Muslim woman prevented second terror attack on Paris by tipping off police about whereabouts of ISIS

[Capt. Obvious]

The woman who gave French police the vital tip-off about the secret hiding place of the mastermind of the Paris attacks has revealed the terrifying moment she met Abdelhamid Abaaoud.

'I'd seen him on TV,' the woman said, recalling how she had accompanied Abaaoud's cousin Hasna Aitboulahcen to the fugitive's secret hiding place in a wooded area near the suburb of Aubervillier.

Realising his intentions to carry out another massacre, she tried to get Aitboulahcen drunk to stop her helping Abaaoud before secretly informing police of his plans.

Now living under police protection and fearful for her life, the woman told The Washington Post that she was a surrogate mother to Aitboulahcen and struggled with feelings of guilt over her death.

'It's important that the world knows that I am Muslim myself. It's important to me that people know what Abaaoud and the others did is not what Islam is teaching,' she said, explaining why she informed the police.

1. That's one very, very brave woman.

I hope she doesn't pay for her bravery and good character with her life.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. I Fear She's A Goner

These thugs will track her down somehow and they won't forget, and they'll use some Koranic quote to justify it.

[underahedgerow]

5. Well to argue that, these thugs are lowlives and crooks, stupid crooks to boot. They have as much

chance of finding her as they do in getting into a public stadium strapped with explosives.

Every single one of the mindless morons in this network was recruited in prison, and they were imprisoned for petty crimes, which means, they're stupid AF. All of them, every single one.

And now that their daddy bomb maker is in custody, the head has been cut off the snake.

She'll be fine. Maybe she'll move to the USA or Canada.... if that's what she wants, I hope she's afforded the opportunity.

15. She needs to be in their version of witness protection program

if they have such a thing. New identity, and new face if necessary. These people still have a hit out on Rushdie.

3. Give that woman a new identity NOW!!

She deserves that at the very least.

4. It's brave people like her that can turn around prejudices and perceptions. nt

11. Yes! I too hope this is broadcast and published widely!

The only way to fight ignorance is to fight to reduce it! This woman sacrificed a loved one for strangers she will never know. She gave up her current life and has to start over, all the while being hunted by heartless, blood thirsty killers. If that is not worthy of respect and admiration I don't know what is!

[LittleGirl]

6. This is the only way to fight

terrorism in its tracks. She's a hero and I hope she lives and long and happy and safe life.

[DesertRat]

7. I admire her bravery

Trump and his supporters need to hear stories like this. I'd like to see this story spread far and wide.

People need to see that ISIS has nothing to do with Muslims.

[blackspade]

13. They wouldn't give a shit.

It serves their political and religious agenda to demonize well over a billion people.

8. What an amazing woman and a case for prioritizing working with the Muslim community

I almost did not click on the link because it was the Daily Mail. They, however, have a link to a similar, very well written Washington Post article that gives the same story. Here is the link - if there are others like me who have little trust in the Daily Mail, a paper I first heard mentioned in "Paperback Writer". https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/one-woman-helped-the-mastermind-of-the-paris-attacks-the-other-turned-him-in/2016/04/10/66bce472-fc47-11e5-9140-e61d062438bb_story.html

Many people have suggested that we need the support of the local Muslim communities to make attacks here less likely. This article gives not just this story, but another example of a family that refused to hide another jihadi.

There was another NYT article that spoke of the dilemma that parents of radicalized youth have - http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/10/us/parents-face-limited-options-to-keep-children-from-terrorism.html?_r=0

My Hat off for this great courageous lady. I am sure if this kinda people come in front there will be no terrorism in the world

[leftynyc]

10. She's a HERO

Give her a new identity, move her where she'll feel safe.

[msanthrope]

17. Heroine. nt

[blackspade]

12. What a great person.

[surfer2009]

14. stop calling terrorist to all---

After this great deed of a Muslim women we should stop call every muslim terrorist. This will bring more closer the communities altogether.

[Surya Gayatri]

16. Trump's ugly racist nose should be rubbed in this Muslim woman's heroic story.
