Family, friends and a network of petty criminals, rather than Islamic State (Isis), hid Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam in the Molenbeek neighbourhood of Belgian capital Brussels over the course of a four-month international manhunt, French and Belgian officials have said.
Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris, where 130 were killed in the November 2015 attacks, has said she believed the community of Molenbeek had "undoubtedly protected" Abdeslam.
Speaking on French radio, Hidalgo said the investigation into how Abdeslam had evaded police capture, despite an intensive international manhunt, would show "family support networks" and petty criminals had hidden the Belgian national in the aftermath of the Paris attacks. She added that these kinds of closed-off communities needed to be combatted. Hidalgo said not only had the Paris attackers been protected by their neighbours and friends, but doubtless many others.
"I don't think Daesh [Islamic State] is giving orders 24 hours a day. That would make it too easy for us," the prosecutor said, using the Arabic acronym used to describe IS. "People work freelance," he added.
Abdeslam is accused of being a member of an IS cell that killed 130 people in a series of coordinated shootings and bombing in Paris on 13 November. The suspect was captured during a massive police raid in the Molebeek district of Brussels days after his fingerprints were found at another flat in the city.
An alleged accomplice named Monir Ahmed Alaaj, also known as Amine Choukri, was also wounded and arrested, along with three members of the family hiding them, who have been identified as Abid Aberkan, Sihane Aberkan and Djemila M.
I’m a Trump supporter but this makes Cruz along with Trump Both right! Neighborhoods must be monitored and send them all back till we can figure this out! Meaning they NEVER come back here!
A prime example of....
Islam is the sea in which the terrorist shark swims. It aids and comforts the shark on it’s journey. The deeper the sea the larger the shark can grow.
Need another hero like Charles Martel to rid France of the putrid filth called Islam.
Level their houses.. For starters.
All receiving state welfare benefits I'm sure. Punching a time clock really dampens the interest in Jihad.
We were like that with Mexicans growing up. You could be friendly with them but you knew not to count them as friends.
It has changed somewhat with assimilation because most Mexicans are Christian and don’t want to kill us.
Don't have to wreck what are probably many nice areas. Simply go house to house and evict everybody. First ask if they wish to convert or renounce Islam. When they say no, pack them in the large truck-van with all the other Muslims and then down to the dock to be shipped out.
Anybody dressed in Muslim garb is automatically ousted with a little more latitude give to females. Females are usually held hostage by moronic Muslim males.
Which is why Trump said we should go after Islamic terrorists’ families.
They know. They always know.
Of course they protect their own.....the area was a no go zone so these become Jihadist Communities entire ...”protected Communities” so to speak.
Until leaders recognize they cannot control the Muslim populations by offering them communities within communites to govern themselves......the Jihadists will continue to have a strong foothold in Europe and eventually the USA.
Bingo.
I guarantee any one of us would turn in our brother or son if we found out that they killed 130 people. To do nothing would be to provide consent.
This community not only knew he hiding in their neighborhood, they APPROVED of what he did. This is a very troubling idea...
The community of Molenbeek needs to be destroyed.
You are either with us or against us
The mayor of Paris seems to have a realistic understanding of Islamic culture. A good Muslim would never rat out a brother Muslim to the infidels. It’s pretty much as simple as that, but American elites are incapable of comprehending it.
This is 21, Fire Mission, over!
Sounds right. Level the homes and deport the families and friends ALL! Do it over and over and over.
I read somewhere that the Belgian police cannot make raids between 9PM and 6AM. Not sure if true, but it would fit, in general.
Hell, yes. Isolation cuts down on proseltyzing. Here in the US, we practically encourage Muslim proseltyzing, and criminals are particularly susceptible to the message.
hat is never mentioned is that the onus to participate in Jihad or holy war is a command and obligation of the community; not just an individual. Therefore when one is not able to fight physically they are obligated to help in some other fashion that is more like a support role. Impossible o ferret out the bad ones or trust people of this community.
A Fahrenheit 451!!! Bradbury celebration is certainly called for here.
Are these the “moderate Muslims” that we keep hearing about?
