A group of Islamists planned to massacre an entire French village

Six men, including a former refugee from Syria, have been transferred to the Special Juvenile Court for preparing violent actions inspired by those of the Islamic State group in a butcher’s shop in Brest until the beginning of 2020, AFP news agency learned on Thursday November 30 from a source close to the case.

The investigation began in September 2019 into Mohamad D., a Palestinian born in 1985 in Homs, Syria, who arrived in France in November 2015 with refugee status, which he has since lost.

Investigators wondered whether he regularly visited a butcher’s shop in Brest called “Chez Wahid”, whose operator Wahid B. had been convicted of glorifying terrorism the same year and was suspected of organising meetings “of the radical Islamist movement of Brest”.

According to a source familiar with the case, an appeal is pending, and if this is averted, the trial could take place at the end of 2024. France3

“You kill the whole village in one night, that’s easy”
In an audio message from the 9th of December 2019, Mohamad D. says the following to Wahid B.: “We need some training, we need weapons, and we need to learn some things (…) You can’t go too far, for example, you go to the countryside and look around. You go with four or five people, armed, you kill the whole village in one night, that’s easy (…) You have to be brave and you have to have everything planned,” adds the now 38-year-old man.

  1. White flight to rural areas may not be such a safe idea. The jihadis see you as an easy target. No hospitals or police, they can have a spree and take some hostages for fun and games or to sell on.
