It again surfaced. At the center of Mohamed Merah file, the jihadi sector of Artigat, in Ariege, made news again on Monday after the revelations of the World on the planned attack Sid Ahmed Ghlam in a church in Villejuif.

Fabien Clain, near Merah, and Artigat

A survey in which the name of Fabien Clain flat as a spectrum. This Toulousain, 36, a native of Reunion, is suspected to have played an important role in the indoctrination of two men from Syria sponsors the planned attack Sid Ahmed Ghlam. Sentenced in 2009 as part of a jihadist routing die in Iraq in 2000, Fabien Clain had left to join the ranks of Daech in Syria with his brother Jean-Michel after his release in 2014.

Just like Mohamed Merah, whom he was close, Toulousain 36 years made its ranges in the famous chain of Artigat. This small village in the bucolic setting Ariege is indeed a high place of the family of French jihadism, the heavy burden since the early 2000s, and the starting jihadists in Iraq.

Olivier Corel, “white emir” of the Ariege

Often worried, never condemned, the name of Olivier Corel, 63, returns insistently about the radicalization of these Muslim youth by the die of Artigat. This Franco-Syrian, billed as “the white emir” of the Ariege, who lives in the village since the 90s, saw his name mentioned in Toulouse die affair routing jihadists in Iraq and, more recently, as part of the closing of the investigation of the Merah case, in which he was arrested. Although the two cases have not led to any convictions, Olivier Corel is still accused by Abdelghani Merah, the eldest of the siblings in family breakdown, to have been “aware of all the doings of Mohammed” but also its “intentions”.

Far from its original Ariege, the sector of Artigat is not much less strongly active. Besides suspicions about Fabien Clain, another former Sabri Essid, made about him in Syria. The man of 31, “half-brother” of Mohamed Merah, is today one of the French standards of Daech. After joining Syria in 2014 with Thomas Barnouin, another member of the Artagat sector, it was identified in a video a little more pushing the limits of horror, which had been a French investigation .

Just as Barnouin or the brothers Clain, Essid was being monitored by the intelligence services, which were able to prevent his departure. Malfunction more in the fight against jihadism
