Abaaoud, a 28-year-old Belgian and the son of a Moroccan shopkeeper, joined the ranks of the Islamic State a few years ago. Calling himself a terrorist tourist on his Facebook page, Abaaoud was also linked by French officials to a failed assault on a Paris-bound high-speed train in August and a plot to attack a church in the city in April.
Belgian security officials began tracking him in March 2014 after he appeared in a video behind the wheel of a pickup truck dragging mutilated bodies to a mass grave.

Is this not insane? What is the point of having all this information on people if you can't act on it before they strike?
