, she deserves 30 years in prison...

Isis warning: Dozens of French militants join terror network in Africa and Asia

DOZENS of French jihadists have sneaked out of Syria to join Isis outposts in southeast Asia and west Africa’s troubled Sahel region, the head of France’s National Centre for Counter Terrorism warned on Thursday. Driven from its self-styled caliphate in Iraq and Syria, the terrorist group is down but not out, with members joining forces with their African and Asian counterparts.

“Thirty-nine French militants” are known to have fled northern Syria’s besieged Idlib to join Isis “wilayats,” or affiliates, in southeast Asia, Afghanistan and the Sahel region, Pierre Bousquet de Florian, whose anti-terror task force reports directly to French President Emmanuel Macron, told a conference on national security.

Some “10,000 militants,” however, are still in Idlib, a town of around three million people and Isis’ last remaining stronghold. Despite its crushing territorial defeat in Iraq and Syria to western-backed forces, the extremist group is regrouping in remote parts of Asia and Africa, seen as safe havens for its leadership.

M Bousquet de Florian also commented on the current abatement of Isis-inspired attacks in the west, stressing that the hiatus did not mean that the terror threat had been wiped out.

In Spain, summer surveillance triggers alerts for returning jihadists

Authorities identified 46 suspected foreign terrorist fighters, but were unable to detain them

Between mid-July and mid-September, Spanish police monitoring travel across the Strait of Gibraltar detected 46 individuals suspected of being returning jihadists, according to a European Commission report. Part of a border control effort dubbed Operation Minerva, the 46 anti-jihadist alerts did not result in any arrests as there were no existing warrants against the suspects.

So, what's the point of border control? Did they stop them from entering? Not at all, by the look of it.
