Brussels attack: 10 suspects arrested in 3 countries

March 25, 2016 By administrator

brussels.thumbTen more suspects have been arrested in three European countries as police step up efforts to prevent further attacks after the Brussels bombings.

Seven were detained in Brussels, two reportedly in Germany and one in Paris, BBC News reports.

An investigation is continuing into Tuesday’s bomb attacks, which killed 31 people in Brussels and have been linked to November’s Paris attacks.

At least two explosions were reported in the Schaerbeek suburb of Brussels as a police operation continues.

Media reports said a man had been “neutralised” during the operation, and an area near Meiser square was sealed off by heavily armed police and military vehicles.

Schaerbeek is one of the districts where arrests were carried out on Thursday.

US Secretary of State John Kerry, visiting Brussels, said that so-called Islamic State (IS) would be destroyed.

Standing alongside Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, he expressed condolences for the victims and solidarity with Belgium, declaring “Je suis Bruxellois”.

The Western alliance would continue its fight to destroy IS, Mr Kerry said.

“We will not be intimidated. We will not be deterred.”

Ladislas Ntaganzwa’s arrest in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2015 came more than two decades after the genocide. He was flown from Kinshasa to Kigali to face trial three months after his arrest.

Rwandan authorities said they would try the 53-year old former mayor on nine counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and violating the Geneva Conventions with charges concretely referring to his participation in the planning and execution of a massacre of more than 20,000 Tutsis over a four-day period.

Rwandan authorities say Ladislas Ntaganzwa personally gave the order for a massacre in Cyahinda Parish on April 15, 1994, and then incited others to kill those who tried to escape.

“We are very happy to see this effected,” said Jean-Bosco Siboyintore, head of Rwanda’s Genocide Fugitive Tracking Unit. Until his arrest, Ntaganzwa remained one of nine top fugitive Rwandan genocide suspects.

Ntaganzwa had a $5 million (4.6 million euros) US bounty on his head, having already been indicted by a UN-backed court for genocide and crimes against humanity.

Breaking News: France:Chief Suspect in Paris Attacks Died in Raid, France Says

November 19, 2015 By administrator

20Paris-web2-master180Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Belgian militant suspected of having orchestrated the Paris terrorist attacks was killed in a police raid in the northern Paris suburb of St.-Denis early Wednesday, the French authorities announced on Thursday.
The death of the plot’s alleged ringleader ended one chapter of the intense criminal investigation that began on Friday night, when three teams of terrorists, in a series of closely coordinated raids, killed 129 people.
But many questions remained unanswered: how Mr. Abbaoud planned and organized the attacks; whether the Islamic State is planning additional attacks outside of its stronghold in Syria and Iraq; and the identities of several of the attackers.
Also on Thursday, the Belgian police conducted their own sweep in Brussels on Thursday.
Seven raids are being conducted in Brussels in relation to Bilal Hadfi, one of the dead Paris attackers, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor said, adding that the houses of Mr. Hadfi’s friends and relatives were being searched. One person has been detained for questioning.

Thai police claim Bangkok bombing suspect fled to Turkey

BANGKOK – The Associated Press

A key suspect in last month’s bombing at a Bangkok shrine that killed 20 people has fled to Turkey, Thai police said on Sept. 14.

Police had previously said the man, carrying a Chinese passport in the name Abudureheman Abudusataer, may have directed the Aug. 17 bombing of the Erawan Shrine. Investigations revealed that he left Thailand on Aug. 16 for Bangladesh, and police speculated that he might have gone to China.

However, national police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri said that information gathered by Thai police and Bangladeshi officials showed that the man departed Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, on Aug. 30 and traveled to Istanbul as his final destination, via New Delhi and Abu Dhabi.

“He departed Dhaka on Aug. 30 for Delhi by Jet Airways,” Prawut said. “From Delhi, he continued his travel to Abu Dhabi, and from Abu Dhabi he traveled on Aug. 31 to Istanbul. This is his final destination. It’s clear.”

This bolstered the theory that those behind the blast are Uighurs from the Chinese region of Xinjiang who have close ties to Turkey.

After weeks of demurring, Thailand has suggested that those behind the blast may have been from a gang involved in smuggling Uighurs. But others speculate they may be separatists or Islamist extremists angry that Thailand repatriated more than 100 Uighurs to China in July.

Uighurs complain of oppression by the Chinese government, and some advocate turning Xinjiang into a separate Uighur state.

Thai efforts to identify the members of the network believed responsible for the bombing continued on Sept. 13, when police in Bangkok raided an apartment that they suspected was linked to a bombing suspect. Police said no bomb-making materials were found in the apartment, which is in a building that serves as a hostel for women. Thai media reported that the two women tenants and a guest were taken away for questioning.

Two other key suspects are also in custody, charged with possession of illegal explosives. One of them was captured from an apartment on the outskirts of Bangkok where police also discovered bomb-making material.

The other was caught near the border between Thailand and Cambodia, and police said his fingerprints were found on a container with explosive material confiscated from the apartment.

Also on Sept. 14, Malaysia’s police chief announced that a Pakistani and two Malaysians have been detained in connection with the Bangkok bombing.

Inspector General Khalid Abu Bakar told reporters that the three were detained a few days ago following a tip-off by Thai authorities. He said one of the Malaysians is a woman.

Among those who died in the blast were five Malaysians from one family. Many of the victims were foreigners as the shrine is a popular destination for tourists and Thais alike.

Khalid did not give details or say where in Malaysia the three were detained, when they will be formally charged, or what the charges would be. He said Malaysian police will investigate and work with Thai authorities on the detainees.

Thai police say the man who may have actually planted the bomb may have fled across Thailand’s southern border to Malaysia, but Khalid refused to speculate on that.

Prawut, the Thai police spokesman, said his department had told the Malaysians that some suspects might have escaped to Malaysia.

Malaysian police then investigated and arrested suspects who are allegedly involved in illegal human smuggling and they might have some information, Prawut said.

“However, we haven’t had any confirmation. … As a preliminary step, they have arrested suspects who are allegedly involved in illegal human smuggling. Whether they are involved in our bombing incident or not we will have to wait and see,” he said.

Turkey mafia paid to smuggle Paris suspect into Syria: Sources

January 20, 2015 By administrator

c39ce6c4-aa12-4e5a-8e96-20cb2722add2A mafia gang in Turkey was paid “tens of thousands of dollars” by the ISIL terrorists to smuggle a female suspect in Paris terror attack into Syria, Turkish intelligence sources say. Report Presstv

On Saturday, British Daily Mirror cited Turkish intelligence sources as saying that the mafia gangsters had received the large sum of money from the ISIL terror group to transfer Hayat Boumeddiene to Syria after she fled France and arrived on Turkey’s soil.

Boumeddiene is suspected of being involved in a hostage-taking drama at a supermarket in Paris.

According to the British daily, the 26-year-old woman had met with two members of the mafia gang upon her arrival at the Sabiha Gokcen airport in the Turkish city of Istanbul.

The ISIL had tasked the Turkish gangsters with ensuring Boumeddiene’s safety and her accomplice as they sneaked into the ISIL-controlled area of Syria, the sources said.

Upon her arrival in Turkey, Boumeddiene, was instructed by the mafia members to head for Turkey’s southeastern border town of Sanliurfa, where she was met again by the smugglers.

“We know a certain amount from phone records. She was communicating with two smugglers in Istanbul,” a security source was quoted as saying, adding, “They organized for her travel to Sanliurfa. We believe she travelled by bus or car. She crossed the border on the day of the attacks in Paris.”

The female suspect later traveled on foot across the border into Syria from Tal Abyad, another Turkish border town.

Turkish security sources said earlier this month that Boumeddiene had fled France and entered the country on January 2 before the recent spate of violence in Paris, and she was now believed to be in Syria.

She is said to be the wife of Amedy Coulibaly, the gunman who was killed after anti-terror units stormed the grocery shop in the eastern Porte de Vincennes area of the French capital. Officials say four hostages were also killed during the raid.

Coulibaly and Boumeddiene are also said to be responsible for the fatal shooting of a policewomen in southern Paris on January 8.

In a posthumous video, Coulibaly claimed he was acting on behalf of the ISIL Takfiri group.
