gordon and i said we had heard an expert from deakin university saying that the guy had mobile phone limks to other jihadists, had been rehearsing the attack, had been recently attending mosque and YOU said, and i quote
gordon and aquascoot tell lies.
but you wont admit it, so , it would seem a waste of time to engage with your trolling.
You need to learn how to quote properly, my boy.
"I'm saying you and Gordon are known to lie.
"Who was the "expert", and what exactly did he say?And then, no answer from you.
Check ... mate!
the transcript from mondays ABC interview.
apologise later. gewggy.....
Greg barton is a professor at deakin university
this from mondays interview on radio national
GREG BARTON: It seems most likely that he was inspired by the group but there's evidence coming to light just in the last few hours that he had been radicalised in last few months.
Nice is a hotbed of recruitment to jihadi extremism and foreign terrorist fighters, so it's entirely possible that somebody in the Nice region got alongside him. He was reported as beginning to attend mosque in April and in recent weeks espousing extremist ideas.
And critically there are allegations of intercepted text messages or recovered text messages when he was asking an associate for weapons 30 minutes before launching the truck attack.
So that suggests that he wasn't radicalised by himself and he wasn't necessarily acting entirely by himself .
But it's looking more and more likely that a link with Islamic State can be established.
SARAH SEDHGI: He says Mohamed Bouhlel had a history of violence.
GREG BARTON: Look, one question that arises with an attack like Bouhlel's truck attack, it's very callous and it's very horrible, and we know this individual had a history of anger management issues and extreme violence.
He was a very damaged individual, and historically terrorists have been wary of engaging damaged individuals, they want people who are compliant and obedient and reliable. IS is different.
IS goes looking for damaged goods and turns them into weapons. And so this fits a pattern we've seen before. It certainly, in that respect, is not dissimilar to the story of Man Haron Monis and the Lindt Cafe.
IS is actually looking out, trying to call out people like Bouhlel. It requires more than propaganda, it requires getting alongside them and recruiting them at some point generally speaking but this is exactly the sort of pattern we've now begun to associate with Islamic State.
SARAH SEDHGI: Yasmina Touaibia, a political scientist from the University of Nice, says Nice is one of the main places in France where people have been recruited to fight in Syria, and where radical messages are being spread.
