Christophe Caze
Christophe Caze (22 October 1969–29 March 1996) was a French terrorist and criminal, a former medical student in Lille, France. Caze was one of France's foremost terrorists.
Caze was raised Catholic.[1] A medical student,[1] he travelled to Bosnia in 1992 to practice medicine, working at the Zenica hospital.[2] He converted into Islam and joined the Bosnian mujahideen in the Bosnian War, a unit that fought Jihad against Serbs.[1] He became an extremist, and is reported to have played football with heads of decapitated Serbs.[1] Abu Hamza al-Masri, who was a Bosnian mujahideen, was the religious guide of Christophe Caze.[3] Another French convert was Lionel Dumont, who also joined the mujahideen.
He returned to France a radical Islamist, and became the leader of a GIA group based in Roubaix, the "Gang de Roubaix".[1] The group robbed banks, armoured cars and supermarkets with machine guns and grenade launchers.[1]
In March 1996 the group planned to assassinate international leaders at the G7 meeting in Lille, using a car bomb.[1] French police found the bomb, and then killed four in the group in an apartment shootout.[1] Caze escaped but was shot dead the next day after trying to ram a police checkpoint,[1] on motorway E17 near Kortrijk, Belgium. His address book was found to contain the contact information for Algerian resident in Canada, Fateh Kamel, another Bosnian mujahideen and suspect of militant ties.[4]
