French report that Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed in raid yesterday
According to Fox News, French prosecutors report that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the fellow who planned the Paris terrorist attack last week, was among the terrorists killed yesterday in law enforcement raids.
Abaaoud had claimed he successfully moved back and forth from Europe to Syria coordinating terror attacks, and narrowly escaped a January police raid in the Belgian city of Verviers. “Allah blinded their vision and I was able to leave… despite being chased after by so many intelligence agencies,” he told the ISIS magazine Dabiq.
Police say they launched Wednesday’s operation after receiving information from tapped phone calls, surveillance and tipoffs suggesting that Abaaoud was holed up in the apartment. Eight other people were arrested.
I have to think that there was some sort of intelligence on the fellow from before the raid. Just like the intelligence that the French used in their bombing raids against ISIS days after the attack. Obviously, law enforcement knows who and where these people are, but law enforcement can only do something after the attack, whereas the military can do something about them before hand, while they’re still in training in the ISIS hinterlands. Abaaoud traveled freely to Syria for his training and no one did anything. Until it was too late.

I guess no one has thought about preventive measures.
It does little good to kill off the cockroaches you see scurrying along the baseboard. You have to poison the nest to get rid of them.
I guess allah was pissed at the arrogant little shythead! now he forfeits his 72 virgins and gets 3 ugly goats!
Careful, Jonn. The left will be on you for advocating “murder” if you keep suggesting that we should attack our enemies overseas before they can come here and kill us.
After all, “everyone knows” we can all just get along if we try hard enough – right?
Yeah, right. And I’m the freaking rightful Romanov Tsar, too.
No, Hondo … *I’m* the rightful Romanov tsar. You’re Hondo.
What, you don’t like the sound of “Tsar Hondo”?
Nah, neither do I. I don’t speak enough Russian. And I royally hate cold weather. (smile)
I heard through channels (open source), he had blue eyes, one blew left and other blew right.
Thanks Master Chief….sometimes someone says something in the morning and you just know it is going to be a great day.
Since I can’t pronounce his fuchtd up name, I will henceforth refer to him as “‘Ol Blue Eyes”.
Well, at least Frank’s not around to beat you up for using his nickname.
Adios, fuckhead!
I’d say that I hope you’re getting buttfucked with a jackhammer in Hell, but you’d probably like it.
Good riddance to the goat-fucking piece of vermin. His remains need to be mixed with pig innards from a slaughterhouse and buried face down facing away from mecca!
I suppose Allah restored the French’s vision (and ensured their aim was true).
No, don’t you see that by killing him, this will only encourage more acts of terrorism? His death will be avenged. The bombing in Syria will likewise encourage terrorism, don’t you see? Calling a halt to the influx of “refugees” until each is thoroughly examined for links to terrorism also encourages terrorism. And while I’m at it, the prominence of churches and crosses and religious statues and creches, not to mention displaying Old Glory, all encourage terrorism. So, let’s try harder to appreciate the other side’s perspective, maybe concede a few things, and make this world a safer place. Whaddaya say?
Me say you believe that you heap full bull dung, Keemosabe. (smile)
2/17 Air Cav, you really have to stop smoking that crap. It’s turning your brain to powder.
So far no takers, I see. No one is with me. Well, there is always Lars.
I’m all in! A guy can only click on Koala Swimwear links so much….
I thought the links were for midget stripper pron????
for the record I am glad he is dead.
There is a gush difference between killing these pieces of shit and declaring war on all Muslims because of the actions of these pieces of shit.
Declaring war on 1.6 billion Muslims because the actions of ISIS is fucking asinine. And every single person who advocates it without exception is a complete mouth breathing fuckwit.
Hell just not even understanding the difference between killing members of ISIS and declaring war on all Muslims is a fucking moron.
Well, looking at it logically and dispassionately, Lars, if only ISIS members are killed, then other terrorists groups will fill the void. But if all Muslims are killed, there won’t be any Muslims left to become terrorists.
So you want to start a war with 1.6 billion Muslims.
Including the extermination of 2.6 million Americans?
You are an absolute piece of shit.
You are literally the exact same kind of person as Abdelhamid Abaaoud. Exactly the same type if piece of shit religious extremist as he was.
Jeepers, Lars. How did you ever score well enough on the GRE to be admitted to any graduate program. Where in my post do I advocate such a thing as you suggest? Where in post did I inject my view at all? It is a matter of logic, sans passion, that I wrote about. Now, if you want to disagree with the logic, you go right ahead, but omit the value judgments. Jeez. You really are a piece of work, Lars.
C’mon, 2/17 Air Cav. You know that recognizing satire and hyperbole is apparently beyond the lad’s capabilities.
He is so stuck, a gallon of WD-40 couldn’t move him. Yet, he fancies himself an intellectual and a wise man. Jeez.
HEY JIFFY-POO, so just how many members of ISIS are Christian, Jewish, Buhddist, Hindu or Atheist? Think long and hard, kid!!
Well, not all Germans were Nazis, but at the beginning of Hitler’s war, all Nazis were Germans. At the end of WWII, in that ‘guilt by association’ thing, all Germans were held responsible for what the Nazis did.
And then, there were the Khmer Rouge. You were either with them or you were dead.
Fanaticism knows no boundaries and pays no respects to ideological differences, which we saw with the Bolsheviks, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, the Kim family, Boko Haram, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
If anyone like Lars is stupid enough to believe that fanaticism cannot infect an entire populace, as it repeatedly has thru history, then he should turn in his academia ties and find something else to do with his time.
A fanatic is a fanatic. He may look like your next door neighbor, but he is still a fanatic.
So, when can we expect another bombing in New York City, once the fanatics slip through the cracks? And they will do exactly that. How about another Kristallnacht, only this time, it’s against Americans and anyone who doesn’t knuckle under?
If you think it won’t happen, go see a shrink. How many times does it have to happen before it sinks in that it can and will happen here?
LARS, SHUT THE FUCK UP. You just do not have a clue.
You have 2/17 can advocating exterminating 2.6 million American Muslims, and you guys think ISIS is the only one who are like Nazis?
“You have 2/17 can advocating…” WTF is that mess, genius? I need a restatement or a transaltion. Also, while I’m at it, what’s this “you guys think” business? Let me count the number of commenters who invoked the NAZIs. I get one. what do you get, Lars?
Godwin’s Law, anyone?
Man, it’s not even Miller time yet and Godwin’s already been invoked. Dammit.
Yes, and I was only invoking those population exterminators in recent memory, too. He entirely missed Stalin, Pol Pot, and the Kims. He must have that reading comprehension disorder called ‘I only see what I want to see’.
So let’s put that in its proper perspective, just for gits and shiggles. Pol Pot’s ideology was adopted by the Khmer Rouge and used as an excuse to torture and exterminate just under 2 million native Cambodians. It was thorough, it was merciless, and it was exactly on the same methodology as ISIS: kill it and throw it away, into a ditch, or whatever, but kill it off.
As I recall, the Nazis did exactly the same thing; round people up, put them into mass transport, unload them and exterminate them in various ways. If I recall some of the stuff I pulled up on that part of history, some Jews were burned alive, but that was a while back so I don’t recall the source right now. As it is, they were slaughtered, just as Pol Pot’s fanatic Khmer Rouge slaughtered native Cambodians. In Stalin’s case, it was anyone who was even vaguely suspected of dissension against his reign. The mass graves that are still being dug up were his work. 23,000,000 Russian/Soviet citizens, all slaughtered just because.
No, I see no difference between any of them and ISIS. I see no difference between Hitler’s youth movement and recruiting useless twits like this Abaaoud. The Brown Shirts then are ISIS youth now. There is NO difference. A fanatic is a fanatic.
‘I only see what I want to see’. He goes a step further and sees what no one else can see, because it’s not there to be seen. He creates straw men to satisfy his urgent and essential need to make a point. He then smiles, I imagine, as he reads over his senseless, robotic comments and feels valuable. “Yes,” he must say aloud to himself, “I have struck a blow for the cause! I am good. I showed them.”
Those who view the world through race-colored glasses see racists everywhere – whether they’re really there or not.
Some variant of that seems apropos here.
I am tired of arguing with bigoted pieces of shit like you. You want to wage war on 1.6 billion people based ENTIRELY on their religion belief.
That is fucking sick. That is no different that what ISIS is doing. You are the same.
Go fuck yourself. Piece of shit.
Ah, looks like it was worth feeding the carp this fine morning. Thanks for the laughs, Lars. By the way, I never really took you seriously. I couldn’t, but it was fun playing along. Oh, and watch that language. It’s not nice.
I’ll be damned if the lad didn’t swallow the bait and take you seriously, 2/17 Air Cav.
That does demonstrate an appalling degree of gullibility.
Yeah, that was the corn and the carp swallowed heartily. He’s too easy.
… one with the universe, nothing matters…

Same here. No Go at this station.
I can’t watch it, either, but that’s okay. Hockey comes up this weekend.
Bummer. I am on my phone…can’t find it on youtube
This?

When that groups basic tenant is extermination of everyone not like them then there is only one end state.
Them or us.
I tried to be helpful Mr. Taylor. I even demonstrated that your insistence to over reach makes you easily manipulated.
I am afraid you are just constitutionally incapable of grasping the concept of civility.
Your continual diatribes that contain such vitriolic responses bore me. You lack the common decency and humility to carry on a debate.
I have no recollection of calling you a piece of shit, rapist, idiot, felon, or for you to fuck yourself.
Your adolescent anger response is benign enough in person, slightly annoying online.
May I suggest the following information might be useful:

Don’t take the brown acid.
Or eat the yellow snow. (smile)
HEY LARS, yeah you, ‘lil jiffy-poo sugarbritches! The Tsarnev brothers were classified as “refugees” and look at what they did! This wave of people fleeing the ME is perfect cover for terrorists to get into CONUS. If I had a bin of 10,000 gumballs and 100 of them were poisonous, how many would you feel safe about taking and chewing?
So… you’re leaving us again, right?
Don’t toy with me, white boi.
No, I am just done arguing with idiots like you.
If I have something to add I will post it, but I am done debating. I have to have at least a minimum amount of respect for someone to try to persuade them of my position.
Advocating a war on 1/4 of the population of the planet, and 3 million Americans, based on their religious belief makes you a moron beyond reason.
You are a religious extremist.
And don’t hide behind you faux Buddhism to claim you are not a religious extremist. Buddhist do not advocate a war on 1/4 of the world’s population.
1.6 billion is NOT a quarter of the planet’s population. It is several percentage points UNDER a quarter of the total population.
Wrong again!
Next!
I guess they don’t focus on math at Berkeley, eh?
No, and not on reading comprehension, either.
WOW Ex-PH2, you’re a lot of things! A while ago you were a lesbian along with the other Ladies of TAH®™, now you’re a Buhddist Nun according to this brainiac/chew toy, HOW DO YOU DO IT? 😀
As Belthazor would say, “It’s a gift.”
Well, there was that Land of the Rising Sun place.
But, we slaughtered them in mass so they are no more.
Yeah, they really mellowed out after being nuked twice in a few days!
I heartily advocate bombing Raqqa until the rubble hops like an Outkast concert and salting the dust when it’s all over.
Eliminate the cause, watch the symptoms disappear. Jihadis are subhuman, and as such, don’t deserve human decency. Or are you gonna try and play the “you’re a bigot” card on me again?
Hey, Ex-PH2 – when did you become a Buddhist nun? (smile)
Methinks Taylor the Infallible just goofed. Yet again.
I have no idea. I have to go speak to the Dalai Lama about this. I have yet to sit the zazen or even contemplate anything more important than what to have for lunch. Definitely not a Buddhist. Not me, but I wouldn’t mind doing the pilgrimage thing, as long as I can take my camera. I hear the scenery is quite lovely in the winter.
But I have to ask, just where did I advocate the extermination of anything other than a nest of cucarachas?
But I have to ask, just where did I advocate the extermination of anything other than a nest of cucarachas?
In the mind of Taylor the Infallible, of course. He said you did, so it must be true!
Exactly. Thank you.
There can be only two Hondos.
John Wayne is the other one.
In regard to Buddhism, Shaolin monks were some of the fiercest warriors ever invented. There is a growing hatred of Buddhists by Muslims, and violent acts committed against Buddhists by Muslims, in southern Thailand.
Here we go: Thais who are Buddhists are encouraged by the Thai government to arm themselves against Muslim extremists and shoot back.

Amid the growing sectarian violence in southern Thailand, the Or Ror Bor have become essentially a militia force. Scroll down to page 19.

For someone whose so-called specialty was ‘intelligence’, Lars has an enormous level of real understanding. But then, he DID say “I’m dumb.” (His words, not mine.)
Sorry, I forgot to add the /sarc tag to that. My bad.
You notice how the Germans and Japanese have been nice and quiet and domesticated since 1945? Well, the reason for that is twofold. One, we built them back up after the war and l, especially compared with Versailles, were quite generous with postwar terms. Two, we and our allies punished the ever-loving SHIT out of them during the war. Both countries were utterly ruined. Cities burned to the ground. Harbors choked with shipwrecks. Hundreds of thousands of civilians dead. Their people were made to clearly understand who was responsible for bringing the nightmare down upon them.
Thus, two of the most warlike cultures on Earth were pacified, and have remained so to this day.
Don’t know why the fucking autocorrect put an “I” in there before Versailles. Fucking iPhone…
Then keep shooting until there is no one left to avenge them!! SIMPLE, SAY WHAT?
Under French law if they knew where he was they could have arrested him before he did something. It only require intention to commit terrorism to be arrested. And intention was met when he went to Syria for training. Which they knew he had done.
They had even previously targeted him with airstrikes.
The intelligence of his whereabout was not specific. They conducted over 200 raids in Europe looking for him and other suspects. And the raid on his location was no even among the First 100 places they checked.
Sounds to me like your blaming the victims. Lars. It’s a damn good thing our bureaucrats, including the DOJ/DHS clerks, are so much better than the Frogs’s bureaucrats. That won’t happen here. Besides, the NYC Police commish just said, believe it or not, that the NYPD will protect you, if you travel to NYC for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or for Christmas. And I thought the police were only interested in killing innocent people. Now, of all things, even “BlackLivesMatter” protesters expect police protection. Crazy world.
You’re vs. Your. Your won.
“Sounds to me like your blaming the victims”
Because you have severe comprehension issues. I am saying they did not know where he was. In response to this statement in the main post;
“I have to think that there was some sort of intelligence on the fellow from before the raid. Just like the intelligence that the French used in their bombing raids against ISIS days after the attack. Obviously, law enforcement knows who and where these people are…”
Actually, your comment above was both verbose and unclear. The original could be taken as saying the French should have known his whereabouts, but did not – and were therefore partly to blame.
If you want to say something like “they didn’t know where he was”, then state that outright. Don’t cloud the issue by using nebulous, unclear phrasing.
By the way: since you’re stating that the French did not know the guy’s whereabouts, does that mean you have connections with DGSI and/or French LE who divulged that fact to you? If not, you’re speculating about whether the French knew Abaaoud’s whereabouts – not stating fact.
Another equally valid thesis is that (1) DGSI and/or French LE was monitoring Abaaoud to locate his conspirators, but (2) had not yet determined who his conspirators were at the time of the attack, and that (3) Abaaoud escaped surveillance in the immediate aftermath of the attack. Without someone in DGSI or French LE cluing you in to reality, you have no idea which is true – if either.
Think, lad – think. Preferably before you type.
There you go, Lars, blaming the victims again. It is not the fault of the reader of your comments if he is unable to discern your intended message. Your confused thinking results in garbled writing. The consequence is that what you believe you conveyed and what you conveyed are not one and the same thing. It’s as if one who reads only English is tasked with understanding that which is written in another language and the writer (in this case, you) then derides the reader for his failure to understand the words written. That said, you do have instances of absolute clarity, but they are limited to comments such as “fuck you,” “fuck everyone,” “Go fuck yourself. Piece of shit” and similar pleasantries that you have expressed here. You are truly a sterling representative of the Left. Keep up the fine work.
Our propaganda people need to saturate social media with the fact he didn’t go down as a heroic martyr. He died like a little bitch when his cousin – wife blew herself up.
Yeah that’s how we end up with the widows and orphans oBaMa and the other progressive/marxist/commie bastards refer to regarding refugees. Mommy and Daddy just blew themselves up. Poor lil’ orphan.
Where’s that link that Old Trooper posted the other day, that Godsmack song– “CRYING LIKE A BITCH!”
I know. I know. I saw the sign not to feed Lars but I just couldn’t help myself. He’s like a pond carp that comes over to receive the corn you just bought from the dispenser. You just gotta feed ’em.
Well, at least you admit to your sins. I’m going to spend some time making cookies and trying to get the Skywatch radio telescope started up. Let me know if the world ends, wouldja?
I am one with the universe. I am one with the universe…
Well, that makes two of us who are one. Wait…
If I did not have the two of you combined, my life would be just one long movie marathon on weekends.
I am a leaf on the wind… wait, wrong universe
That one did not turn out so well for the person quoted.
Note to self: Buy more citronella candles. They really work.
Try garlic and a cross instead. (smile)
If we somehow got our hands on a bottle of absinthe, we could spike whatever it is he drinks, too. Then he’d spend a good deal of his time speaking to whatever it is he sees in the driver’s mirror in his car.
I’m guessing he already does that, Ex-PH2.
If he has a car, that is. Berkeley is expensive, and he might have had to get rid of his ride while attending to reduce expenses and/or pay the bills.
IF he has a set of wheels? Lars strikes me as the type you’d see riding a moped or driving either a Smart Car or Prius, those little things that make crunchy noises like turtles do when you run over one in a pickup or SUV! 😀
I hear he drives a gas guzzler but parks it a distance from his apartment and, of course, protest gatherings, in order to avoid the Green Venom. I also hear he tells people he takes the bus and train. He gets lib points that way.
I could pull up behind a Prius in my coupe and just rev it, and watch it piss its transmission fluid all over the pavement. Sounds about right.
A Prius would be a decent car if 90+% of Prius drivers weren’t convinced its name stands for “Pricks-R-Us” – and act accordingly.
I’m just bloody sick of seeing all of these smarmy ass Prius and Volt drivers on base with this preachy horseshit about how much money they saved on gas and how much they’re helping the atmosphere and shit on the backs of their cars, tbh.
I don’t have 10 to 30k to just shit on a new car right now, and I happen to adore the classics– and as far as I’m concerned? Fuck you if you don’t like it.
For laughs, try reminding the drivers of such plug-in carts that they are driving a coal-powered vehicle.
And watch the squirrel cage come off their mental axle.
And after they’ve partially recovered their equilibrium – remind them that their Volt/Leaf/other electric car is also partially nuclear powered. (smile)
In many places, including mine, gas is now below $2/gallon by at least $.05, and may drop well below that before mid-December. There are places around here where it’s dropping below $1.749. Worth it to make the distances.
If I ever grow up, I want the pony car. I want it in red with a white top, and sparkly chrome wheels, and a spinner on the steering wheel.
Ex, I paid $1.83/gal today. And it dropped .02¢ after I gassed up.
Yes, it’s gone down more since I made that post. 10 miles north of me, it’s down to $1.749, and 3 miles to the west of me it’s $1.849.
I expect to see more drops, too.
Dare I say it? 1990 prices?
I’m thinking he actually speaks at that sound level that only dogs can hear.
No, they didn’t. It’s back. See here:
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=62862&cpage=1#comment-2728367.
Okay, how many people have been persuaded to join the Lars Brigade? That’s his mission here, he says. He wants to persuade you to his position. He will supply the vaseline, I understand.
I thought he came here looking for brotherhood?
I apologize, but I happen to like getting laid. I’ll pass. Sounds like accepting a membership to that particular brigade means losing a testicle.
Oh, thank the Bees and Butterflies, you’re normal, Fastjack! I get concerned about some of the guys here, because they seem drawn to trying to lure Lars the Petulant over to them. They forget that he bites. He has teeth at both ends.
I just come here for the Old Time Hockey, and the occasional Dave Hardin striptease.
I heard that if you join the Lars Brigade, you get a free Stadium Pal and a monthly subscription to “Catheters Are Us.”
well, it’s a little hard to come around to someone who opening statements usualy involve pleasantries like “go fuck yourself” “you’re a fucking moron” or “you piece of shit”. For someone who is getting a pretty high dollar education, his debating skills seem to have a 7 letter limit.
PH2 – small objection, at the beginning of the war all Nazis were NOT German – there were pro-Nazi groups in England (notably among the aristocracy), the US, and other places. Most prudently dropped from view when the war did start…and many of their supporters spent the duration in custody.
True, Bobo, but I believe that in the beginning of it, they were Germans, but it grew outside Germany so that by 1935, it was no longer just Germans.
People are openly and explicitly advocating declaring war on 1/4 of the world’s population including 2.6 million Americans tens of thousands of Muslim service members.
Calling them “fucking morons” is being polite.
And there is not point in reasoning with them. You can’t reason with religious extremists and these fucks are the exact same as ISIS militants. The difference is instead of a militant group they joined the US military in order to wage their religious war.
Fuck them.
Jesus Christ, Lars, are you EVER going to keep a promise?!?!?
I’d call a *WAAAAHH*mbulance to come take care of jiffy-poo, but I don’t give enough of a FUCK about him to do so.
‘Calling liberals “fucking morons” is being polite. And there is not point in reasoning with them. You can’t reason with liberals and these fucks are the exact same as ISIS militants. The difference is instead of a militant group they joined the ACLU or the SPLC or the American Communist Party or enrolled in UC Berkeley in order to wage their war. Fuck them.’
There you go, Lars. All fixed. No need to thank me. It was my pleasure. More corn?
Oh, Holy Cow! It’s ba-a-a-a-ck!
I heard on he news today that the French cops fired over 5,000 rounds in that raid but only three were killed. However, Abdelhamid Abaaoud received multiple gunshot wounds. I guess Allah finally opened the eyes of the infidels, but He didn’t give them good aim.
Better than their usual track record. Never fired, only dropped once.
I heard that his pieces had bullet wounds. Also, that when his wife/sister/cousin set off the suicide belt, the 2nd floor they were on collapsed. Maybe her and Abdelhamid were in motion when the cops were shooting at them? The sad part was that a police K-9 was killed in the explosion.
