Paris: Gang suspected of killing Jew nabbed (Muslim gang not motivated by anti-Semitism say police)
Ynet News (Israel) ^ | 19/02/06

Posted on 02/19/2006 4:21:02 AM PST by Hannah Senesh

Ilan Halimi, 23-year-old Parisian man, found tied to tree, naked, wounded, with burns covering his body; police arrest 13 suspects, say act not motivated by anti-Semitism

The French police arrested 13 people on suspicion of kidnapping, torturing and murdering Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Parisian Jew.

Halimi was found on Monday tied to a tree, naked and wounded, with burns covering all parts of his body. He died on the way to the hospital.

Police officials said that the abduction and murder were apparently not motivated by anti-Semitism, but added that they have not yet discovered what led the group to commit the acts.

The affair, which stunned France's Jewish community, began about a month ago, when a good-looking young woman entered a cellular phone store in Paris, where Halimi worked, and began talking to him.

The two exchanged telephone numbers, and after speaking on the phone a number of times, set a meeting in a suburb south of Paris. Halimi left for the meeting on January 20, and has been missing ever since.

Later, the kidnappers contacted Halimi's family members and asked them for a ransom of Euro 400,000 (about USD 476,239). The family, however, was unable to collect such a large amount of money, and the kidnappers thus lowered their demand to Euro 5,000 (5,953). Then, a week and a half ago, they stopped contacting the family.

Failed abduction attempts

The police, who had launched a secret investigation into the affair, were unable to locate the kidnappers, who had used stolen cellular phones and were photographed wearing masks.

The investigation did reveal that the kidnappers had already attempted to execute similar abductions at least four times before, but had failed for various reasons.

Over the weekend, French newspapers revealed that 12 out of the 13 suspects arrested, aged 17 to 32, were captured in the suburb south of Paris where Halimi was tortured.

Among the detainees was also the young woman, whose photo was published in the newspapers as the seducing girl. The girl claimed that she was indeed asked to seduce a number of young men, but was unaware of the act's purpose.

The last suspect in the affair was arrested in Belgium.

The investigation into the affair was handed to the Parisian police's severe crimes unit, and it is being personally supervised by Paris' public prosecutor.

Despite the police's doubts, Halimi's family believes that the act was motivated by anti-Semitism.

“We think there is anti-Semitism in this affair,” Rafi, Ilan’s brother-in-law, told the European Jewish Press. ”First because the killers tried to kidnap at least two other Jews, and secondly because of what they said on the phone."

”When we said we didn’t have Euro 500,000 to give them, they answered we should go to the synagogue and get it,” Rafi stressed.

“They also recited verses from the Koran. We didn’t know what they were saying but the police told us," he said.

The media is as guilty as those perpetrating these horrible crimes.

It's a special kind of evil. I used to be on chechen lists and studied it for years. There was a video going around of an infant being disemboweled. It was hot. I could hardly stand to read the requests for it on the list.

Several conservative radio hosts were putting forth the theory that the Iraq beheading videos were a learned phenomena from chechens, a few years ago. This supported my belief that chechnya was an opening to hades itself, here on earth.

Can anyone doubt that this same evil is taking over France? Does anyone think the French will put it down successfully? The only answer is to get the Jews out now. Not one more mother's child put through this kind of suffering! Three weeks of it!!

Thanks for listening...

They are demons inspired by a demon "prophet". Not all Muslims are demons but the further away from Islam the better for them and for the world. If they go through the motions but don't believe all this ***Muhammad=model for all mankind to copy*** trash they can be good people. If you want to know Islam than learn about the life of Muhammad.

I agree, btw, that one of the motivations was money. So it was, also, with the chechens.

Inspector Clouseau said that the abduction and murder were apparently not motivated by anti-Semitism, but added that they have not yet discovered what led the group to commit the acts.

My hair is literally standing on end with horror, MarMema.

Years ago I read several books about WW2 concentration camps, both eye witness and researched. Also "Babi Yar". My very first thought after reading these books was "It will happen again, because people are not better, if anything, there's a cultural decline". I wasn't thinking particularly against the Jews, although this is obviously the case as well.

I just can't say anything. People need to save themselves, since those charged with safeguarding society are not doing their job, especially in France.

The Muhammad cartoon protest took a new direction in Pakistan this week as demonstrators took to the streets in Islamabad brandishing signs that proclaimed "God Bless Hitler."

The only answer is to get the Jews out now.

I've got a better idea. Let's get the Muslims out now, if it's not too late already.

The native French have got to realize they are next in line, after the Jews. I fear what is coming in Europe is going to make the Hitler Years look tame by comparison!

I read it all. For Muslims it's not enough to kill. The one to be murdered must suffer pain and torture on his way to death otherwise Muslim rage and insanity has not been fully expressed

They ought to hire a subcontactor. The jihad filth could quietly be carted off.

All true. Like most civil authorities they don't value justice. Their main motive is to avoid riots and disturbances by Muslims
