Mohamed Belkaid made contact with Sweden already in 2007 through the Swedish Embassy in Algeria. SvD’s previous audit could show that he had at least four identities, and that he probably left Sweden after he stabbed a person in the back with a knife. According to earlier leaked the IS document joined Belkaid, who was in Sweden for at least five years, the terrorist organization April 19, 2014.
The next time he appeared was in the Forest, a suburb of Brussels, where he was shot dead in a police raid against several suspects believed to have participated in the Paris and Brussels attacks.
When he heard that Abu Idris wanted to go to Europe to perform an operation so he decided immediately to accompany and assist in the mission.
Belkaid under Belgian security sources identified as “commander” in attacks on civilian targets. IS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attacks.
In the IS own magazine Dabiq lifted now Belkaid up as a hero. IS describes how Belkaid participated in several battles in Syria, among other things, he participated in the attacks on an air base. Belkaid is also said to have participated in the fighting in Ramadi. He will, however, have received injuries in the leg and a bullet wound in the head during the fighting in Syria.
Belkaid used four identities, before he was arrested with a false French passport in Sweden.

Uppsala researcher Evin Ismail is a doctoral student in sociology and expert on iS use of social media and Dabiq.
– the information in Dabiq usually sue pretty good apart from their propaganda and glorifying texts, says Evin Ismail.
According to Ismail, the common to the iS via Dabiq highlights the people who carried out the terrorist attacks.
– It is difficult to say how many Dabiq reach. But the newspaper says a lot about the IS state. There is a big difference in how they describe the situation now compared to, for example, before the summer of 2015. Since the bombing began, it has gone very badly for them, reflected in Dabiq and also in their social media, says Evin Ismail.
– Previously, it was more euphemistic images. But now the idea of a utopia ruptured, they are more into defense, says Evin Ismail.
The newspaper writes IS How Belkaid attended the Brussels attack:
“When he was in Belgium and at the end of preparations in Brussels, then stormed the infidel police officers ( ‘kafir police’, editor’s note) his apartment. he could have fled, but decided to give his brothers a safe flight.”
When Belkaid shot dead he should have had an IS flag and a Kalashnikov next to the body.
Under Belkaids time in Sweden, he was married and lived in New York City. He was convicted of several petty crimes during their time here. It is also clear that he was staying illegally in Sweden for several years.
