PARIS: French authorities filed terror charges on Friday against two men, including Pakistani national Mohammad Usman, who are suspected to be members of the same militant Islamic State (IS) group cell that massacred 130 people in Paris last November, a judicial source said.

The 35-year-old Pakistani Mohammad Usman and 29-year-old Algerian Adel Haddadi were charged with “criminal conspiracy with terrorists”, the source said of the men turned over earlier Friday by Austrian authorities.

Investigators believe they travelled to the Greek island of Leros on October 3 on the same boat full of refugees as two men who took part in the November 13 attacks.

Those two, thought to be Iraqis, blew themselves up outside the Stade de France stadium, one of a series of brazen assaults by around 10 people around the French capital.

But Haddadi and Usman were held up, detained by Greek authorities for 25 days because they had fake Syrian passports.

Once let go, they followed the main migrant trail and made it to Salzburg in western Austria at the end of November — after the Paris attacks.

Austrian police commandos then arrested them in December at a migrant centre a few hours after French authorities informed them the men could be in the country.

After his arrest, Haddadi told investigators that he wanted to go to France to “carry out a mission,” according to a statement seen by AFP.

A source close to the investigation said that Haddadi “was meant to take part in the Paris killings with his travelling companions”.

After France filed a European arrest warrant, a court in Salzburg approved at the beginning of July the transfer of the two men to France. Prosecutors said on Friday that both have now “left the country”.

Usman is reportedly thought to be a bomb maker for Pakistani militant organisations including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

India holds LeT, allegedly linked to Al Qaeda, responsible for attacks in 2008 in Mumbai that killed 166 people.

Usman unsuccessfully appealed against his transfer from Austria, saying he would not get a fair trial in France and that he feared for his safety.

Salzburg prosecutors added Friday that two more men, a Moroccan and an Algerian arrested eight days after the others, remained in custody.

In December prosecutors had said that the men, aged 25 and 40 at the time, were being held “because of indications of close contact” with the two now transferred to France.

Austria to extradite Pakistani over suspected Paris attack links

A Pakistani man suspected of links to the jihadists who killed 130 people in Paris in November will be extradited to France, an Austrian court spokesman said on Wednesday.

He and an Algerian man came into contact with the Paris attackers in Austria, Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten reported after the men were arrested in a refugee center in the city of Salzburg last December.
The Algerian man would also be extradited following a ruling by a court in Salzburg, news agency Austria Presse Agentur reported, but no one at that court was available for comment.

French newspaper Le Monde has reported that the two men traveled together from Syria to the Greek island of Leros with the two Iraqi brothers who blew themselves up near the Stade de France national stadium outside Paris on Nov. 13.

"The extradition of the Pakistani man was declared admissible," a spokesman for a regional court in the Austrian city of Linz said, declining to give any further details.

The two men were first arrested on Leros during a passport check on Oct. 3, as one of them could not speak Arabic very well and the other was unable to describe Aleppo, which was cited as his birthplace on his passport, the Le Parisien paper has said.

Both men were released three weeks later and went to Austria, where they were arrested again.

French police have filed terrorist charges today against two men suspected of being part of the same ISIS cell behind the massacre of 130 people in Paris in November.

A 29-year-old Algerian, Adel Haddadi,
and Mohamad Usman, 35, from Pakistan, have been charged with 'criminal conspiracy with terrorists'.

Both men are believed to have been extradited to France from Austria.

A source close to the investigation said Haddadi 'was meant to take part in the Paris killings with his travelling companions.'

The killers, thought to be Iraqis, blew themselves up outside the Stade de France during a France v Germany friendly match, one of a series of brazen assaults by around 10 people around the French capital.

Nine terrorists, including the mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud, were killed on November 13 or in a shootout with police in St Denis a few days later.

Salah Abdeslam (left) and Mohamed Abrini (right) are both alleged to have been involved in the Paris attacks. They were arrested in Belgium in March and April this year

Two other men, Salah Abdeslam and Mohamed Abrini, have since been arrested and are awaiting trial for their part in the attacks.
Haddadi and Usman had been detained by Greek authorities for 25 days because they had fake Syrian passports.
They were then apparently freed, rather than being deported back to Turkey, and made their way by stealth to Salzburg in Austria a few weeks after the Paris attacks.
In December Haddadi and Usman were arrested by Austrian police, acting on a warrant from the French authorities.
After his arrest Haddadi apparently told investigators he had planned to go to France to 'carry out a mission'.

People pray, place flowers and light candles in tribute for the victims of the 13 November Paris attacks. One of the men charged in France today was allegedly planning to take part in the attacks but was held up by immigration officials in Greece

Usman was allegedly a bomb maker in his native Pakistan for extremist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba.
India claims Lashkar-e-Taiba was responsible for the attacks in 2008 in Mumbai that killed 166 people.
Usman was extradited from Austria despite claiming he would not get a fair trial in France and feared for his safety.
Salzburg prosecutors said today two more men, a Moroccan and an Algerian arrested eight days after the others, remain in custody.

"Usman is reportedly thought to be a bomb maker for Pakistani militant organisations including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). India holds LeT, allegedly linked to Al Qaeda, responsible for attacks in 2008 in Mumbai that killed 166 people"

ISIS & Let link is confirmed now. Recently Afganistan also blamed Let supporting ISIS in Afganistan. Another jolt to Pakistans reputation

Let's reserve on this until matter goes to court. There is these days significant inertia to blame evereything on Pakistani's. Partly the massive Indian lobby has contributed to this but also Pakistani's don't help when they cry about the whole "ummah" as if it is they are contractors for it.

The poor guy is most likely a illegal migrant who at some stage shared the same breathing space with the Algerians and now is suspected simply because he also happens to be Pakistani.

One thing though I will tell all the Pakistani's here. If anything, anything mildly negative, even remotely connected with "Pakistan" and you will get 1,000,000,000,000 Indian's go into state of tantric, orgasmic delight and their heads start shaking in epileptic fit in near danger of falling of. They all shout "Pakistan, Pakistan, Pakistan, Pakistan".

However the moment anything remotely positive is mentioned - then "oh there was no Pakistan". "Oh it was India". "Oh we talk in civilizational terms".

Well how about now saying "Indian [sub continental] man arrested on suspicion of terrorism".

No?

And for the Pakistani's here how about:-

* Muslim arrested on suspicion of terrorism.
*Desi arrested on suspicion of terrorism
* Asian arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

So many presumptions in advance !

Pakistan can keep on ignoring these issues citing conspiracy theorists.. but alas.. one day when you wakeup, there are going to be sanctions and its not the elite or the keyboard warriors, but a common pakistani will be suffering most.. and those students who go to europe or US will face the troubles.
