Paris attacks: How Europe's migrant crisis gave terrorist Abdelhamid Abaaoud the perfect cover
Telegraph - UK ^ | November 20, 2015 | Gordon Rayner, Rory Mulholland in Paris

As one of Europe's most wanted men, Abdelhamid Abaaoud should, in theory, have struggled to move anywhere on the continent without being picked up by the security services sooner or later.

For two years he had been a known Isil fanatic, recruiting his own 13-year-old brother to the terrorist organisation and becoming linked with increasing numbers of murderous plots.

But as he planned his return from the terrorist training grounds of Syria to cause carnage on the streets of Paris, the perfect cover presented itself. He, and others involved in the Paris attacks, could exploit the chaos of Europe's migrant crisis to come and go as they pleased by posing as refugees.

As it was confirmed that Abaaoud, the organiser of the Paris attacks, was killed during Wednesday’s police raid on a flat in Saint-Denis, Bernard Cazeneuve, the French interior minister, disclosed that he had travelled through Greece, disappearing among the 300,000-plus refugees and migrants that have made the same journey this year.

At least two of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) jihadis who killed 129 in Paris - and a man now on the run - had also posed as migrants or refugees to make a round trip to Syria, though the total is likely to be higher, as six of the seven suicide bombers are thought to have visited the war-torn country.

The Schengen border-free zone of European countries now finds itself in an existential crisis, with migrants and terrorists alike travelling with ease to every corner of Europe.

While the arguments over border controls rage on, the intelligence and security services are without one of their key weapons in the war on terror.....................

“........Intelligence failures appear to have allowed Abaaoud to act with impunity. He had travelled to Syria in 2013, then returned to Belgium via Greece. He was able to leave Belgium undetected and return to Syria, a round trip he made several other times, he says.

He was related to Ibrahim Abdeslam, one of the suicide bombers in Friday’s attack, and in 2010 spent time in jail with Abdeslam’s brother Salah, currently Europe’s most wanted man after going on the run after the attacks. They were childhood friends, having grown up in the same Molenbeek district of Brussels as several of the other suspects. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/11997410/Paris-attackers-linked-to-Belgian-suburb-where-the-authorities-have-lost-control.html

Abaaoud’s family had previously been told that he was dead, but it appears to have been an Isil ruse to throw police off his scent.......

The Muslim takeover and conquest of Europe is in full swing. And why do they allow so many to migrate in? The European birthrate has dropped so low their population was shrinking and they no longer had enough young workers to support the retired and non-working takers. And why has that birthrate decline sped up so much and become such a crisis during the last 50 years or so? The pill. And abortion. And homosexuality. And lifestyle changes.

They imported millions of foreign workers because of falling birthrates, and socialism had run out of other people’s money, so this is this is the result. And there’s no easy way out.

Coming soon to a nation near you.

How many more “Abdelhamid Abaaoud’s” are there in their midst? Many! I have no doubt odumbo’s stupidity will bring destruction, chaos and death to Americans here on our soil. He needs to... no, MUST be removed immediately if we ever hope to avoid any further American deaths at the hands of the terroists.
