NOVANEWS http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com Gunman was once in US custody in Afghanistan ed note–so, not only was this individual allowed to enter Israel, he was also being watched by French security and intelligence services, was on the US ‘no fly’ list and had even been in American custody at one time??? Amazing, how EVERY TIME Israel finds herself neck-deep in ‘bad press’ something like THIS just ALWAYS manages to ‘pop up’. Almost ‘magical,’ n’est-ce pas? Reuters The French Islamist gunman suspected of murdering seven people who was killed in a shootout with police on Thursday was on a  “no-fly” list maintained by U.S. authorities, U.S. officials said.  Mohammed Merah was placed on the list some time ago, two officials said, but they would not disclose precisely when. A source fa...

NOVANEWS –ed note–for the moment, barring some new information otherwise, we are going to accept this at its face value, that it was a desperate act on the part of an individual who had grown sick and tired of seeing his fellow Muslims being murdered by Israel with impunity. HOWEVER, the news that he visited Israel is extremely interesting, given the difficulty that people of his background face when trying to enter the Jewish state. Individuals extremely less problematic have far greater difficulty getting into the country, so how did he? And so, given current realities, we are forced to ask a few questions– Did Israel do to him what she does to those in Gaza seeking medical help, offering to give them the assistence they need if they agree to be a snitch for Israel? Did Israel ki...

NOVANEWS  http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com By Lindsey German No one can justify such attacks, but the shootings in south west France are the terrible and disastrous outcome of the West’s war policies and anti-Muslim racism. The shootings in south west France were, it appears, the work of a young Algerian Muslim, who had been trained in camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan and was one of the prisoners who escaped from Kandahar prison in a Taliban jailbreak. No one can justify such attacks, which have seen the killing of Jewish schoolchildren and a rabbi, and of French soldiers of North African and Caribbean descent. But nor should anyone be in any doubt that this act cannot be explained as an isolated hate crime, or the deed of one fanatic. It is the terrible and disastrous outcome ...

NOVANEWS Exploiting the Murders - Who Profits? The Sad Three Ring Circus Moves into the Ten Ring Version    by  Jim W. Dean, VT Editor Update: 12 pm, 03-22-12. Gunman killed in final shootout. Confusion reigns on earlier background reports. French claiming they were not aware of his earlier arrests in Afghanistan, bombing making and prison escape. American military had claimed they had picked him up and turned him over to the French NATO people and he had been repatriated back home. It appears some further investigation will be needed to straighten it all out, or for everybody to get their stories straight. ___________________ Note: Media had previously reported several times that he had surrendered. News is now reporting the shooting suspect in custody. But already being reveal...

NOVANEWS  http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com ed note–needless to say, our condolences to the family members who lost loved ones. Having said that however, HOW LONG before some ‘Iranian’ angle is tied to this? The fact that the perp drove a motorcycle exactly as the assassins in Tehran did when killing the Iranian nuclear scientist is troubling. Absent that, how long before breaking news reveals it was a ‘neo-Nazi’, since the paratroupers he killed were North African? The French government has confirmed that the gun used to kill three French paratroopers last week is the same gun that a shooter used to fire on a Jewish school in Toulouse this morning, killing four, including a 30-year-old rabbi and his two children. The shooter, who arrived and fled from the Ozar Hatorah school on ...
