FRANCE TACKLING JIHADISTS -- The French battle with Salafist jihadism is widening, though not well publicized overseas. Photo shows the cover of L'express magazine leading on the subject of Islam in France. (Dean Pictures via Newscom)

France's war with the jihadis is more intense than most Americans or even most Europeans would imagine.

With French troops engaging the Taliban in Afghanistan often coming under attack, jihadist cells have started targeting France as well as French presence in the Sahel, the north African Sahara.

In a recent interview with Parisian daily Le Figaro, French Interior Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie, provided significant revelations.

During a recent lecture tour of Europe I had the opportunity to meet with French defense and counterterrorism officials as well as with legislators, particularly members of the French National Assembly serving on the Afghanistan's committee.

According to Alliot Marie members of a terrorist group in Central Asia have recently been arrested in Mulhouse, in the east of France, where they were apparently undergoing military training.

This shows that active jihadist cells are indeed deploying inside France as they are inside many other Western European countries. The minister said: "I can tell you that 89 Islamic activists were arrested in France in 2007."

Asked about the recruitment factories Alliot Marie said, "French prisons are a place of privileged recruitment for Islamist radicals. It's one of my concerns. I come moreover to propose to my European counterparts to develop a handbook on Islamism in prison to inform security professionals on how to detect and prevent this type of recruitment."

France's prison system is not that different – in terms of incubator – from the United Kingdom or the United States.

The minister also indicated that "Certain problem areas in our suburbs also remain choice target for Salafist activities. The youth are then sent to theological education in the Muslim world and attend Koranic schools, like the madrassas of Pakistan, Egypt and Yemen."

France: Europe facing radicalization over the Web 286 Reads

A few months ago Bernard Squarcini the head of the DST (Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire), the French equivalent of the FBI, told the French daily Libération regarding Islamic radicalization: "An ideological transformation can be done in three months on the Web. An individual can at night auto-radicalize himself via the Web and get in touch with leaders of terrorist organizations." This assessment shows how dire the situation is in Europe when it comes to al-Qaida's use of the Web.

Al-Qaida uses the web for four different tasks: propaganda; communication, mostly to instruct those in the field; training future combatants, a kind of online university of terrorism; and to send messages to the enemy, mostly to the West.


For instance, one of the most popular jihadist sites in France is one which translates books on the jihad in French and gives lessons on urban guerilla tactics. (This site got more than 3 million visits from France alone). Another Web site explains how to get weapons in the West (hide, assemble and breakdown) and how to manufacture bombs from products found in supermarkets.


The propaganda primarily targets youngsters. Some of them join the virtual jihad or "webtifada", i.e. cyber criminality.


In March 2006, the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Exterieure), the French equivalent of the CIA, tracked down a forum where jihadists recruited hackers to destroy "infidels'" Web sites and government sites. The jihadists recommended: "If you can't slash their throats, then at least destroy their sites." And on May 15, 2006 the Metz, France police arrested a young man who, under the alias Yanis, had attacked 1,161 sites including 710 linked to the Muhammad cartoons controversy.


Fortunately in Europe, even though the number is growing only a minority is actually joining the virtual jihad. According to Louis Caprioli, ex-boss of the anti-terror unit of the DST, the number of French volunteers in Iraq is in the tens. Confirming this, expert Walter Akmouche states that statistically, to get one jihadi, you must contact an average 45,000 people.


Which vehicle do the jihadis use on the Web? According to the DST, the chat room Paltalk is regularly used to hide operations. They also use Instant Messaging services such as Messenger or Skype and "dead e-mail boxes" which allow them, with the username and password, to retrieve unsent messages. But they also exchange information and coded files on forums devoted to soccer, music or any topic totally unrelated to Islam.


It is important to note that to access true terrorist sites; one has to be an insider and needs to know the real number-coded URL address, which often changes.


Also after years of research, al-Qaida has developed software called "Secrets of Mujahedin," that allows secure exchange in Arabic on electronic networks. It has allegedly been in use for over a year on clandestine forums close to al-Qaida, especially for jihadist groups in Iraq and al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. This has been a formidable weapon for al-Qaida and numerous intelligence services and private companies have been trying to break it.


How is Europe facing this threat? First by closely monitoring jihadist Web sites. For instance, last year, Holland devoted 10 million euros (about $15 million) to fighting extremism. Thus, more than 150 Internet sites broadcasting extremist ideology were the subject of complaints and were restricted.


In France, about 30 potentially dangerous sites are monitored by some units of the UCLAT (Unité de Coordination de la Lutte antiterroriste), the French counterterrorism coordination unit. Software allows them to trace back the origin of a server or the IP address of a user and if they act fast, they can trace the network and use it against the Islamists using it. For instance, the recent monitoring of a forum allowed the unit to trace a couple of Salafist groups in the suburbs of Paris that were recruiting jihadis and organizing their trip.


One of the main problems facing European authorities is that simply shutting down Web sites is not very efficient since these sites just end up operating under new names.


European countries are also using the legal tool to fight al-Qaida's use of the Web in Europe. In a first, a Swiss court last summer sentenced several individuals including the widow of the killer of Ahmad Shah Massoud, Afghanistan's Northern Alliance's leader killed by al-Qaida on September 9, 2001, and her boyfriend, for having created and operated four Web sites and chat rooms for extremist propaganda and exchange of information by terrorist groups.


European authorities are taking this issue very seriously. On Feb. 1, France's interior minister, Michèle Alliot-Marie told the French daily Le Figaro that the use of the Web by terrorists was "one of my major concerns, and one of the priorities assigned to the [security] services. This requires additional material, forces specialized in fighting cyber-criminality, legal resources. I want us to be able to stop the terrorist propaganda, find the operational networks, track them down and prevent them from acting."

France: Al-Qaeda's "black widow": France to be punished 301 Reads

Monday, January 21, 2008 - 01:15 PM

PARIS, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Fatiha Mejjati, the "black widow" of Al-Qaeda warned recently that France would be the "target" of terrorism attacks and would be "punished soon," French daily Le Parisien reported on Monday.

Mejjati is the widow of Karim Mejjati, a French-Moroccan killed in April 2005 in Saudi Arabia. Karim had been suspected of masterminding the terrorism attack on March 11, 2004 in the Spanish capital Madrid that left 195 people dead.

In an exclusive interview with the daily, Mejjati, who now lives in the Moroccan city of Casablanca, said France would be "punished" for "its fidelity to the United States."

"France will no longer be set apart nor be protected", she said, adding French foreign policy is currently aligned with that of the United States and France's political independence in the period of former President Jacques Chirac no longer exists.

Referring to French President Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to Saudi Arabia, Mejjati said the trip was to sell arms to fight Muslims.

She also warned French troops should retreat from Afghanistan, otherwise they will be attacked in revenge.

After having arrested 14 terrorism suspects on Saturday, Spanish police warned France and the United Kingdom of attacks during the visit of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf.

Musharraf is on an eight-day visit to Europe, visiting Belgium, France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom from Jan. 20.

France: Militant threat on Eiffel Tower intercepted: source 294 Reads

Friday, January 11, 2008 - 01:00 AM

Fri Jan 11, 2008 1:27pm EST
LISBON (Reuters) - Portuguese air traffic authorities have intercepted a message describing a militant threat against the Eiffel Tower and have passed it to French authorities, a Portuguese source said on Friday.

"It is true we intercepted a conversation with terrorist threats to the Eiffel Tower yesterday," the source, who asked not to be named, told Reuters. "Our air force informed the French air force of this matter.

Paris police referred inquiries to the Eiffel Tower where nobody was immediately available for comment.

French daily Le Monde reported on Friday that intelligence services were tracking the authors of the message.

The newspaper said Portuguese air traffic authorities had intercepted a "vague and confused" short wave radio message on Thursday, according to a police source.

The French capital is already at its second highest security alert level and further public security measures would serve little purpose, Le Monde quoted police as saying.

"We've been at red for several months. It's the highest level before scarlet alert which is implemented when there are attacks," the local police headquarters told the newspaper.

The Eiffel Tower is one of France's best-known sights and welcomes millions of tourists each year.

Since it was built for the 1889 World Fair, over 230 million people have climbed its 1,665 steps or taken the elevators to admire the views from the top of the 324-metre (1,063 ft) high structure.

Several apparent threats against Paris and prominent personalities have also been identified on an Islamist website and are being taken seriously following the murder of four French tourists in Mauretania last month, French media said.

دعما للمجاهدين وتسهيلا لمهامهم # والفوائد الذهبية من ضرب باريس , عاصمة فرنسا الصليبية

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم




الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه ومن والاه




إخواني وأحبائي الإرهابيين حفظكم الله أوجه لكم سلامي




السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته ..




سنتكلم اليوم بكل موضوعية عن الأهمية الإستراتيجية والفوائد الذهبية من ضرب باريس , عاصمة فرنسا الصليبية ..



بعد تولي نيكولا ساركوزي صاحب الأصول المجرية لرئاسة فرنسا , وزير داخلية فرنسي سابق ورئيس حزب التجمع من أجل الحركة الشعبية الأكثر تطرفا تجاه المسلمين , وصاحب الأطماع في المغرب الإسلامي , ذو النزعة العنصرية .






وعليه قررت أن أقدم لكم تقريرا عن باريس وشرح مختصر عن المدينة وأهمية ضربها ..








سوف افتتح شرحي بتعريف موضوعي للعاصمة الفرنسية باريس واهم معالمها :




عاصمة دولة فرنسا وتنقسم إلى 20 منطقة(بلدية)وكل منطقة مقسمة بدورها إلى أربعة أقسام ويدير كامل المدينة عميد بلديتها(عمدة)،واثنان من المحافظين بمعانة المجلس العام. تقع باريس على نهر السين، بها مطاران دوليين هما:(أورللي ورواسي شارل ديجول)، النفق الشهير الذي يربط فرنسا بإنجلترا تحت بحر المانش والذى افتتح في 15 مايو1994 وتم عن طريقة سهولة السفر بالقطارات TGV الفائقة السرعة بين البلدين. يرجع اسم باريس الي قبيلة كلتية كانت أول من سكن المنطقة و تدعي باريسي parisii. تعرف باريس بأسم "مدينة الأنوار" (la Ville Lumière) و ذلك لأنها في عام 1828 كانت أول مدينة في أوروبا تضاء طرقاتها بمصابيح تعمل بالجاز. وتعد باريس ميناء نهري هام جداوتعد رابع أهم ميناء فرنسي (بعد مرسيليا والهافر ودنكرك).

نبدأ بعملية الشرح لمدى أهمية المعلومات السابقة :




تمثل هذه المعلومات التي تم جمعها عن طريق موقع الويبكيبيدا سلة مهمة من الأهداف المشروعة فهي تخفف على المجاهدين عملية اختيار الأهداف وتحديدها ومدى أهميتها .




ومن خلال هذه المعلومات نستطيع أن نقول بان باريس عاصمة مهمة رمزيا لاحتوائها على هذه المتاحف والمراكز من جهة , ولقوة خطوط النقل الجوي منها واليها .




فمطار شارل ديجول الموجود في باريس والذي يعد من أقوى واهم المطارات ويصنف حسب الموقع كخامس أهم المطارات يبرز لنا أن باريس ليست عاصمة رمزية وحسب بل هي عاصمة تجارية أوروبية ضخمة تعتمد عليها رؤوس الأموال , ولمجرد حدوث أي طارئ فيها, و لك أن تحدد أخي المجاهد كم من الانهيارات الاقتصادية التي سوف تدمر والصفقات التي ستنهار لمجرد حدوث خلل امني ما .




هذا من جهة



ومن جهة ثانية بشريا يبقى عمدة باريس هدف مشروعا أيضا لأنه يمثل مشروع إعلاميا يكسر شوكة ساركوزي لو تم التخلص منه .




وعليه تقسم العمليات إلى قسمين قصم مادي : تستهدف الأماكن الأكثر شعبية وأكثر اهمية اقتصاديا كما صنفت من قبل



وقسم ثان : يستهدف شخصيات " باريسية " مرموقة على رئسها عمدة باريس .







الفائــــدة :






1- الانهيار الاقتصادي الفرنسي الذي سيتولد عنه ضعف فرنسي على المستوى العالمي .



2- لجم وإخراس ساركوزي وإيقاف أطماعه المستمرة في المغرب الإسلامي .



3- إيقاد حالة الغليان في فرنسا ضد هذا الكافر الحقير و خفض جماهيريته .



4- إعطاء درس للدول الأوروبية المحيطة وعلى الأخص , ألمانيا ,وكل من شارك في الحرب على بلاد المسلمين .



5- إيجاد حالات من الذعر بين أبناء العواصم الأوروبية تحسبا لضربات مماثلة قد يتعرضون لها في حالة استمرار بلدانهم في المشاركة في الحرب على الإسلام .


6- إيجاد حالة من السخط الاجتماعي على الفئة الحاكمة في حال فقد المجتمع الباريسي أهم رموزه تاريخيا وحاليا .
7- خروج بيان يتحدث عن ان اسباب الغزوة يعود لسياسة فرنسا ودعمها للطواغيت ومشاركتها في الحرب على الاسلام سيحطم ساركوزي وسياسته تحطيما كاملا .
8- ورود احوال المسلمين وما يتعرضون اليه من تمييز في فرنسا كاحد مسببات الغزوات سيعمل على فك الطوق الامني المفروض على عكس ما يتوقع الجميع , في محاولة لحل المشكلة , مما يوجد مساحات واسعة لاقامة الخلاية الفاعلة والنائمة وانطلاقها لمهامها في عواصم محيطة .


هذا تقريري ووجهة نظري للفائدة الإستراتيجية التي ستحقق في حال تم استهداف باريس وغزوها بعملية او عمليات متنوعة .


من اراد الاعتراض او النقاش على وفي الموضوع ليشارك فيه بكل موضوعية


و من يتمكن من ايصالها للمجاهدين في بلاد المغرب الاسلامي اسأل الله ان يجزيه كل خير
