BuzzFeed journalist attacked by far-right Jewish extremists in Paris

A leading French journalist working for BuzzFeed was attacked by far-right Jewish extremists as a mob tried to storm the offices of the country's national news agency on Thursday.
David Perrotin was protected by police after being surrounded by a dozen masked men brandishing batons.
The Ligue de Defense Juive was protesting against Agense France Presse's coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Trouble broke out soon after 8 P.M. when about 100 people brandishing flags and letting off flares tried to storm AFP's offices.
As the crowd approached the entrance to the building, opposite the Paris stock exchange, tear gas was sprayed in their faces, and skirmishes with CRS riot police broke out.
Some of the demonstrators were shouting "We're coming to get you," at journalists, while others screamed "Islamic terrorists."
