Putin: ISIS financed from 40 countries, including G20 members
Published time: 16 Nov, 2015 14:29
President Vladimir Putin says he’s shared Russian intelligence data on Islamic State financing with his G20 colleagues: the terrorists appear to be financed from 40 countries, including some G20 member states.
During the summit, “I provided examples based on our data on the financing of different Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) units by private individuals. This money, as we have established, comes from 40 countries and, there are some of the G20 members among them,” Putin told the journalists.
Putin also spoke of the urgent need to curb the illegal oil trade by IS.
“I’ve shown our colleagues photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil and petroleum products,” he said.
“The motorcade of refueling vehicles stretched for dozens of kilometers, so that from a height of 4,000 to 5,000 meters they stretch beyond the horizon,” Putin added, comparing the convoy to gas and oil pipeline systems.

A dispatch sent by Iraqi officials and obtained by AP shows that Baghdad warned members of the US-led coalition battling ISIS of imminent attacks by the group just one day before the Paris terror attacks killed 129 people and wounded 352 others.
Iraqi intelligence sent a dispatch saying that Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had ordered an attack on coalition countries fighting against the group in Iraq and Syria, as well as on Iran and Russia, through bombings or other attacks, according to the message.
“We have recovered information from our direct sources in the Islamic State terrorist organization about the orders issued by terrorist ‘Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’ directing all members of the organization to implement an international attack that includes all coalition countries, in addition to Iran and the Russian Federation, through bombings or assassinations or hostage taking in the coming days. We do not have information on the date and place for implementing these terrorist operations at this time,” the dispatch read.
Speaking anonymously to AP, six senior Iraqi officials confirmed the information in the message, and four of those officials said they specifically warned France of a possible attack. Two officials told AP that France was warned beforehand of further details that the country’s authorities have not made public.
The officials said the Paris attacks appear to have been planned in Raqqa, Syria – ISIS’s de-facto capital – where the attackers planned specifically for the operation. After their training, the attackers traveled to France where they met with members of a sleeper cell who helped them carry out the deadly attacks. A total of 24 people were reportedly involved in the operation: 19 attackers and five others in charge of planning and logistics.

‘Paris changes everything’: Merkel’s allies call for German refugee policy changes
Published time: 15 Nov, 2015 19:17
Following the terror attacks in Paris, the Bavarian Finance Minister Markus Soeder, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s sister party, has called for Germany to change its refugee policy and put an end to the mass influx of asylum seekers.
“The days of uncontrolled immigration and illegal entry can’t continue just like that. Paris changes everything,” Soeder said in interview for the Welt am Sonntag newspaper.
“It is unacceptable that we don’t know who arrives in Germany and what these people are doing. We must stop this by all means,” he added.
The minister pointed out that if the EU fails to protect the bloc’s frontiers, Germany will be forced to guard its own borders. He added that when Berlin also fails, Bavaria will have to do it on its own, Soeder warned.

A mosque in Peterborough, Ontario, was set ablaze deliberately, local police have ruled. An investigation is under way. The local Muslim association has labeled the incident “clearly a hate crime.”
The incident came to light Sunday, and authorities are currently trying to work out if there is a connection to the Paris terrorist attacks that claimed 129 lives and left 352 injured.
The fire started around 11 p.m. the previous day at 784 Parkhill Road, according to CBC News. There are no casualties and no one was inside at the Masjid Al-Salaam Mosque was set ablaze.
However, this could easily have been different: the local Muslim association’s president, Kenzu Abdella, says that only an hour prior to the crime, a group of worshipers had gathered to celebrate a newborn child.

Stating that France is now “at war,” President Francois Hollande urged for increased security spending and stripping dual citizens of their French nationality if they are deemed a terrorism risk. It comes just days after Paris attacks killed 129 people.
In a Monday address to both houses of parliament, Hollande said France will step up strikes in Syria, calling it “the biggest factory of terrorists the world has known.”
“Our democracy has triumphed before over adversaries that were much more formidable than these cowards,” Hollande said.
The French president demanded a rapid implementation of “co-ordinated and systematic controls” of the EU’s internal and external borders, stressing that it will patrol its national borders if Europe does not comply. This would mean dismantling the European Union.
He stated that he was extending the current state of emergency by an additional three months, adding that the French constitution must be amended for crisis situations, allowing dual citizens to be stripped of their French citizenship and barred from the country if they are a terrorism risk.
The French president stated that 5,000 police jobs will be created in the next two years. He said there would be no job cuts in the military until 2019.

The FBI has confirmed an unknown number of weapons are missing after a burglary at the US Army Reserve center in Worcester, Massachusetts. All law enforcement bodies were alerted, but the agency insists there are no signs of terrorism.
The authorities provided no details as to how many weapons are missing, but claim all necessary measures are in place to investigate the incident and search for the missing cache.
“Nothing at this point in time would tie this to any specific threat or anything else,” Hank Shaw, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston office, told WCVB.
The agencies concerned also emphasize the break-in seems to have no connection to any terrorism-related activity, as security measures have been tightened across the state after Friday’s terror attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people and injured more than 250 others.

Paris attacks: David Cameron warns UK terrorist attack is ‘highly likely’
in the wake of a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris PA David Cameron placed the UK on high alert for a terror attack, as holidaymakers in Paris were told to “stay indoors” and security checks were ramped up at British airports and ferry terminals.
The Prime Minister said the scale of the atrocity in France revealed “a greater ambition for mass-casualty attacks” on the West, and warned that an attempt to bring terror to the UK was “highly likely”.
Co-ordinated Paris attacks ‘show the fragility of free societies’
Mr Cameron said the public should be “alert but not alarmed” and vowed to “wipe out” the so-called Islamic State (Isis) and its ideology.
It comes as the PM prepares to hold crunch talks on the growing terror threat with Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, at the G20 summit in Turkey on 16 November.

Jewish owners recently sold Paris’s Bataclan theater, where IS killed dozens
‘We’re devastated because we knew everyone who worked there,’ says former owner Pascal Laloux
November 14, 2015, 5:50 pm
The Bataclan theater, targeted in Friday night’s Paris terror attacks, was Jewish-owned for decades, but was sold two months ago, its former owners said.
French magazine Le Point said early Saturday that the Bataclan, where at least 80 people were massacred by Islamic State gunmen on Friday night, has for years been the target of anti-Zionist groups as the Jewish owners often put on pro-Israel events. The publication quoted a member of the extremist group Army of Islam, who told French security services in 2011 that, “We had planned an attack against the Bataclan because its owners are Jews.”
The Eagles of Death Metal, the band performing at the theater when the attacks began, played in Tel Aviv’s Barby club in July.
Pascal Laloux, one of the theater’s former owners, said Saturday that the theater was “sold in September after 40 years.”
“We’re devastated because we knew everyone who worked there,” he told Israel’s Channel 2 news.
