Four Killed In Anti-Charlie Hebdo Protests

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 17 Januari 2015 | 18.46

At least four people have died in Niger in violent protests over the Charlie Hebdo magazine's publication of a new cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed.

Forty five people were also injured in the clashes in the second city of Zinder, with demonstrators ransacking three churches and setting fire to the French cultural centre.

Tear gas was fired during further protests in Niger on Saturday.

In Karachi, Pakistan, people were injured when protesters clashed with police outside the French consulate.

Protesters in Senegal and Mauritania torched French flags, and Qatar and Bahrain warned that the cartoon could fuel hatred.

Thousands of people around the world have been taking to the streets to vent anger at the French satirical magazine's front-cover cartoon, which features the Prophet holding a Je Suis Charlie sign under the headline "All Is Forgiven".

In Pakistan, police fired water cannon and tear gas into the air as they clashed with protesters from the Jamaat-e-Islami religious party.

The nationwide rallies followed comments by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who led parliament in condemning the cartoons in Charlie Hebdo, whose Paris offices were attacked last week, leaving 12 people dead.

A statement from one faction of the Pakistani Taliban has issued a statement lauding the Islamist Kouachi brothers who carried out the massacre, saying: "They freed the Earth from the existence of filthy blasphemers."

Insulting the Prophet carries the death penalty under Pakistan's blasphemy laws, with 14 people currently on death row.

In Jordan's capital Amman, around 2,500 protesters set off from Al Husseini mosque under tight security, holding banners that read "insulting the Prophet is global terrorism".

In Algiers, there were clashes as up to 3,000 marchers chanted: "We are all Mohammed."

Around 100 protesters rallied in Istanbul in response to a call by a group calling itself the Fraternal Platform of the Prophet's Companions, with some holding pictures of the Kouachis.

Rabbi Predicts Jewish Exodus From France

Rabbi Predicts Jewish Exodus From France

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

By David Bowden, Senior News Correspondent

The rabbi of Paris's biggest synagogue has said thousands of Jews will flee France in the wake of last week's terror attacks.

Moshe Sebbag, from the vast and ornate Grand Synagogue in the French capital, says there is likely to be a mass flight to safety if the terror threat does not diminish.

He said: "Yes I think there will be a big exodus, it's a fact, you can't ignore it.

"Already this year its estimated 7,000 will leave for Israel, but after what's happened I know that everybody, or a lot of people are looking for a way out."

Sabine is one of them. She fears the Jews in France face a threat not seen since the days of the Nazis and the Second World War.

She has three sons, the youngest of which is seven years old.

She dreamt he was killed by a terrorist who snatched him at gunpoint and has told all of her boys not to have anything that marks them out as Jewish on show in public.

She said: "I went with my son to school (non denominational) and I said to him, if someone arrives to kill people don't say that you are Jewish, never."

Sabine is already researching the possibility of buying a home in Israel, in case she determines it's too dangerous to stay in France.

She has told her older sons not to consider any higher education courses in Europe, instead advising them to study in Canada, Australia or Israel.

Sabine is not a particularly observant Jew and does not live in a Jewish enclave in Paris, but she is very apprehensive about what the future holds.

She added: "As a Jew living in Paris I feel very, very frightened. I think they wanted that and they succeeded in that."

A week after four Jewish men were killed at a kosher supermarket, Jews were back in the shops stocking up on provisions for the Sabbath, once again, though this time with soldiers on the street.

How many more times will those same people buy their goods from a French delicatessen before they deem it too dangerous to live in France at all?

Meanwhile, Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama have joined forces to fight "the poisonous narrative" of Islamist extremists.

Speaking on his way back from a meeting in Washington with Mr Obama about the terror threat following the Paris attacks, Mr Cameron said: "You can have, tragically, people who have had all the advantages of integration, who have had all the economic opportunities our countries can offer, who still get seduced by this poisonous, radical death cult of a narrative."

PM To Tackle 'Poisonous Extremism Narrative'

David Cameron has vowed to tackle what he called the "poisonous narrative of Islamist extremism that is turning too many young minds".

He was speaking following two days of talks with US President Barack Obama in Washington where they said a new group would be set up to exchange information and expertise to tackle the terror threat.

The Prime Minister wants to be able to better track suspected terrorists without undermining civil liberties and admitted there was an inability to interrupt their communications.

He pushed for tougher requirements for internet firms to alert authorities to suspicious online exchanges, ban encrypted communications and store data.

A report last year into the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby concluded that Facebook failed to pass on information that could have prevented his death.

Meanwhile, the director of Europol, Rob Wainwright, admitted to Sky News that stopping every potential attack was "very difficult" but vowed to "prevail" and said there was a determined action by police to disrupt cells.

He said it was a "very serious threat" and "large-scale problem" across many European countries and there could be thousands of suspects radicalised online and through their experiences in Syria and Iraq. 

The PM said dealing with extremism meant combating the threat in those conflict zones but also "dealing with terrorism in our own midst".

He said he had some "important discussions [with Obama] about how we combat the poisonous narrative of Islamist extremism that is turning too many young minds towards this.

"And crucially how to make sure that we are still able legally to intercept the communications of terrorists and stop them before they create mayhem and murder.

"This is controversial. We have to get it right. There's always been an inability in extremism to interrupt the communications of terrorists and to stop them doing what they plan.

"I think it's important we maintain those capabilities in the future."

The Prime Minister's policy proposals have caused concern on both sides of the Atlantic about the prospect of security efforts encroaching on privacy.

Mr Obama said it was important to be able to keep tabs on terrorists' use of the internet and social media.

"When we have the ability to track that, in a way that is legal, conforms with due process, rule of law and oversight, then that's a capability we have to preserve," Mr Obama said.

The announcement of a new group to counter extremism comes amid fears about the spread of terrorism after last week's Paris attacks that left 17 people dead and the arrest of more than two dozen people in anti-terror raids in Belgium, Germany and France.

Mr Obama said the attacks in France "underscored again how terrorist groups like al Qaeda and ISIL (Islamic State) are actively trying to inspire and support people within our own countries to engage in terrorism".

He also suggested European countries needed to make sure their Muslim populations were better "assimilated".

The two leaders also agreed to stage cyber "war games" and establish a joint "cyber cell" to boost both countries' resistance to hack attacks.

French Media Website Crash Causes Investigated

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 16 Januari 2015 | 18.46

Several French national media websites have gone down following a series of hacking incidents in the wake of last week's terror attacks.

Le Parisien, L'Express, 20 Minutes, Franvce Inter, Mediapart and Marianne have all been hit by problems - with users seeing error messages when they try to access the sites.

By 11am Oxalide, the host of the sites, said it had identified the source of the trouble but did not specify what it was.

The problems come after it was revealed that up to 19,000 French websites had been hacked by pro-Islamic State computer experts in the week since the Charlie Hebdo attacks on 7 January.

France's head of cyber-defence Rear Admiral Arnaud Coustilliere said the scope and severity of the attacks was "unprecedented".

French businesses, universities and town councils have seen their websites hacked to display pro-Islamist messages.

Many were left showing the message "The Islamic State Stay Inchallah. Free Palestine. Death To France. Death To Charlie," - an apparent reference to the deadly assault on the satirical weekly's offices.

Media organisations have not been alone in facing problems today.

Furniture store Alinea, which is also hosted by Oxalide, saw its website crash at the same time.

We Share Your Pain, Kerry Tells The French

By Sky News US Team

US Secretary of State John Kerry has arrived in Paris to express America's solidarity with the French people after last week's terrorist attacks.

Mr Kerry's visit comes amid lingering criticism of the Obama administration's failure to send a high-level official to Paris for Sunday's unity march that attracted some 40 world leaders and more than a million demonstrators.

Mr Kerry was greeted by French President Francois Hollande.

"I think you know that you have the full and heartfelt condolences of the American people and I know you know that we share the pain and the horror of everything that you went through," said Mr Kerry, who speaks fluent French.

"Our hearts are with you," added Mr Kerry, who had said he was coming "to share a big hug with Paris" - and he and the French president hugged each other.

Mr Kerry had previously dismissed criticism over the rally, though the White House said in a rare admission that it should have sent a higher-level official.

Mr Hollande said the French people "were the victims of an exceptional terrorist attack. We must, therefore, together find the necessary response".

Last week's terrorist atrocities in France led to the deaths of 17 people, including 12 at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine. A policewoman was killed in Paris and four more people were shot dead in an attack on a kosher supermarket.

Terror Suspects Planned To Kill Cops In Street

Terror Suspects Planned To Kill Cops In Street

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

The suspects killed in a Belgian anti-terror raid were poised to kill several cops in the street - and had police uniforms at their hide-out.

AK-47s, knives, Kalashnikovs and explosives were found with uniforms and fake ID during raids on an apartment in eastern Belgium.

Two suspects were killed during a raid on the apartment in Verviers - one of 10 raids across the country.

The details emerged after hundreds of police across Europe raided properties targeting Islamist terrorists.

More than 25 people were held in Germany, France and Belgium amid fears of another terror attack, following the Paris atrocities. 

Meanwhile, in the UK, Britons queued outside bookshops to buy the first Charlie Hebdo magazine since the Paris shootings.

Demand is high for the new issue, which carries a front-cover cartoon of a crying Prophet Mohammed.

Some queued from midnight, with around 1,000 copies available at UK stores, including the French Bookshop, in South Kensington, London.

In Belgium, Jewish schools were closed today and security forces surrounded the police HQ in Brussels.

At a press conference this morning, Belgian authorities said 13 people had been detained in Belgium and two in France following the raids.

Eric Van der Sypt, a Belgian federal magistrate, said the terrorists' goal was to kill police on the street or in their offices.

He said that some of the suspects had recently returned from Syria where they had been training and fighting with Islamic State.

Dieudonne Faces Trial Over Charlie Hebdo Post

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 15 Januari 2015 | 18.46

French comedian Dieudonne is to go on trial on suspicion of glorifying terrorism after he made a Facebook comment about last week's attacks in Paris.

Prosecutors opened a case against the notorious comedian on Monday after he posted the remark, which appeared to sympathise with the Islamist gunmen who left 17 people dead.

Playing on the slogan "Je suis Charlie", the comedian wrote: "Tonight, as far as I'm concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly."

The comment has since been deleted.

Amedy Coulibaly murdered a policewoman and then stormed a kosher supermarket, shooting dead four shoppers.

He claimed to have been collaborating with brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, who slaughtered 12 people at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. All three gunmen were subsequently killed in police raids.

Boko Haram Attacks: Images Are 'Shocking' Proof

Boko Haram Attacks: Images Are 'Shocking' Proof

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Satellite images of the "catastrophic" attacks on two towns in Nigeria by Boko Haram militants have been released by Amnesty International.

The campaign group says the pictures, taken on 2 and 7 January, provide "indisputable and shocking evidence" of the scale of the assaults on Baga and neighbouring Doron Baga.

It believes hundreds of people were killed and that over 3,700 structures were either damaged or destroyed in the attacks.

Other nearby towns and villages in northeastern Borno state were also targeted by the Islamists between 3 and 7 January.

"These detailed images show devastation of catastrophic proportions in two towns, one of which was almost wiped off the map in the space of four days," said Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty.

"Of all Boko Haram assaults analysed by Amnesty International, this is the largest and most destructive yet. It represents a deliberate attack on civilians whose homes, clinics and schools are now burnt-out ruins."

Approximately 620 structures were damaged or destroyed by fire in Baga, a densely populated town less than two square kilometres in size.

In Doron Baga, which is also known as Doro Gowon and is around four square kilometres, over 3,100 structures were either damaged or burnt.

Many of the wooden fishing boats along the shoreline, visible in the images taken on the 2 January, are no longer present in the 7 January photos.

This tallies with witnesses' testimony that many terrified residents fled to safety in boats across Lake Chad. 

A man in his fifties told Amnesty: "I saw maybe around 100 killed at that time in Baga. I ran to the bush. As we were running, they were shooting and killing."

Other witnesses described how Boko Haram drove into the bush rounding up women, children and the elderly.

A woman who was detained for four days said: "(They) took around 300 women and kept us in a school in Baga. They released the older women, mothers and most of the children after four days but are still keeping the younger women."

Boko Haram fighters have repeatedly targeted communities for their perceived collaboration with Nigeria's security forces.

Towns that formed state-sponsored militia groups known as the Civilian Joint Task Force (Civilian JTF) have suffered particularly brutal attacks.

Since 2009 Amnesty says thousands of people have been killed, hundreds abducted and hundreds of thousands forced to leave their homes by Boko Haram.

It is calling on Nigeria's security forces to do more to protect civilians and for the group's "war crimes and crimes against humanity" to be "duly investigated".

Paris Policewoman Run Over Outside Elysee Palace

A Paris policewoman has been hurt after a motorist drove at her outside the President's residence, according to reports.

According to newspaper reports the car had been driving the wrong way along a one-way system and left the 37-year with wrist, knee and back injuries.

Le Parisien newspaper said four suspects ran away from the car.

Two have been arrested on Rue d'Anjou and two are still on the run. French media are reporting that the driver was breathalysed and found to be over the legal alcohol limit.

Police sources said the incident appeared to be unconnected to last week's attacks in the city, which left 20 people dead.

It came ahead of more funerals for employees of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, who were killed by brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi.

Private family funerals for cartoonists Georges Wolinski, 80, and Bernard "Tignous" Verlhac, 57, were due to take place after they were shot dead by the pair.

The funeral for Franck Brinsolaro, one of the policemen killed, will take place in Sainte-Croix de Bernay, while Elsa Cayat, the only woman killed in the attacks, will be buried in Montparnasse.

Millions in France have been rallying in support of free speech after the attacks, although French prosecutors have launched more than 50 cases against people deemed to be condoning or threatening terrorist acts. 

They include one against controversial comedian Dieudonne, who was arrested Wednesday over a remark suggesting he sympathised with one of the Paris attackers.

A 21-year-old in Toulouse was also sent to prison for 10 months on Monday under France's ultra-fast-track court system, for expressing support for the jihadists.

French President Francois Hollande declared Charlie Hebdo was "alive and will live on" after its new edition sold out in record time.

The Afghan Taliban  condemned the publication in France of further cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, and lauded last week's attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices.

A English statement from the group said they "strongly condemn this repugnant and inhumane action and consider its perpetrators, those who allowed it and its supporters (to be) the enemies of humanity".

It added that the Kouachi brothers were "bringing the perpetrators of the obscene act to justice".

Charlie Hebdo Sells Out At Newsstands In Paris

Charlie Hebdo Sells Out At Newsstands In Paris

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has sold out around France after appearing for the first time since Islamist gunmen massacred 12 people at its offices.

The front cover of the magazine - which had an initial print run of three million - depicts the Prophet Mohammed holding a sign that says "Je suis Charlie,"  the slogan taken up by supporters since the attack a week ago.

Despite warnings that the image could provoke further attacks by extremists, queues formed at newsstands in the French capital from 6am and at some the issue sold out before 8am.

Charlie Hebdo distributors have since confirmed that figure will be boosted to five million copies to meet demand.

One woman working at a newspaper kiosk said: "It was incredible. I had a queue of 60-70 people waiting for me when I opened.

New Footage Of Charlie Hebdo Gun Attack

New Footage Of Charlie Hebdo Gun Attack

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

New video has emerged of the Paris gunmen on the streets of the city after carrying out their attack on Charlie Hebdo last week.

The footage shows the two masked figures calmly returning to their getaway vehicle after murdering staff at the satirical magazine.

The pair reload their weapons, before one shouts: "We have avenged the Prophet Mohammed, we have killed Charlie Hebdo."

It then shows the gunmen firing on a police car as they made their escape.

The vehicle, lights flashing, is forced to reverse at speed as the killers get out of their own car, aim their weapons and open fire.

The fundamentalist brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi killed 12 people in last Wednesday's deadly attack on Charlie Hebdo, including two policemen.

One of the officers was shot at point-blank range as he lay wounded on the ground.

Their accomplice, Amedy Coulibaly, gunned down a police officer before killing four people in a Jewish supermarket in the French capital.

All three died in shoot-outs with police on Friday.
