Terror: Were gunmen, left, tied to ISIS, top right?







The mystery of which terror group was responsible for the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris deepened after it emerged Islamic State killers may have known about the plot.Many experts believe the shootings were plotted by Islamic State, despite claims that the killers bragged they were “from al-Qaeda in Yemen”.Chillingly a well-known Islamic State jihadist fighting on the Syrian frontline tweeted the day BEFORE the attacks, hinting that France would suffer a tragedy with a reference to "snail-eating people" - presumably the French dish escargot, or snails - and a crying emoticon face.FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES VISIT OUR LIVE BLOG:Less than two hours after 12 innocent people were killed he tweeted again to say: "You heard it here first."The Maldives-born man, thought to be an IS fighter in his 20s, uses the twitter name @PaladinOfJihad to spout his murderous beliefs.His first post dropped the day before the attack, which happened just before midday and then just after the attack he posted the following claim: “You heard it here first. #SnailEaters ate lead. #DustNeverSettledDown.”



 Jihadist Anwar al-Awlaki wrote a book called The Dust Will Never Settle about the ongoing struggle for jihad.Awlaki was a radical American-born cleric who was the first US citizen to be killed in a drone strike and was aged 40 when he was blown up by a CIA Hellfire missile in Yemen.Jihadists all over the world have huge respect for Awlaki, who was a major al-Qaeda figure - even though Islamic State are disenfranchised from Ayman Zawahiri’s group.

 One counter-terror source told The Daily Mirror tonight: “It is extremely odd that nobody has claimed this as a victory but it does have the hallmark of an Islamic State attack.“Claims that they are al-Qaeda are confusing because IS and al-Qaeda are enemies even though across-the-board Awlaki is revered.“The jihadis do deals between each group and they do have some contact – it’s not as black and white as it may have seemed previously.“Especially since it does appear that IS knew about the attack before it happened.“This fighter tweeting this has been vague but precise as well and clearly wanted to advertise the fact that he is in the know on what is happening.”

Further evidence that Islamic State was involved in the attack also emerged as an armed-services adviser to President Hollande, Professor Jean-Pierre Filiu, said he found links between the Paris suspects and Islamic State.He said that a French-Tunisian jihadist Boubaker el-Hakim and member of Islamic State was part of the same “Butte-Chaumont” network in Paris as suspect Cherif Kourachi.Hakim assassinated two Tunisian politicians in 2013 and he “represents the link between the Kouachi brothers and [Islamic State]”, the professor said.“I am sure that the video claiming responsibility is already prepared.”
