BAD ASS, DOUBLE AGENT, PATSY OR CYPHER?
Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, Belgian, the social network jihadi, is the alleged operational commander of 11/13.
First time in Syria: only two years ago. Caliph Ibrahim is supposed to have delegated to him the task of forming French-speaking “soldiers” to wreak jihad in Europe.
European intel agencies seem to know everything about Abaaoud. He even spent time in jail in 2010 in Belgium for breaking and entering. His companion: Salah Abdesalam, 26, one of the presumed Paris jihadis, still on the run, and maybe holed up in St. Denis as we speak.
Only three months ago anti-terrorist judge Marc Trevidic learned about Abaaoud via an arrested would-be jihadi, Reda H., who acknowledged having received a 6-day (that’s not much…) training enabling him to carry attacks in France. Reda H, got instructions to connect himself with encrypted forums and received 2.000 euros directly from Abaaoud.
The social network jihadi – who used FB to qualify himself as a “terrorist tourist” - openly ridiculed Belgian intel with a return trip to Syria earlier this year.
He was also in Syria last month (see previous post). He may be in St. Denis right now – not only masterminding 11/13 but also staying behind afterwards for, supposedly, extra ops.
He fooled the whole Western intel apparatus – again. Either he’s the Jihadi Batman or Western intel, NSA included, well, feel free to enshrine your own definition.
