Seems more like attention whoring, but of course we'll have to wait for further investigation to make a judgement.
At least 13 mosques have been attacked since wednesday, one burnt, several tagged and defaced.
Lots of mosques all around France displayed support to Charlie Hebdo and condemmend the attack, saying that it was also an attack on Islam.
People on twitter have been using the #JeVoyageAvecToi hashtag to protect arabs & muslims from racist/islamophobic attack during their commuting as sadly a lot of those attacks already happend.

Oh for fucks sake.
If they died, they believed that they were going to heaven and meet 72 virgins (per Islamic Hadith) as martyrs. If they survived, they would carry another attack at some point in the future.
It is a win-win situation for them.
I can't believe I've done this.
That is most certainly one of their aims. They want to divide and segregate french society so that people start becoming suspicious of muslims. That could make muslims feel isolated and push them towards these sickening groups. I know most french citizens will stand in solidarity with their Muslim neighbours but the rise of FN is worrying and and I can't help but feel this will galvanise the FN. I hope I'm wrong.
Sad stuff all around!

So what happened? The op said hostages were rescued, but 4 hostages still died?
Only if the pen is very sharp and the sword very short ^_^
Totally unrelated failed jewelry robbery. One man taking two people hostage, police on site.

Holy shit, BFM TV journalist was in contact with one of the terrorists.
He literally chose the worst possible day ever to do this. Well done.

Hopefully they can talk some sense into him, since he's probably there for the money. "Hey we already had to handle two hostage situations today, and the criminals got killed each time. Won't you surrender ?"

And Coulibaly too, he wanted to talk with the police, but he was way ISIS.
He said that they synchronized with the brothers to act at the same time.

Wut?
Oh, the unrelated jewelry thing
I really want to know what he was thinking. "Soooo, everybody is busy with the Charlie Hebdo thing, I might as well attack a jewelry"?
Nothing islamistic this time. A burglar thought it would be the perfect day to rob a jewelier store and has now taken hostages after GIGN arrived from the kosher market. Apparently.

That's the plot to Die Hard 3 more or less.
Not the same guys from the kosher market. Montpellier is far, they can't teleport.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Charlie Hebdo print run going from ~60.000 to one million.

What a day for the GIGN!
They finish their job in Vincennes and they have to handle a situation in Montpellier!
waht?
Well (don't know if it was already reported in the thread), that helped the RAID in Vincenne a lot, as he forgot to put the phone of...
Really, they did do a number of very dumb things, even aside the pointless killings.
Edit: and aparently, not a single hostage died (...yet, some are severly injuried) during the raids.
Respect.
Apparently she wasn't in Vincennes today.
No it's not. She was never there.
Holy shit at BFM being in contact with the terrorists.
can't find it, source?
She didn't escape, she wasn't even there today (at the kosher shop).
Amedy Coulibaly was from ISIS, he just wanted to kill cops & jews at the same time as the Kouachi Brothers (he knew the brothers).
The 2 Kouachi brothers were from Al'Qaeda Yemen and were financed by some American arab (don't have the name).
Those are infos given by them at phone with journalists (they wanted to talk to Journalists to give a message to France).

Is anyone gonna give coverage to what's going at this jewelry store?
There was never a 3rd guy.
For the next issue only... I guess many people will buy it just to show support (I'll probably do this, and I'm not fond of Charlie Hebdo).
The most ironic thing is that they were on the verge of bankrupt, so the terrorists may have help them to stay afloat (if they can find cartoonists and journalists). They gather something like five time more subscriptions in the last two days (alledgely from Arnold Schwarzeneger, too) than the whole last year. And even the french government is thinking about a offering them one million euros to reestablish themselves.
I've been on BFM TV all day, but I think by now every news outlet agrees on it, except maybe trash like Sky news. French media in general has never said anything about her being there, so I don't know why others did.
If you're talking about being in contact with them, they just aired the discussion.
