Mohamed Houli, one of the three jihadists condemned by the, has joined this Thursday, without contributing any evidence, to the theory of conspiracy promoted by Junts per Catalunya. and under the surveillance of two countrymen, Houli-who celebrates a 43-year penalty in the Córdoba prison-has directed in the Investigation Commission of the 17-A Congress some brief words to the deputies who coincide with the Alternative thesis promoted by both Carles Puigdemont and the retired ex -commissioner: “The CNI was aware of the intentions of the magnet and allowed the magnet to eat our heads. I say it now and I didn’t say it before for fear of reprisals. But I’m already condemned and I have nothing to lose. ”
Except for the deputy of Junts Pilar Calvo, who has even expressed some solidarity with him (“I regret that a 20 -year -old boy”), the rest of the groups has denounced that Houli has presented himself as a victim, and not as a perpetrator, of an attack that left 16 dead and more than 300 injured. The PP deputies, in fact, have abandoned the Chamber before the unusual appearance “in memory of the people killed by terrorism”, in the words of Deputy Santi Rodríguez.
or to provide any evidence that supports your statements. He has emerged a conversation that once maintained, supposedly, with Mohamed Hicamy, another of the Ripoll (Girona) cell members who led the night attack to Cambrils after. “Mohamed Hichamy told us that, sometimes, when they met with the magnet, he told them that they had to go because CNI agents were coming. It’s the only thing I can say. ” To questions from the deputy of Esquerra Francesc Marc-Alvaro, he has admitted that his statements are a “conjecture” and that he is not in a position to provide information. “I have no evidence, what I want is to look for,” he said.
On the night of August 16, 2017, that the terrorist cell had occupied in Alcanar (Tarragona). There they accumulated a lot of explosives with the intention, allegedly, to commit a great attack with bombs in the environments of the Sagrada Familia and Camp Nou. The explosion, however, forced its members to change the plans, and that was the origin of what ended up being 17-A: the massive outrage in the Rambla and the subsequent attack on the Paseo Marítimo de Cambrils. Houli was injured in the explosion that night, when he was outside the house, while the two people who accompanied him (Ripoll’s magnet, Abdelbaki is Satty, alleged brain of the attacks; and Yousseff Aalla, one of his disciples) were inside and died on the spot.
“We were well integrated boys”
The theory of conspiracy, orchestrated by sectors of Junts per Catalunya, argues that the CNI (which had been in contact with Es Satty during his prison stay due to drug trafficking three years before) knew the plans of the cell and did not prevent them To derail the independence process in Catalonia. And it points, among other things, that the magnet did not really die in the explosion. “I thought I had died at home. But there are strange things, over time you are thinking … ”, Houli has speculated, convicted of belonging to terrorist organization. Houli, who once explained the plans of the cell to attack, for example, the sacred family, said Wednesday in Congress that he did “pressured” and has insisted that his intention is to find out who “allowed the magnet Believe at ease and did what he did. ” “I am in jail, but those who had to watch the magnet are not.”
Houli has sought a difficult balance between the assumption of his role in fact the need to lighten his responsibility as an immature young man who got carried away. He has not been able to verbalize too much how his radicalization process was and he has blamed Es Satty. “We were well integrated boys, we had never given problems to anyone. The magnet came and this happened. ” “As much as I say, the pain they feel [las víctimas]I can’t do anything. I was young, they ate my head and that’s it. Now I would not be able to do it. I have never hurt anyone or get into trouble. Let’s leave it like that. ”
