He was a “lone wolf,” we’re told, and yet he plotted a massacre much like many, many other Muslims have plotted jihad massacres around the world in recent years. These “lone wolves” are tied together by a common religious perspective, ideology, and goal. It should also be remembered that the Islamic State has repeatedly called upon Muslims in Western countries to mount “lone wolf” jihad massacres in places where large crowds will be found.
“FOOTIE TERROR PLOT ‘Lone wolf ISIS fanatic, 33, plotted to turn Barcelona – Real Madrid fans to mincemeat using drone bombs,’” by Gerard Couzens, The Sun, May 18, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
AN alleged ‘lone wolf’ terrorist planned to target a Barcelona-Real Madrid match with a drone carrying explosives, it was claimed today.
The 33-year-old Moroccan confided his twisted idea to police after his arrest, according to a leading Spanish TV station.
Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico, which published more details about his sick ‘drone plan’, said he was forced to ditch the project for a knife attack after football matches were banned because of coronavirus.
It also claimed the out-of-work waiter told a Syrian-based Islamic State mentor blamed for helping to radicalise him before his arrest: “One of these days I’ll die.
“I’m going to be a meat mincing machine. I’m not afraid.”
‘IMMINENT ATTACK’Police sources quoted by the newspaper said they were working on the theory he was planning to use a knife in an “imminent attack” on people queuing for food outside a supermarket or travelling by tube in Barcelona.
Spanish press have named the suspect, said to have lost his job and moved in with a Good Samaritan colleague after the cafe-bar where he worked closed down during the Covid-19 lockdown, as Mohammed Yassin.
The name and the drone claims have not been confirmed by police as is normal in Spain – where suspects are never usually named before trial.
Spanish police described him as a “real threat to security” when they announced his arrest and said he had wanted to carry out a terrorist act which could have involved the use of knives or a vehicle as a weapon.
The Civil Guard added in a statement at the time, referring to ISIS by its acronym DAESH: “The arrested man’s radicalisation and affinity for DAESH dates back at least four years.
“During the current state of emergency that process of radicalisation culminated and became highly noticeable and worrying.
“The initial police hypothesis linked this extreme activation of his activity to DAESH calls for lone wolves in western countries to mobilise and carry out attacks in the towns and cities where they lived.
“Since the spread of coronavirus throughout Europe, several terrorist attacks committed by sole individuals have taken place, using knives or vehicles to run over victims.
“The man arrested has been observed regularly breaching the coronavirus confinement established as part of the state of emergency.
“He was seen moving around Barcelona and appearing to search for possible objectives.”…
