this isn't the supermarket hostage where 4 people were killed, it's seperate

and so far haven't read anything about it being linked to terrorism

PARIS (AP) — A police officer says two hostages are being held by a gunman in a jewelry store in the southern French city of Montpellier.
The officer, who could not be named speaking about an ongoing situation, said the attacker has locked himself inside the downtown shop, with police ready to intervene outside.
He said it is unclear whether the hostage-taking is related to the massacre Wednesday in Paris at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead.

Oh right, nothing was mentioned about that

RIP to those who died again, although why were they working in an area near the suspects(?) I thought it was on lock down.

The political side of this is looking promising, the tragic event aside. The fact she's been invited to the Elysee Palace is surprising in itself.

Marine Le Pen to President Hollande: Suspend visa-free zone, strip terror suspects of French citizenship

The leader of France’s rightwing Front National (FN), Marine Le Pen, has asked French President Francois Hollande to suspend the visa-free Schengen Area in Europe and strip dual nationals of their French citizenship if they carry out “barbaric crimes.”

“I expressed to the president the absolute necessity…to immediately suspend Schengen to be able to control our borders as an essential element in the fight against terrorism, and also the fight against arms trafficking,” Le Pen told reporters following a meeting with Hollande on Friday.

The Schengen Area consists of 26 European countries that have abolished passport and any other type of border controls. The agreement allows for both freedom of movement for both European citizens, Schengen visa holders and those who can travel in the area visa-free. Freedom of movement is considered “a fundamental right” guaranteed by the EU to its citizens.

Le Pen also turned her eye to the issue of dual-nationals who have been suspected of engaging in terror-related activities at home or abroad, saying such individuals should be stripped of their French citizenship.

“I also expressed the necessity – in another inevitable way – of measures for the removal or the forfeiture of citizenship for all of those who have dual citizenship who have left to train or fight in a foreign country, and then come back to our territory, to commit barbaric crimes, which seems to be the case with these two murderers who are currently in the process of being chased,” she said.

The measure would put France in line with the United Kingdom, where Home Secretary Theresa May currently has the power to strip foreign born terror suspects of their British citizenship if they possess another citizenship.

Hollande has yet to react to Le Pen’s proposals.

Le Pen made waves on Thursday by expressing her support for the death penalty, saying she would organize a referendum to reintroduce it if elected president in 2017.

Following Wednesday's deadly attack on the office of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in Paris, Le Pen made a passionate speech against Islamic fundamentalism, which she called an "odious ideology."

While Hollande has called for national unity following the tragedy, Le Pen has openly pinned the attack on “radical Islam.”

“Time is up for denial and hypocrisy,” she said. “The absolute rejection of Islamic fundamentalism must be proclaimed loudly and clearly.”

Douglas Murray was amazing on Sky News too. For all talk of the press and western media standing up to Islamism, the BBC and other mainstream broadcasters STILL refuse to show pictures of the Prophet in order not to 'offend' radical muslims. Enough is enough.

i cast major doubt over the whole charlie hebdo incident due to the evidence shown in the above clip. the short but detailed analysis shows that the police officer who was apparently shot in the head actually wasn't and it also raises a few further questions. would the 'terrorists' really be so careless as to leave their id in the vehicle? give it a watch.

this makes no sense..... that officers face is all over the news and he's dead. if you said that to his family, what would they say?

He is clearly shot in the head? Just because his head doesn't explode doesn't mean he wasn't shot


Why did the terrorists leave their id in the vehicle? Human Error. It doesn't take great intelligence to shoot someone, not sure why you find a simple mistake so hard to believe.
