New reports are emerging identifying Abdel-Hamid Abu Oud, a 28-year-old Brussels-born ISIS member, as the probable “mastermind” behind Friday’s attacks in Paris. Abu Oud was said to have been talking up plans to “attack a concert hall” after returning from Syria.
Abu Oud joined ISIS back in 2013 and was reportedly a close confidant of ISIS caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He was also a long-time associate of Saleh Abdeslam, the lone surviving attacker in the Paris strike, who is still at large.
French officials say previously arrested ISIS members had told them Abu Oud was a very senior figure in the movement, and was plotting attacks inside France. ISIS members captured in a Belgian raid back in January also had phone contact with him.
Abu Oud had also given an interview to ISIS’ English-language magazine back in February, bragging about his ability to go from Syria to Europe at will, saying his name and picture were all over the news but he never seemed to have problems coming and going.
His time in Syria isn’t as well documented, though Abu Oud did participate in some propaganda videos, and video footage of him driving a vehicle dragging the bodies of several Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters.
His family had received word back in October that he had been killed in fighting in Syria, though officials doubted the claim at the time, believing his death was faked to make travel easier.
While other attackers were known to officials before Friday, none appears to have been nearly so high-profile as Abu Oud, and the failure in keeping tabs on him seems virtually certain to be a subject of controversy for intelligence agencies going forward.
This is doubly so because French officials had publicly linked Abu Oud to two previous attacks they said they foiled, adding more questions about why officials never seemed able to catch up with him.
Seems like it was a good time for something like that to succeed for the NATO/Neocon agenda. US shooting up a hospital and it's internal 'investigation' will be less interesting for some time. Russia's peacemaking initiative could take a back burner under the 'West's' new "Do Something!" cry. …and hasn't a USraeli terror been a tactic for spoiling diplomacy before; Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan,…,…? They let-one-through.
…and fourteen years of 'fighting' terror could be popularly interpreted at least two ways—failure as concept or failure to-do-enough. But the latter oughta work better after a shock.
ISIS is doing the bidding of its Zionist/CIA puppet masters.
These brutal attacks are similar to Operation Northwoods,
a scheme concocted by the corrupt/racist USG regime in 1962.
(Please Google: Operation Northwoods).
None of the flunkies in the corporate MSM have the balls to
raise the question (Who) is really behind ISIS and other
(terrorist) groups? As if most of us don't already know.
Their job is to keep (us) masses hyped with fear, subterfuge,
and misinformation.
I never believed Bin-Laden pulled off 9/11. Likewise, I am
also of the opinion ISIS is a concoction of the globalists,
whose plan is to install a One World Police State.
JFK rejected Operation Northwoods. He was murdered in Dallas
a few months later. JFK was probably the last (real) President
the USG had.
"whose plan is to install a One World Police State"
I often have the feeling that the entire planet is one giant prison.
Yes, Northwoods was a proposed false flag, but as concerns the Paris atrocity Gladio is the (continuing?) precedent.
This reminds me of how the Mafia operate in the US and Canada. The "authorities" know all about the Mafia leaders: who they are, where they live, and all their crimes. And yet, they remain free to conduct business, simply by buying judges and cops and doing favors for the right people.
FAKE TERROR – THE ROAD TO WAR AND DICTATORSHIP
It's the oldest trick in the book, dating back to Roman times; creating the enemies you need.
In 70 BC, an ambitious minor politician and extremely wealthy man, Marcus Licinius Crassus, wanted to rule Rome. Just to give you an idea of what sort of man Crassus really was, he is credited with invention of the fire brigade. But in Crassus' version, his fire-fighting slaves would race to the scene of a burning building whereupon Crassus would offer to buy it on the spot for a tiny fraction of its worth.

November 14, 2015 The Matrix Extends Its Reach
Within one hour of the Paris attacks and without any evidence, the story was set in stone that the perpetrator was ISIL. This is the way propagada works. When the West does it, it always succeeds, because the world is accustomed to following the lead of the West. I was amazed to see, for example, Russian news services helping to spread the official story of the Paris attacks despite Russia herself having suffered so often from planted false stories.
