Info Marianne: Jihadist Peter Chérif, possible sponsor of the Charlie Hebdo attack, is in the hands of the French police

The jihadist, a friend of the Kouachi brothers, is suspected of being the mastermind behind the attack on Charlie Hebdo. He is in the hands of the French police, "Marianne" learned this Thursday, December 20.

This is a huge catch for French services. French jihadist Peter Chérif, who has been on the run since 2011, is in the hands of the French police, a government source confirmed on Thursday 20 December to Marianne. He was arrested in Djibouti and is currently being extradited to France. This friend of the Kouachi brothers, also known as Abu Hamza, is one of the most wanted terrorists in the world. A member of the jihadist network in the Buttes-Chaumont region in the late 1990s, he is suspected of being one of the instigators of the Charlie Hebdo attack.


At 36, his jihadist CV is already particularly thick. A former juvenile offender, he fought in Iraq in the early 2000s, before being arrested, escaped and then handed over to French justice. Left at liberty before his trial, he escaped on the last day of his trial, in January 2011. To Yemen. He joined the ranks of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQPA) and was for a time joined by a certain number of people.... Saïd Kouachi.

The police suspect him of being one of the instigators, if not the main mastermind behind Charlie Hebdo's attack, and of having also been in contact with Amedy Coulibaly, the author of the Hyper Cacher attack. One detail particularly intrigues investigators: Peter Chérif followed a truck driver training course in Dammartin-en-Goële, just next to the printing plant where the Kouachi brothers took refuge. The jihadist will now be available for questioning.

Four years after the attack on Charlie Hebdo, security costs are soaring.


Invited this morning to France info, four years after the attack on Charlie Hebdo, the director of the satirical newspaper, Riss, explained that the costs to ensure the security of the premises and staff were 1.5 million euros each year. A situation that is "not sustainable", he says. He also reviewed the threats to the Internet press and the life of the newspaper since the 2015 attack.

Riss, director of Charlie Hebdo, was the guest of France info on Monday, January 7, 2019, four years to the day after the Kouachi brothers' attack on the satirical newspaper. He went back to the "huge sums" that the weekly spends each year to ensure its safety. "Every year, we have to spend about 1.5 million euros to ensure the security of the premises and a whole lot of other things," he explained, adding that it is with its own cash flow that the newspaper pays for these costs.

There is "to date", no state assistance, he said, even though he said he was in contact with people "in the ministries" to discuss a possible public contribution to Charlie Hebdo's security costs.

"No media is in this situation, especially with such amounts of money," added Riss. A newspaper like Charlie, with such costs, is not sustainable in the long run. So if we want to keep it that way, we will have to solve this issue. »


About cartoonist Alex, from Le Courrier Picard, threatened with death for publishing a cartoon of the yellow vest Éric Drouet, he said he regretted that over the past four years, "things have become disinhibited" and that "people are making death threats, often not even realizing that what they are doing is totally illegal."

He said that Alex's complaint was a good thing, adding that Charlie Hebdo's editorial staff, "on principle", files a complaint as soon as they receive a death threat. "This cartoonist is right, because we need to make people responsible for sending messages on the Internet. They must be made aware that this can have criminal consequences. Unfortunately, there are too many people who think that the Internet means total impunity. »

On a more personal level, he explained that he had already thought about leaving the newspaper to return to "a normal life", but that he had decided to continue running the satirical weekly.

He also assured that the commemoration of this fourth anniversary did not change much, because the 2015 attack is in our minds every day: "It's a little every day on January 7, for us. »

He also added that there was always laughter in Charlie Hebdo's hallways, "otherwise it wouldn't be possible". "You also have to do Charlie Weekly for fun. Beyond Charlie Hebdo, I don't think we can live without having a little fun, though. »

Paris: Hommage aux victimes des attentats de «Charlie Hebdo» et de l'Hyper Cacher, quatre ans après

Four years ago, in January 2015, a deadly terrorist raid took place in Paris: the editorial staff of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper was decimated by an attack, a policeman was killed and customers of a Parisian supermarket were also killed. On Monday, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner and his Secretary of State Laurent Nunez will visit the scene to pay tribute to the victims, in the presence of their families.

The Minister of Justice Nicole Belloubet and the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo are accompanying them. They will first go to the scene of the Charlie Hebdo attack, where eleven people were killed by the Kouachi brothers. They will then stop in front of the plaque commemorating the death of police lieutenant Ahmed Merabet on Richard Lenoir Boulevard.

Finally, the delegation is meeting in front of the Hyper-Cacher, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, where four clients were killed by Amedy Coulibaly on 8 January 2015.

"In accordance with the wishes of the families," reads a statement, "the programme of this commemoration is sober: the authorities will lay a wreath, then before singing the Marseillaise, a minute's silence will be respected for the victims. The ministers and the mayor will then greet the families."

Another victim of the terrorist attacks was police officer Clarissa Jean-Philippe, murdered in Montrouge by Amedy Coulibaly.

Hayat Boumeddiene reportedly dead following an airstrike in #Baghouz. One of the world's most wanted women fleeing France before husband Amedy Coulibaly killed a policeman & 4 Jews at a kosher supermarket in '15. Islamic State media interview said she made it to ISIS territory


French jihadis killed in last Islamic State holdout in Syria

Boumeddiene was killed in a separate airstrike in Baghouz about a week ago, Maquere said. Two other French citizens who left Baghouz on Monday — a French-Belgian who identified herself as Zohra and a French-Moroccan,who refused to be identified said Boumeddiene was believed to have been staying in the French House and confirmed it was struck last week.

Boumeddiene was the widow of Amedy Coulibaly, a Frenchman who attacked a kosher supermarket in Paris in January 2015, days after two other militants — brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi— gunned down the staff of the weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Coulibaly killed four people in the supermarket before French police stormed in and killed him. The Kouachi brothers were killed by police in a separate raid. All told, their attacks left 17 people dead.

Investigators then focused on finding Boumeddiene, who was believed to be pregnant at the time. But she had already fled to Syria. Soon after, IS published what it said was an interview with her in French and English, in which she called on women to be patient and make life easier for their husbands.

Maquere said Boumeddiene had “started a new life” and remarried. She said she didn’t have any children. The French-Moroccan evacuee said Boumeddiene had told her she had no idea about plans for the 2015 attack in Paris or her husband’s plans.

Charlie Hebdo terror mentor's wife on benefits in Leicester

The wife of an al-Qaeda lynchpin who mentored the Charlie Hebdo murderers is living on benefits in Britain after deciding France was too strict against Muslims.

Sylvie Beghal, a French citizen, lives rent free in a four bedroomed house in Leicester after she came to the UK with her children in search of a more "Islamic environment".

She is married to Djamel Beghal, a former London-based lieutenant of Abu Hamza whose teachings are thought to have inspired the Paris attacks. At least two of the suspected gunmen responsible for the killings were Beghal's disciples, it has emerged.

On Friday Beghal's wife revealed that prison guards had thrown him into solitary confinement in retaliation for his links to the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

The Telegraph has previously disclosed that one of the Kouachi brothers, 32-year-old Cherid, was recruited by Beghal in prison ten years ago while both were serving sentences for terror offences.


(...)

Even among the extremists who congregated at Finsbury Park Mosque, he was regarded as one of the most dangerous.

In a court case in the UK Beghal was once described as being so extreme that Osama Bin Laden considered him "beyond the pale".

Yet speaking to the advocacy organisation CAGE in 2011, Mrs Beghal claimed her husband was innocent of all the charges levelled against him, and said he had been kept in solitary confinement for years to prevent him from preaching to prisoners.

If Mrs Beghal is claiming full housing benefit, she would be entitled to more than £10,000 a year. She has two children under 18 years old, entitling her to around £1,500 a year in child benefit. With jobseekers allowance added, Mrs Beghal may have cost taxpayers more than £150,000 since she moved back to the UK.

France grimly marks 5 years since Charlie Hebdo attack
charliehebdo-jan7.jpg


"Charlie Hebdo’s editor hasn’t gone out by himself since Jan. 7, 2015. The widow of one of the satirical newspaper’s cartoonists can’t bear to pull down a note her husband stuck to the door that morning: “Have a good day, darling. See you in a bit.”

France on Tuesday commemorated the fifth anniversary of the extremist attack on Charlie Hebdo that killed nine of its editorial staff, a guard, a visitor to the building and a patrol officer in the street outside. The killers were a pair of French brothers, supporters of al-Qaeda who claimed the attack was revenge for caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

Two days later, an accomplice who pledged allegiance to ISIS seized hostages inside a kosher supermarket. In all, 17 people died before near-simultaneous police raids killed the three gunmen. The trial of a network of people accused in the plot begins this May.

Riss, the editor, who goes by his pen name, was wounded in the attack and lives to this day under constant police protection."

“I’m here. We’re here. Charlie Hebdo is still here. Still standing and just as determined,” he told France Info radio on Tuesday ahead of a sombre memorial service at the site of the first attack. “We never stopped laughing because that’s part of life.”

Kind of surreal, since the actual perpetrators are all dead - and / or in paradise as they planned it.



IMHO Hayat Boumedienne could well be alive and I hope they catch her one day.

ENQUETE LIGNE ROUGE - Charlie Hebdo et Hyper Cacher, la vie d'après

LIGNE ROUGE SURVEY - Life after Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Cacher

This Wednesday, September 2, begins the historic trial of the January 2015 attacks in Paris and Montrouge, during which 17 people were killed. Five years after the events, victims and witnesses recount their experiences and explain their reconstruction in this long and unprecedented format produced by the team of Ligne Rouge.

On the day of the January 7, 2015 attack, Anne was in Charlie Hebdo's building when terrorists entered and shot 10 people, including several prominent cartoonists from the satirical newspaper that had published cartoons of Mohammed.

On that day, Anne, then a senior executive, was about to sign an important contract in the building, one floor below Charlie Hebdo's editorial office. As she starts her meeting, terrorists enter the building.

"The person with whom we had an appointment arrived and had just settled in when we heard noise downstairs, gunshots, then a strong smell of gunpowder. (...) Suddenly I turned around towards the door of the meeting room, and saw a masked individual in all black pointing a Kalashnikov at my head and saying to me. Who are you, Charlie Hebdo?'', says Anne. The young woman didn't know, but it was actually Sheriff Kouachi.

"I had no understanding at all of what was going on, I didn't answer. But he had such determination in his eyes that I was sure he was going to shoot," she recalls on BFMTV. "Then, with all the people who were there, we all took refuge under desks. (...) We hid there and then we heard screams over our heads and endless gun shots".

On the floor above, the terrorists are killing Charlie Hebdo's team. Eleven people die under the bullets of Chérif and Saïd Kouachi. "We were all huddled together, convinced that they were going to come back. We said to ourselves, 'Well, after the killing they've just done, they're going to come back and finish us off."

Anne finally remained cloistered for an hour and a half under this desk, before being able to escape. Although she thinks she can overcome this ordeal, the shock is deeper than she imagines. Her life has since frozen, she has not gone back to work, and has never been able to take the train or even the plane.

"I haven't been able to go back to work for 5 years, I haven't been able to go back to the plane, the train. Before, this was common occurrence, not a week went by without me taking a plane. The train is the same thing. To find myself locked up with no possible way out, especially with the attacks that have been foiled in the TGV, I say to myself: taking the TGV to see a terrorist appear at any time, it's not possible."

That day, Laurent Léger was sitting next to Charb at the editorial conference table when the terrorists started shooting. The reporter has the reflex to hide under the table.

"I have never relived the moment I managed to slip under the table, behind it, to hide," he confides to BFMTV. "A few seconds that seem like hours when you think of your loved ones, you see everything go by like that in a flash, while you see the legs of an assassin walking in front of you, that's something I don't want anyone to experience."

Since that day in January 2015, Laurent Léger has returned to work in the capital. A choice that not all victims have been able to make. After the attack, Zarie Sibony, one of the hostages of the Hyper Cacher on January 9, 2015, chose to leave the Paris region, and even France.

For her, the idea of leaving France and settling in Israel quickly became obvious after the attack. "It was out of the question for me to stay in Paris itself," she says. "My parents still live there and I have to come back from time to time to see them. But they know that when I'm there, I'm not well, I stay as little time as possible, I don't feel safe at all, it always reminds me of the attack, it always reminds me of what happened, I have an anxiety that I can explain, but I prefer to be here."

On January 9, Zarie Sibony lived through an ordeal of over 4 hours. While the whole of France watched the hostage-taking live on television in terror, the 23-year-old student was at her checkout inside the supermarket. The young woman did not immediately understand what was happening.

At that point time, "I face (Amedy Coulibaly), but I still haven't understood that he came to kill," the victim says. "I could see that he had two Kalashnikovs in his hands, that he had a lot of ammunition on his bullet-proof vest."
"He told me: 'Oh, you're not dead yet, you don't want to die,' and he fired," Zarie recalls. "But again, I don't know how he missed me because I was really in front of him. And even then, I didn't realize that I had almost died, the bullet went 5 cm past me, because I saw the impact on my cash register."


In the supermarket, the student is then forced to obey the orders of the jihadist, who asks her to close the doors of the store. In front of her, a customer tries to enter the store, unaware of the scene taking place there.

"The man can't know what's going on, a hostage situation in the middle of Paris," Zarie recalls. "He's on the phone, and there I see that he doesn't really understand what's going on because he sees a body on the ground, then in the distance the terrorist with his vest, then he sees me with my terrorized look on my face. There he understands, turns around to get out and the terrorist shoots him twice in the back. After that, I couldn't move, because I saw that it was clear: he was killing people like that, for no reason, in 5 seconds."

At the moment when she was forced to close the gates of the establishment, the girl remembers thinking "that's it, I'm burying us alive." When the gates finally reopen to allow law enforcement to storm the place, Zarie says she feels "this went on for years." "It lasted maybe three minutes, but three minutes when you have your hands on your head, you don't know what's going on and you hear the shooting, you don't know who's shooting at whom, it's horrible."
