Washington DC: January 9, 2015. (By Jeffrey Imm, R.E.A.L) The past three days has seen a rapid and fluid campaign of terror against the people of Paris, which we have been reporting on Facebook due to the frequent changes. This began with the January 7 terrorist attack on the free press by terrorists Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi. On January 7, the terrorist brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi killed cartoonists, writers at the Paris-based Charlie Hebdo magazine, as well as killing a visitor, a caretaker, and police. They killed 12 individuals and wounding 11, including killing two police officers (including one police officer who was a Muslim). The 12 victims of this terrorist attack in Paris were: Stephane Charbonnier, editor of Charlie Hebdo; Jean Cabut, cartoonist; Georges Wolinski, cartoonist; Bernard Verlhac, cartoonist; Philippe Honore, cartoonist; Bernard Maris, economist; Elsa Cayat, psychoanalyst and columnist; Mustapha Ourrad, copy editor; Michel Renaud, visitor; Frederic Boisseau, caretaker; Ahmed Merabet, policeman; Brigadier Franck Brinsolaro, police bodyguard. On January 8, the terror campaign continued in Montrouge, with a terrorist murder of a black Paris policewoman Clarissa Jean-Philippe, who was dealing with a traffic accident. She was murdered by terrorist Amedy Coulibaly. The Daily Mail is reporting that “[i]t has now been suggested this attack may have been an aborted attempt to attack a Jewish school.” On January 9, it has come to its third day with dual hostage taking in Dammartin-en-Goële and Porte de Vincennes boulevard areas. In northern Paris, the terrorists Cherif and Said Kouachi brothers cornered by police and took at least one hostage at a printing shop in Dammartin-en-Goële, about 7.5 miles from Charles de Gaulle airport. French police launched an assault killing both of the terrorists, and releasing the hostage. In eastern Paris, terrorist Amedy Coulibaly went to a Jewish kosher supermarket to take hostages of women and children at the Hyper Cacher (“Super Kosher”) in Paris, near Porte de Vincennes boulevard. We have learned that the terrorist killed hostages, and police stormed the supermarket to free the remaining hostages. It has been reported that children and babies were among the hostages held by the terrorists. According to French President Francois Hollande, four hostages were killed at the siege of the kosher supermarket. An Israeli government official has stated that 15 hostages were rescued. A YouTube video of the police raid on the Hyper Cacher supermarket where the hostages were held, clearly shows the bodies of dead hostages laying on the ground before the Paris police raided the building. At this time, the names of the victims have not been released. In addition, there has been a report that police have police shut down central Paris’s historically Jewish Marais neighborhood, due to concern over other anti-Semitic terrorist threats. On January 9, terrorists Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi were killed in a shoot-out with police during a police raid to release hostages in Dammartin-en-Goële. The Daily Mail reports that during conversations with police, Cherif Kouach stated: “I am a defender of the prophet. I was sent by Al Qaeda of Yemen. I’m financed by Imam Anwar al Awlaqi. Anwar is a (preacher).” Also on January 9, terrorist Amedy Coulibaly was killed in a shoot-out with police during a police raid to release hostages at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in Parks. The Daily Mail reports that during separate conversations with police, Amedy Coulibaly “confirmed that he was in contact with the Kouachis and that the attacks had been ‘synchronized’. He said that he had swore allegiance to Islamic State in Iraq and had targeted the shop because ‘it was Jewish’.” The Independent reports that “It is believed that Ms. Boumedienne attended a suspected jihadist training camp in Cantal, a mountainous area of central France.” We know this terror campaign is not limited to France, but is a world war against all of humanity and all human freedoms and rights. Those who perform terrorist actions and those who support such terrorist activity attack our universal human rights. They represent a global threat to our shared universal human rights, which must be recognized and challenged by all human rights groups. Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) urges our fellow human beings responsible for our shared universal human rights to continue to aggressively challenge and condemn such extremist groups and individuals – anywhere in the world, and using any language. Our shared universal human rights, as described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), is essential for peace, harmony, respect, and security for all of our fellow human beings of every identity group, every nationality, and every religious view and conscience.
