Terrorist Suspects in Europe Got Welfare Benefits While Plotting Attacks

WSJ ^

[quesney]

Belgian financial investigators looking into recent terror plots have discovered a disturbing trend: Some of the suspects were collecting welfare benefits until shortly before they carried out their attacks. ENLARGE

At least five of the alleged plotters in the Paris and Brussels terror attacks partly financed themselves with payments from Belgium’s generous social-welfare system, authorities have concluded. In total they received more than €50,000, or about $56,000 at today’s rate.

The main surviving Paris suspect, Salah Abdeslam, collected unemployment benefits until three weeks before the November attacks—€19,000 in all, according to people familiar with the case. At the time, he was manager and part-owner of a bar, which Belgian officials say should have made him ineligible.

Many of the participants in a disrupted Belgian terror plot also had been on the dole, according to the judge who sentenced more than a dozen people in the so-called Verviers cell last month. Police thwarted the plot early last year, finding explosives, weapons and police uniforms after a shootout that killed two people.

Literally, state sponsored terrorism -- sponsored by Western governments (including ours)

Same as the Boston bombers. They’re all recipients because of Western stupidity one way or another.

[PROCON]

As are Terrorist "refugees" that the criminal 0bama regime is bringing in to America.

[mainestategop]

Just about all the terrorism and crime in america is subsidized by liberals. Through welfare, TANF, Food stamps ETC. Everything from crackheads, to illegitimate children (futuure criminals) and muggers.

YES, of course they did.

One of the 1000 malignant consequences of the leftist nanny-state.

Unfortunately, it *SHOULDN’T* happen here, like it does in Socialist Europe. We once had a Constitution that outlawed public seizure w/out compensation, let alone forbade slavery of any measure.

Diversity uber alles.

Your life has no meaning if your betters can’t have their diversity.

And the difference to the generational brood-mares here in the U.S. that ‘bring-in’ more $$ than those WORKING for a living (excluding the under-the-table, dealings, stealing, etc.)?

IMO, the only difference is they killed their hosts quickly instead of the slow bleed-out\threats of govt by way of the gun.

Same as the Boston bombers.

Yeah, but to the libs the important thing is they were democrats.

What I was thinking also. Like anyone with common sense would think. And that it must be stopped.

“Apr 30, 2013 · The accused Boston Marathon bombers’ family pulled in more than $100,000 in welfare up until 2012, The Boston Herald reported. The benefits included …” Fox News

Trojan Horse

Literally, state sponsored terrorism -- sponsored by Western governments (including ours)

As are Terrorist "refugees" that the criminal 0bama regime is bringing in to America.

EACH sponsor receives sixty-five thousand dollars from the Federal Government for EACH “immigrant”. One mayor is sponsoring two thousand “immigrants”... do the math.

Here benefits EACH “immigrant” receives after they arrive:

- Every refugee will be given a Social Security number and card.

- They will live rent free on the tax payers dimes.

- Each family will receive $600 a month in food stamps.

- College age kids will have free tuition at any state funded university (Iowa State, University of Missouri, etc.).

- If a refugee is above age 50 and suffers from a disability, they are immediately eligible for Social Security benefits.

- They immediately move to the top of all property waiting lists (some US citizens are on them for months apparently).

- All property managers have to attend Limited English Proficiency training specifically for the refugees.

This is only going to get worse if hitlary wins.
