4 hostages killed in Paris Jewish supermarket

Shavua tov, a good week to everyone.

Four people were killed on Friday when an Islamic terrorist entered a Paris Kosher supermarket on Friday afternoon. 15 other hostages escaped when police stormed the supermarket. The terrorist who perpetrated the attack (and also murdered a Paris police officer on Thursday) was killed, as were the two Charlie Hebdo terrorists who took hostages in a printing plant outside Charles DeGaulle Airport. The three terrorists were in constant contact with each other.

Let's go to the videotape.

Here's a bit more.

Four of the hostages who were held at the kosher supermarket were murdered by terrorist Amedy Coulibaly when he entered the store, just a few hours before French President Francois Hollande denounced what he called “an appalling anti-Semitic act.” Fifteen other hostages survived the ordeal.

Yesterday, Coulibaly murdered a police officer in Montrouge, south of Paris. His female companion, Hayat Boumeddiene, is said to still be at large.  During the simultaneous sieges, the couple reportedly spoke more than 500 times to the Charlie Hebdo killers, Charif and Said Kouachi, who were cornered by police at a printing shop to the northeast of Paris.

According to French media reports, Coulibaly and Cherif Kouachi were two of the most committed followers of convicted terrorist Djamel Beghal. Telephone conversations reveal that the pair visited Beghal’s home in Murat in the south of France.

French President Francois Hollande described the events as “a tragedy for the nation”.
In a national address, he thanked the security forces for their “courage, bravery and efficiency,” but added that France still faced threats.

“We have to be vigilant. I also ask you to be united – it’s our best weapon,” he said.

“We must be implacable towards racism,” he added, saying that the supermarket attack was an “appalling anti-Semitic act.”

Read it all.

It's too late for France - they let too many Islamic terrorists in and now they cannot get rid of them all. Let the rest of Europe - which is headed in the same direction - learn before it is too late.
