Mastermind of Paris terror attacks entered Britain through Dover easily


#paristerrorattack #jihadists #syria Mastermind of Paris terror attacks had entered Britain through Dover easily and fresh fears have been raised over the existing border controls at Britain's ferry ports. The terrorist was the ringleader of the terror cell which slaughtered 130 people in the French capital in November and he was subsequently killed in a police raid on his hideout.
But the fact remains that French investigators have found that he had traveled to the UK earlier last year and had photos of British landmarks on his mobile phone. The apparent ease with which the he entered the UK - in spite of being the subject of an arrest warrant by Belgian authorities - has led to criticism of Britain's border guards and security services. Belgium had, in July last year, sentenced him in absentia to 20 years in prison for recruiting jihadists to fight in Syria.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 11 January 2016.
Britain would need to conduct an urgent review of border security at ferry terminals and, simultaneously, provide urgent reassurance that passports are being properly checked on exit and arrival in the UK. The terrorist is supposed to have gained entry into Britain through the port of Dover in Kent. The dates of his arrival and departure have not been given.
It may be recalled that during the attacks in Paris in November, he had killed up to 20 people in cafes and bars with an automatic rifle before he went to the Bataclan concert hall. Once there, he directed the murders of another 89 men and women. CCTV images showed him calmly making his way around the city while the carnage unfolded.

Coordinated terror attacks in Paris leave more than 150 dead


More than 150 have been killed in coordinated terror attacks in Paris and Deputy Mayor Patrick Klugman has indicated that the death toll is going to rise significantly. Residents and tourists in Paris were enjoying a soccer match between France and world champion Germany when terror struck. Terrorists - some with AK-47s, some reportedly with bombs strapped to them - attacked sites throughout the French capital and at the stadium where the soccer match was underway.
This has been reported in edition.cnn.com dated 14 November 2015.
The worst carnage occurred at the Bataclan concert hall, where at least 112 died. There was a heavy metal concert there and the terrorists shot at the assembled people for 10 to 15 minutes. It was like a bloodbath.
As a witness has revealed one of them had heard them talk about Iraq and Syria. Later, the men were speaking in French.
On an initial count, at least 153 people were killed in the Paris and Saint-Denis shootings and bombings. Saint-Denis is home to the national stadium where the soccer match was being played.
Four of the attackers are believed to have been killed - three of them were wearing explosive belts.
While the identity of the terrorists are not clear, in the opinion of US experts, the attacks resembled tactics that have been employed by a number of terror groups -- including al Qaeda's focus on mass casualty and visibility. The small, tactical nature of attacks are more the hallmark of ISIS and its acolytes.
