Just a small taste of what’s to come from ISIS.

Via Israeli Intelligence Heritage Center:

The terrorist suspected of carrying out the shooting attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels has been identified as a French Muslim jihadist.

1.   On May 24, 2014, a shooting attack was carried out at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, killing four people, two of them Israeli tourists. The following week, on June 1, 2014, a suspect was detained in Marseilles. He was found with the weapons used in the attack and articles of clothing identical to those in pictures taken by the security camera at the museum at the time of the shooting. He also had a camera with a video where he claimed responsibility for the shooting.

2.   The suspected terrorist is Mehdi Nemmouche, a French Muslim of Algerian extraction, who has a criminal record. He was also carrying a white cloth with the name of the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) on it. The ISIS is a jihadist organization in Syria which, along with the Al-Nusra Front, serves as a magnet for European foreign fighters. According to the French prosecutor, Mehdi Nemmouche went to Syria and joined the ISIS in January 2013. After a number of months he left Syria for Germany and from there returned to France.

3. France and Belgium are the two European countries from where the largest number of foreign fighters have gone to Syria (hundreds from each) to fight in the ranks of Al-Qaeda and the global jihad. Mehdi Nemmouche fits the profile of European foreign fighters who have the potential to carry out acts of subversion and terrorism. His case may be an indication of potential translated into action and a sign that more terrorist attacks may be carried out in the West by jihadists who participated the fighting in Syria.
