That is very threatening in my opinion and should be taken just as serious as #IAmTerrorist

Right? Like it was the weather or something.
It was so disturbing because they talk like regular people over here.

He basically says he was financed send by Alqaeda in Yemen and financed by them.

At 1:19... I'm beyond words right now. I don't understand French but he sounds so calm under the circumstances.
EDIT - 4:06... the gunman at the Kosher store. Calm there too. My stomach is turnng.

Since they where trained in Yemen , I think the world including moderate Muslim countries should cooperate against extreme Islamic ideologies from Religious political group up to Al Qaida and ISIS.
Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Libya all are torn between various religious groups and political parties that are armed to the teeth. The more this issues prevails the more the world will face attack as what happened in Paris.

These have been three nerve wracking days and honestly, GAF helped me stay sane, even when some stuff irritated me. Overall, you've been awesome, thanks guys.
Stay strong and safe, FranceGAF.

Speaking of Sephardim (he jokes about that), Timsit was on Patrick Cohen's radio show this morning and he was great, discussing his jokes, where he puts his own limits, how he manages an audience's expectations, these kinds of things. That was a much needed and apropos comic relief.

He refutes the fact that they killed civilians. the staff of CH was not civilians, they were targets. they did not come to kill women and children, but that is what westerners have been doing in afghanistan, iraq, and syria. prob has a point tbh...
amedy says they prepared the attacks together (with the brothers) but they are currently not in contact

You see them drag a specialist out
Such an awful situation. My heart goes out to all of France.
Thanks for the link. Anyone with an understanding of how such police raids are organised can chime in? I see that in the beginning of the vid most of the SWAT team hides behind an armored truck which rides very slowly to the front of the shop and then all hell breaks loose. I'm just hoping that when Coulibali saw the first signs of the armored truck closing in that he didn't kill any hostages because he knew the attack was coming very soon.
There are 4 dead hostages, but it seem none of them died during the assault itself, they were killed earlier by the terrorist. That may be the confusion.
François Hollande confirmed it during his speech.
No offense, but playing Devils advocate here isn't the same. Naturally, as a terrorist attack unfolded you had anger and outrage and the hashtag was created out of it. But as it picked up steam, people found that more of the hashtag use was to speak out against the tag itself.
This hashtag is brought up solely as a troll/sympathy with terrorists, though I'm sure is also being used by people speaking out against it. While both are incendiary and inflammatory, surely you can see the difference behind them? Not saying either are right mind you, and both should be rightfully condemned.

"I was financed by Sheikh X"
"How long ago?"
"Uh... it's been a while. Before he was killed"
Idiot
Moderate Muslim countries being who? The World has tries to stop AQ for more than a decade. You have a coalition of 60 countries including Arabs signed up to help in the war against IS.
Dropping bombs, sending drones to kill people and propping up tyrants does not work.

At 1:23, there is a woman that is running off to the top right of the screen and falls down. It looks like someone goes to her and helps her run off. I wonder why she was seperated from the others?http://www.francetvinfo.fr/faits-di...-d-otages-a-la-porte-de-vincennes_792947.html

There are countries that started a counter theoretical and physical prosecution of extremist mentalities, you might not agree with these countries in their laws or freedom but for sure they won't be plotting attacks and training militias to send around the world.
What would that achieve? The largest state sponsor and funder of terrorism is Saudi Arabia. The US conveniently overlooks this fact. It's also the most repressive of the Muslim majority nations. Also, moderate Muslim countries are Turkey, Indonesia etc. What would they achieve being mired in this stuff when they probably have enough trouble keeping the hardliners and fundamentalists in their own countries down. This is something that will not go away. People like to say it's because of the West etc. Places like India, China, Russia, and a ton of non-middle eastern countries all deal with their own Islamic extremism as well.

Here's the video from the front Warning: one body laying on the ground but nothing graphic
The guy running towards them when they freeze frame is the terrorist, they cut before he is shot down

Not sure how Frances does its health care, but I hope they get good care. Being in that situation can't be good for one's mental health, to say the least.

Thanks, adding it to the OP.
I'm not sure if you're serious and how off-topic you are. France is famous for its health care.

That first policeman that went in alone... wow. The hostages are so fortunate that they were safely off to the side of the store. I'm surprised the gunman didn't use them as a shield or something...
Wow it's so eerie seeing the door slowly slide up and to see that body laying there.

Was it confirmed that Amedy killed those 4 hostages?
That's because as much even though the media portray all terrorists as some kind of animal by trying to dehumanize them, at the end of the day these guys were just ordinary people who either had nothing, had everything taken away from them and used that as a basis for hate or became radiicalised.
It's a harsh reality, but dehumanising them just removes the need to ask why they did this in the first place. Yes they were following an extremist version of Islam, but something drove them in the first place to do this. Humanity has done some terrible, awful things to people and we seem happy a lot of the time to remember what happened, but ignore the root cause of the problem in the first place.
Rather than spending years attacking terrorist organisations, which does nothing but strengthen their causse we should take a closer look at improving peoples lives worldwide to weaken their ability to recruit people.

The investigation has barely started, I don't think it's been confirmed yet.
