Soldater påkörda av bil i Paris

Efter en dramatisk biljakt som slutade i skottlossning på en motorväg kunde polisen gripa den 37-årige algeriern Hamou Benlatrèche, skriver Le Parisien.
Han misstänks nu för gårdagens attack mot de franska terrorbekämpande soldaterna.

Enligt tidningen håller utredare fortfarande på att fastställa motivet bakom attacken. Enligt uppgifter till tidningen var han sedan tidigare känd av polisen – men inte för att vara radikaliserad. Han är däremot bosatt i ett område i närheten av Sartrouville, en kommun med en känd salafistisk miljö, där polisen gjorde många tillslag efter terrordåden i Paris.
En källa som arbetar nära fallet uppger att han finns i polisens register, enbart gällande småbrottslighet och brott mot migrationslagar, uppger tidningen vidare.
Gärningsmannens identitet är ännu inte bekräftad av franska myndigheter.

IS in al Naba 93 reports Levallois Perret car attack against 6 French soldiers of Sentinel operation

Man arrested in French car attack had radical beliefs

The Algerian driver who sped his car into a group of soldiers near Paris this month had radical beliefs and showed interest in the Islamic State group, France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor said Wednesday.
Prosecutor Francois Molins pressed charges against the 36-year-old suspect, Hamou Benlatreche, of attempted murder of security forces in connection with a terrorist enterprise.

The Aug. 9 attack in the Paris suburb of Levallois-Perret injured six soldiers.
Molins said at a news conference that the suspect, shot by police during his arrest and still hospitalized, wasn’t in a condition to answer investigators’ questions.
Investigators have found images in Benlatreche’s phone that were connected to IS, such as a flag and photos of its leaders, and other evidence, Molins said.
On another phone found in Benlatreche’s car, police discovered evidence of internet research about visas and flights to Turkey and articles about Syria, where he might have planned to go, according to the prosecutor.

Molins said Benlatreche was a member of a fundamentalist Islamic movement, Tablighi Jamaat, but said there was no evidence that he had connections with members of IS.

In France, as many as "80% percent of the Islamist extremists have come from Tablighi ranks, prompting French intelligence officers to call Tablighi Jamaat the 'antechamber of fundamentalism.'"[18][64][65][66] Among those who have been members of TJ in France are Zacarias Moussaoui (the only person to be charged in the United States in the September 11 attacks), Hervé Djamel Loiseau, a young Frenchman who died fleeing the 2001 American bombardment of Tora Bora in Afghanistan, and Djamel Beghal, an Algerian-born Frenchman and admitted member of Al Qaeda who was convicted in 2005 of plotting to blow up the U.S. Embassy in Paris.[30] In a foiled January 2008 bombing plot in Barcelona, Spain, "some media reports" stated that a Muslim leader in the city stated that the fourteen suspects arrested by police in a series of raids (where bomb-making materials were seized) were members of Tablighi Jamaat.[3][67] Other terrorist plots and attacks on civilians that members of Tablighi Jamaat have been connected with include the Portland Seven, the Lackawanna Six, the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot, the 7/7 London bombings, the 2007 London car bombs, and 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack.[3]

Den misstänkte hade också lästa artiklarna på den syriska staden Idlib rebellhållet islamistiska Fateh al-Sham och en artikel om legitimiteten i Islam för att döda otrogna eller muslimer
