But obviously the mosque was not monitored well enough. And he was well known to security services but still running around loose and not being watched. This shows yet again that existing counterterror efforts are simply not adequate to deal with the real threat.
“CALL TO ARMS Vienna shooting: ISIS gunman ‘sent Charlie Hebdo massacre vid to accomplices’ hours before slaughtering 4,” by Henry Holloway, The Sun, November 3, 2020:
…At least 14 people have been arrested in 18 raids as more than 1,000 cops were deployed to probe the case.
Detectives are probing a now closed Instagram account which they consider “likely” to have belonged the attacker, reports Bild.
The German daily also reported cops investigating the two recipients of the Charlie Hebdo video as part of the case….
ISIS urged jihadis to “spill the blood of Crusaders” in “revenge” for cartoons in an “incendiary campaign”….
The picture is starting to emerge of Fejzulai, a 20-year-old who held dual citizenship in Austria and North Macedonia.
It emerged he was well known to security services, having previously been jailed after travelling to the Middle East to join ISIS.
Interior minister Karl Nehammer confirmed Fejzulai was an “ISIS sympathiser” and he had been released early from prison due to his young age….
He also pledged allegiance to ISIS leader “The Professor” Abdullah Qardash, who was appointed after the US killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
And he is said to have posted pictures of bullets and declared the ISIS “remains and is expanding” – a popular phrase among supporters of the group since its collapse as a state in the Middle East.
Falter reported he was in prison for just seven and a half months – less than half of his 22 month sentence – after being caught trying to join ISIS in 2019.
It reported he became radicalised as a teenager as he dealt with problems at school and at home, with his family not being strictly religious.
He is reported to have become a member of a mosque which was already being monitored by security services.
Fejzulai is reported to have admitted he had “got into the wrong mosque” when he appeared before a judge in 2019….
Fejzulai was being monitored by the security services, but was not deemed to be a domestic terror threat….
