Annecy tragedy
 
This terrible business in France smacks of professionalism to me. Does anybody else suspect Mossad involvement or am I being Mr Conspracy-Theorist?

Whatever it is,it sure don't look random to me.:confused:

why Mossad?, i did read that he moved from bahgdad in the 70's

and to leave 2 witnesses, is a bit shoddy, although they are 7 & 4, would have thought mossad, would have been a bit more clinical

but indications do point to "a professional" hit, i concur

Re: Annecy tragedy
 
Why Mossad? Because they are (or have been) capable of similar activities to defend their state on foreign soil in the past and have the sheer brass to do it too. A middle east connection fuels my supposition, but I'm willing to admit that a recent viewing of "Munich" may be clouding my thought processes.

That we agree on, but i heard they only was in U.K. since 2002, if thats so were they been since 70s? would be interesting to know.

that info was on bbc website earlier today, however these things only ever have sketchy details at the beginning of investigation, bbc new just said 2002, but some think it was earlier

One target and three witnesses all shot in the head- that's professional although I saw something about 19 cartridge cases found- that doesn't fit.
Beating an 8 year old half to death does't fit either but perhaps that's a line even they couldn't cross.
A satellite engineer obviously high in his profession judging from where he lived- a lot of valuable info there.

Is it really worth speculating? It could be any number of people with a cause who've been training for years to do this sort of thing, for a whole number of reasons.

One female witness said she heard the gun shots occur in under 60 seconds.

full auto pistol, rate of fire approx 1000 rounds per min, couple of seconds tops

semi auto, as fast as you can pull the trigger, 15-20 shots approx1 every 3 seconds, long time that! try it, i dont mean with a gun, but bang, one elepahant, two elephant, three elephant

Well the woman was just on the news she said it was over in less than 60 seconds, in her own words. But one report claims the victims were all shot in the forehead? How does that work out... oh sugar - I'm speculating...

close range, 3 head shots, less than 3 seconds

How do you get them all looking in the same direction to get it in the forehead - as reports have said?

temple would be classed as forehead i suppose, i took forehead has a generalisation/speculation

probably turn out to be false

or chest shots then finished off to make sure in forehead, still less than 60 sec

Skynews reports that 'the security services had a file on the victim'.

And one of his neighbours has given police details of something the victim told him before going on holiday which, in retrospect, might be relevant to the inquiry.

:confused::confused::confused:

no need to feel guilty, its what always happens, human nature.

:confused::confused::confused:

earlier in the day, they were saying, that he hadn't told neighbours about the holiday.

so much mis information in early stages, thats because police are talking to the important people, and press get those on the fringe i guess?

Just seen a guy interviewed who was reckoning it was strange he asked him to watch his house whilst on holiday,:rolleyes: Thats scraping the barrel a bit i reckon, its quite normal to me.

That's right it's the press wanting to say something when they don't have anything new to say so they just take scraps off the table.

It's the same with every incident they cover in which an investigation has to take it's course.

the whole crime is quite shocking, although i do feel we are all desensitised a little in the 21st century.

maybe they were actually looking at the shooter, there could even have been more that one shooter, but no doubt ballistics will sort that out eventually

I have read several news sites about this.

One told me something the others didn't.

It said that he had recently visited Iraq in order to try to reclaim the works premises that Saddam Hussain had confiscated.

If true - this could be the reason why someone wanted to kill him.

churchfcrules 07-09-2012 12:21

Re: Annecy tragedy
 
the more i read and think about this, based on current "evidence", i think it is going to go down as "failed carjacking"

What 'it goes down as' and 'what is really was' will not necessarily be the same.

Well as today there have been 40 people killed in Iraq from terrorist bombings etc it would seem this French incident is possibly linked as some kind of revenge attack on someone who has become a British citizen and done well for himself, may have been seen as a example by some elements who resent US and British war against the country.

highlight the "evils" of the west, by killing someone, "who as done well for themselves"?

what point would that prove?, a warning to others not to "defect"?

Well there are obviously a hardcore of people in Iraq who are still angry about what happened, that their leader was taken out and so on. It's spite but that is how some people are!

They still seem to have little idea as to who is responsible. Not much of a shock yon, n that aint intended to knock the frogs, doubt very much if it happened anywhere.

Like you say it would be the same if this happened anywhere - down a country lane - so easy for the attacker to get away fast in a vehicle - leaving no evidence... the News people are certainly really milking it and it's on every channel a lot of the time.:hidewall:

I'm not so sure. Previous attacks on symbols of the decadent West have been far less accurate eg use of Kalashnikovs, grenades, bomb etc. plus if there were any political mileage made or warning to be given would some organisation have not laid claim to it by now?

Ya E & C terrorist are not usually bothered about people knowing who did the act, in fact they make a point of taking credit for it, whereas this incident very few clues were left and the ones killed were shot twice in the head execution style, there could even have been more than one person involved in the killings

Well what's happening today is the Bomb Squad have cordoned the house and neighbours houses in Claygate Surrey - as suspicious objects have been found? So more room for speculation!;)
