Female Bomber in Paris

The moroccan-descent woman who was reported to be killed in the raid.

This is an interesting story.

First reports came out she detonated her own bomb. That she was asked “where is your boyfriend?” and she said “He’s not my boyfriend” in reference to the mastermind of the attacks who is her cousin.

Then some reports here and there of her screaming “Help me”, by some news outlets, which I found odd, and then boomb her suicide vest went off.

First story reported was that she detonated the vest herself. She was labeled the first female bomber, and reports of her radicalization began coming out.

Muslims on social media, esp notable ones that people seem to follow on social media more, came out and revealed she and her cousin were both tremendous trouble makers. Involved in drugs/alcohol, etc. She was reported to drink alcohol, wear cowboy hats, have boyfriends, and there was a picture of her even in a bubble bath seductively sitting there with just a necklace on.

Once it became apparent, she wasn’t the religious type to begin with and her radicalization may have happened fairly later and close to these events, the story began changing.

She now is no longer a bomber. She didn’t detonate her vest. The vest was detonated by someone else in the apartment. She was actually being held hostage.

Am I reading too much into this, or when it was no longer convenient to show “Look, this is what muslim women become when they start getting into their religion”, then it was more convenient to show her as a “victim” when it was revealed she was very far from her religion?

This has been bothering me. What made the story change? The testimonies of the anti-terror force could not possibly have changed over a matter of days. They were there and they remember what they saw. Regardless of which story is the true one, why was there a change in the narrative of that story so suddenly? Coincidence or she just no longer was fitting the media narrative of a muslim = bad?

The first female suicide bomber is said to be *Thenmozhi Rajaratnam *in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.

Re: Female Bomber in Paris

PCG, where did you get the bit about her being held hostage because I'd read that she'd been 'troubled' but was the cousin of the guy who was in charge and assumed she'd willingly been there..

I'd assumed the story had changed as new evidence had emerged about another terrorist also being there and detonating his suicide belt, killing her in the process.. I hadn't thought it would be much of a stretch to believe he may not have been visible or if he was he hadn't been thought of as responsible for her killing as well with all the chaos and body parts flying around..

                                                     She was hardly a model Muslim before she became an ISIS  suicide bomber — drinking booze, hanging out with drug dealers and  posing for naked photos in a bubble bath.

Before-and-after photos of Paris terrorist Hasna Aitboulahcen, 26, show her radical transformation from a hard-partying clubgoer nicknamed “Cowgirl” into a violent Muslim extremist.
In one picture obtained by DailyMail.com, she is seen soaking nude in a tub, covered by only a necklace and bubbles.
Another shows her lounging in a tank top wearing heavy makeup while pouting at the camera.
Her brother, Youssouf Aitboulahcen, said his estranged sister preferred the Internet to Islam — and first put on a veil just a month ago.
“She was living in her own world. She was not interested in studying her religion. I never saw her open the Koran. She was permanently on her phone, looking at Facebook or WhatsApp,” Youssouf Aitboulahcen told DailyMail.com.
Hasna Aitboulahcen’s nickname was “Cowgirl.”Photo: Facebook/The Sun Neighbors told the Times of London that Aitboulahcen was considered a bad Muslim, and a female friend said she once caused a scene while wasted in a German nightclub.
“She got very drunk and sprayed tear gas around the whole place,” the pal said.
“Basically, she just got angry with a guy who was trying to chat her up and became furious.”
“I think she had a very disturbed childhood, and she had a lot of problems. She really did drink a lot,” the woman added.
Another friend, Amin Abou, 26, described her as a “party animal who loved clubbing.”
“She drank alcohol and smoked and went around with lots of different guys,” he said.

On Wednesday morning, Hasna Aitboulahcen tried to lure French cops to their deaths by screaming, “Help me! Help me!” as more than 100 anti-terror forces stormed an apartment building north of Paris in pursuit of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the mastermind behind Friday’s terror attacks.
The two have been identified as cousins, and the Times reported that “it is believed that she was also married to him.”
When a cop yelled out, “Where’s your boyfriend?” she answered, “He’s not my boyfriend!” according to a recording that also captured the sound of roaring gunfire.
Aitboulahcen then emptied the magazine of a Kalashnikov assault rifle before blowing herself up and becoming Europe’s first female suicide bomber.
The explosive vest she triggered killed a police dog named Diesel and ripped her to shreds, sending her head and spine hurtling out a window.
“After a long firefight, we heard a loud explosion,” French police chief Jean-Michel Fauvergue told the Daily Mirror.
“The windows of an apartment were shattered, blown from inside to out . . . That’s when we saw a human body, a woman’s head, fly through the window and land on the pavement — on the other side of the street.”
Abaaoud, who had mounted several failed terror plots prior to the coordinated strikes that killed 129 people last week, also died during the seven hours of fighting, during which cops fired 5,000 bullets.
Eight other people suspected of plotting a second wave of attacks were arrested, including a man who was hauled away naked from the waist down.
Aitboulahcen’s parents immigrated to France in 1973, and she was born in 1989 in the Parisian suburb of Clichy-la-Garenne.
She was raised by a foster family, her brother said, and a neighbor described her to the Times as a “tomboy” who was “not afraid of anyone.”
Aitboulahcen had been put under “triple surveillance” by French intelligence, judges and police for drug- and terror-related activities, according to the Telegraph.
Meanwhile, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton admitted that his cops may not be able to stop a Paris-style attack on the Big Apple, saying, “The whole city is a soft target.”
“Even with 35,000 cops, we cannot be everywhere,” he said during a Manhattan Institute luncheon at 7 World Trade Center.
“The reality is that we’re a huge city. We can’t protect everything all the time with the significance that we do at Times Square or here at the World Trade Center.”
