Paris Attacks Summary

Standard

ISIS never claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks.

ISIS released a statement praising the attackers:

IS CLAIMS PARIS ATTACKS, WARNS OPERATION IS “FIRST OF THE STORM”

The statement details nothing that was not publicly available information from news reports:

“Terror groups, when they claim credit for attacks, will sometimes include details of the planning or execution that establish the group was indeed responsible. There are none here; the statement details nothing that was not publicly available information from news reports. It also includes no biographical information on the attackers, even a name or photo, though terror groups will often lionize its attackers as “martyrs” in such statements.”

Eight suspects identified were EU citizens. A Syrian passport was found near a ninth suspect, but its legitimacy has come under question by everybody including French and German authorities.

“A third red flag is the fact that the passport concerned was found in the first place. Analysts find it strange that a bomber would remember to bring his passport on a mission, particularly one who does not intend to return alive.”

Additionally, there is the fact that the passport remained intact while the suicide bomber did not. French and German authorities say ISIS may have planted the passport to turn public opinion against refugees:

France Will Still Welcome Syrian Refugees

Since ISIS was likely not involved, since French authorities have no problem blaming people for crimes they did not commit, and since sinister people always accuse others of crimes they did themselves, it’s likely a case that more sinister French authorities planted that passport.

Despite accusing ISIS of killing 130 French citizens, France chooses to retaliate by bombing abandoned empty locations:

“all these strikes are targeting abandoned empty locations.”
