FREED TO KILL One-armed ISIS warlord behind Istanbul massacre ‘was due to be sent to Russia on terror charges… but court ruled it breached his human rights’

Chechen extremist Akhmed Chataev is thought to control as many as 130 ISIS militants

BY FIONN HARGREAVES 1st July 2016, 4:49 pm

A ONE-ARMED ISIS militant who masterminded the Istanbul airport terror attack had his extradition to Russia refused because of his refugee status.

Akhmed Chataev was arrested in Bulgaria in 2011 for terrorism offences.

But due to a ruling by a Bulgarian judge, the Chechen warlord could not be sent back because he was a registered refugee in Austria.

Chataev was detained by Turkish police today on suspicion of being part of an ISIS cell that masterminded the attack on an Istanbul airport.

He was taken into custody along with 11 foreigners after three suicide bombers killed 43 and injured hundreds on Tuesday evening.

Arrested in NATO ally Bulgaria and let go? Sounds like this ISIS warlord is a CIA black ops asset.

Trump is right, our leaders are stupid.

Or they have something else in mind

Obama and Hillary sure better hope none of Obama’s Gitmo releases show up in any of these terrorist acts.

Register as refugee in western country, THEN feel free to go operate abroad as a terrorist.

Very slick.

Noted.

[gaijin]

And we’re about to to take in thousands and thousands of these...?

We’ll be a terrorist base, more or less.

A terrorist springboard, but nationally, not just Minnesota.

Or they have something else in mind ---------------------------------- Seems he was a NATO/CIA asset against the Russians? http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/07/01/mastermind-of-istanbul-airport-attack-had-been-georgian-informant-official-says.html?via=mobile&source=twitter The day after at least 43 people were killed and more than 235 injured in a terrorist attack on Istanbul’s international airport, Turkish officials announced the arrest of the alleged mastermind behind the attack: Akhmed Chatayev, an ethnic Chechen from Russia who, in the past, had traveled extensively in Ukraine, Austria and Georgia. Here in the Black Sea port of Odessa, in Ukraine, Police Chief Gen. Giorgi Lortkipanidze knows all about Chatayev. The general used to be the deputy interior minister in Georgia, and for a while, he says, had Chatayev on the government payroll. “A few years ago I recruited Chatayev, who was a good informer and negotiator between us and Islamist underground of the Northern Caucasus; with his help we prevented several terrorist attacks on Georgia,” Gen. Lortkipanidze told The Daily Beast in an exclusive interview on Friday.

Every time I hear a POS complain about his human rights it really bothers me. What about the human rights of those he killed?

Where’s PUTIN when you need him?

Actually our leaders are the terrorists. There can be no other explanation.

I read a few days ago that some ex-GITMO detainees had slipped away from where they were supposed to be and ended up in Brazil. Apparently, they are still at large. Say, aren’t the next Olympics in Brazil?

My wife works as a manager at a company which uses staff from World Relief. Most are from North African countries. She noticed they all share the same birthday. Every last one is born on January 1st. Any questions?

Yup, next month.
