"Focus on roles in Paris attack; US officials link younger brother with Al Qaeda" by Eric Schmitt, Mark Mazetti and Rukmini Callimachi, New York Times January 15, 2015
WASHINGTON — The younger of the two brothers who killed 12 people in Paris last week most likely used his older brother’s passport in 2011 to travel to Yemen, where he received training and $20,000 from Al Qaeda’s affiliate there, presumably to finance attacks when he returned home to France.
US counterterrorism officials said Wednesday that they now believe Chérif Kouachi, the younger brother, was the likely aggressor in the attacks, not Saïd Kouachi, as they first thought, but that the older brother may also have traveled to Yemen, as US and French authorities have said.
PFFFFFFFFT!
See that wastebasket over there?
The fuller portrait of the brothers has emerged as an international effort is focused on determining who may have been behind the attack on the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo, and what direct role, if any, Al Qaeda or its affiliates or their bitter rival, the Islamic State, had in planning and ordering the assault.
Oh, I'm sure Al-CIA-Duh was involved!
In a video and written statement Wednesday, the Al Qaeda branch in Yemen formally claimed responsibility for the deadly assault. If the claim of direct responsibility holds up, it would make the attacks in France the deadliest planned and financed by Al Qaeda on Western soil since the transit bombings in London in 2005 that killed 52 people.
Even the propaganda pre$$ is hedging this sh** pile.

Kinda a kick in the head, huh, and do you know who Mr. Aswat and Mr. Khan worked for?
And it would serve as a reminder of the continued danger from the group at a time when much of the attention of Europe and the United States has shifted to the Islamic State, the militant organization that controls large swaths of Syria and Iraq.
And there is one of your agenda-pushing purposes for the propaganda, among others.
The new information about the Kouachi brothers could help explain what Chérif Kouachi told a French television station before his death last week: that he had gone to Yemen in 2011 — probably through Oman — and was financed by Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born cleric who oversaw attacks against the West by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, also known as AQAP. US authorities now believe Chérif most likely had contact with Awlaki in Yemen, possibly in person.
They keep digging their agents and assets out from the grave and beyond for the propaganda effort, and it is simply no longer working.
But it is still unclear what specific guidance the Al Qaeda branch gave to the Kouachis about carrying out an attack, though it is believed that the satirical magazine was one of the targets discussed, a US counterterrorism official said.
The United States still has little concrete evidence about any travels by the brothers after 2011 or possible further contact with terrorist groups, officials said.
WTF? What is the NSA doing other than spying on us all??
“I suspect that Chérif Kouachi did engage AQAP members in Yemen, but that he was not fully brought into the organization,” said Brian Fishman, a counterterrorism researcher at the New America Foundation in Washington. “Perhaps concerned about infiltration by Western agents, AQAP may have offered minimal training, directed the group toward publicly announced target lists, and sent him on his way.”
HA-HA-HA-HA!
They ARE western agents!!
Fishman said if that happened, “AQAP did not exactly direct the attack, but it had some knowledge of the Kouachis and could plausibly try to claim credit.”
I wonder who funds them?
The statement by the Al Qaeda branch in Yemen called the Kouachi brothers, who were shot to death by police Friday, “two heroes of Islam.” But it referred to the actions of Amedy Coulibaly, who attacked a police officer the day of the assault on Charlie Hebdo and was shot to death by police after holding hostages in a kosher supermarket, as a coincidence and did not take responsibility for them. In a video released after his death, Coulibaly said he was a supporter of the Islamic State, a rival of Al Qaeda’s.
You will think it's SILLI when I tell you who are their enablers.
A member of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the joint timing of the two operations was a result of the friendship between Coulibaly and the Kouachi brothers and not a reflection of common planning between Al Qaeda and the Islamic State group.
The attacks appear to illustrate what analysts have described as an evolution in Al Qaeda tactics and logistics. Because of heightened surveillance, operatives are trained and assigned general targets, but details on how to carry out the operation are no longer managed by the organization.
All that heightened surveillance isn't preventing a goddamn thing, so WTF?!!!!!!
It DIDN'T STOP THIS EVEN THOUGH the NATIONAL SECURITY STATES are ALL OVER IT PROTECTING US!!

"More than 202,000 people applied for asylum in Germany last year, the interior minister said Wednesday, with large numbers coming from war-torn areas in the Mideast and Afghanistan. Cities and rural communities have been struggling to provide housing for the influx. In recent months, asylum seekers across Germany have been put up in tent cities, former army barracks, retired cruise ships, and gyms.
Gee, how much is that costing the German citizen and taxpayer who is holding up the failing EU?
Meanwhile, protests against new asylum homes have increased across the country with demonstrators trying to prevent refugees from moving into their neighborhoods. Big crowds attending weekly rallies in the city of Dresden by a group calling itself Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West, or PEGIDA, have also been outspoken in their rejection of asylum seekers."
All Obama's refugees when you think about it. They have all come from places where the U.S. has started or continued overt or covert action.
Btw, I have the solution for Germany.
"Muslim world critical as new Charlie Hebdo sells out; Magazine hard to find in Paris and elsewhere" by Mark Deen and Onur Ant, Bloomberg News January 15, 2015
PARIS — Charlie Hebdo’s first post-attack cartoons sparked a police search in Turkey and drew criticism from Iran as people lined up in Paris to buy copies of the issue featuring the Prophet Mohammed on its cover.
This whole hoax carrying such a $elf-$erving stench.
The magazine shows a cartoon of Mohammed, crying, against a green background, holding a board saying: ‘‘Je suis Charlie’’ or ‘‘I am Charlie.’’ Above his image are the words ‘‘All is Forgiven.’’
???????
As many as 5 million copies of the special issue are being printed a week after millions of people in Paris and other European capitals marched in recent days to show support for the victims and defend the freedom of expression. The reaction in Iran and Turkey shows how the Paris attacks are becoming politicized in parts of the Muslim world.
OMG! The Jew spew media has really jumped the shark and spun this narrative 180 degrees!
It is BEING POLITICIZED by THEM for further agenda-pushing purposes!
If you took a poll in Muslim nations such as Jordan, there would ‘‘probably be overwhelming opposition to the Paris attacks AND overwhelming opposition to the right to blaspheme,’’ Shadi Hamid, a fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, said on Twitter.
Why are all the experts my pre$$ turns to either wealthy elites, Zionist Jews, or both?
Turkish police searched trucks carrying the Cumhuriyet newspaper, which published some of the cartoons. Blockades were set at its offices in Istanbul as a security precaution. Mayor Melih Gokcek of Ankara, from the country’s ruling Justice and Development Party, accused Cumhuriyet via his Twitter account Tuesday of attempting to be provocative.
‘‘Don’t fall into Cumhuriyet’s trap,’’ he said. ‘‘They are aiming to provoke an attack against them and depict Muslims as aggressors to the world.’’
In Tehran, the Iranian foreign ministry condemned the new Charlie Hebdo issue.
Iran ‘‘condemns terrorism anywhere in the world,’’ because it is ‘‘against Islam’s teachings,’’ Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said in Tehran. ‘‘On the other hand, we disapprove of provocative moves and this weekly’s undertaking is insulting and will provoke the feelings of Muslims.’’
Yeah, we've seen this script before.
Meanwhile in Paris, copies of the magazine were sold out across much of the city.

I was wondering what interests bought them all (I'm sure they had help; wealthy always donate large sums of money to promote $elf-$erving and narrative reinforcing rags. That's why the Globe is still on the stands).
**************
Bids for the edition were running as high as $14,100 on eBay Inc.’s French site. In the United Kingdom, where newsagents expect copies on Friday, eBay bids were as high as $1,518. In the United States, the magazine was selling for as much as $600 and one seller was offering it for as much as $14,672. Some earlier editions of the magazine are going for as much as $35,000 on eBay’s French site.
OMG!
This propaganda effort is truly $tunning in its enormity.
This week’s magazine hit newsstands worldwide in 16 languages Wednesday. Distribution of the copies will continue over the coming days. In addition to Mohammed and Pope Francis, the latest edition carried caricatures of the nine Charlie Hebdo journalists who died in the attacks.
In London, Anjem Choudary, a British Muslim activist suspected of promoting terrorism, said in an interview with the Independent newspaper Tuesday that the latest edition was an ‘‘act of war.’’ Choudary has been affiliated with the outlawed Al-Muhajiroun network and was released on bail in September.
Oh, Britain RELEASED the TERRORIST, huh?
That means he is WORKING for MI5 or 6!
British newsagents were stocking up on the magazine all the same. Navin Bhuptani ordered 30 copies of Charlie Hebdo for his Goswell News shops after a number of customers requested it. Bhuptani said he’s not worried about security and trusts his magazine distributor Smiths News for guidance. A Smiths News spokeswoman confirmed the distributor is carrying the title but declined to say how many or when it will arrive in Britain.
Charlie Hebdo has been published every Wednesday for the past 22 years. Religion, sex, death, politicians — nothing and no one has been off-limits....
Yeah, strange how all the anti-Jewish bigotry they showed has been tossed down the Zionist media machine memory hole, and how the pos mag is now being lionized in with this shameless propaganda campaign.

"Hundreds gather in Wellesley to hear speakers rally in support of Jews in France" by Sean P. Murphy, Globe Staff January 15, 2015
WELLESLEY — More than 450 people crowded into the soaring-ceilinged Temple Beth Elohim on Wednesday evening to deliver what local Jewish leaders described as an unequivocal message of solidarity with Jews worldwide in these uneasy days following the terrorist attacks on Jews and others in Paris by Islamist extremists.
(Cue somber and morose cello music)
In pledging support for French Jews, a half-dozen leaders spoke in solemn and sometimes angry tones, while high above the congregation, on two large suspended screens, appeared a continuous loop of pictures of the 17 people slain in the recent terror attacks, with captions such as “Je suis Jean Cabut,” “Je suis Yoav Cohen,” and others, naming each of the dead.
“Defense of liberty is a worldwide responsibility and the denial of liberty anywhere affects people all over the world,” said Barry Shrage, president of the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston. “It affects our people, the Jewish people, in a profound way.
Go tell it to the oppressed Palestinians -- and the data-collecting AmeriKan government for that matter.
“How many times must we gather like this to mourn Jews killed by the ultimate in human insanity?” he asked.
“One of the lessons of World War II is that we must not be bullied into silence,” Shrage added. “We have to hold on to our liberty with both hands, with all our might.”
No, instead they do the bullying with things like the Holohoax™ denial laws.
Jeremy Burton, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, said, “We stand united against this growing tide of anti-Semitism. The Jews of Boston stand with the French Jewish community. Our message is that they do not now and never will stand alone.”
Another speaker, Robert Leikind, director of the Boston office of the American Jewish Committee, pointed to the support in Boston for France and for Jews....

I happened to listened to the radio yesterday and even he knows of the contradictory video evidence showing this whole thing to be another recorded drill or exercise gone live if not a completely staged and scripted Hollywood-type hoax.
