Kosher supermarket attacker claimed IS bonds; wanted to target Jews and defend Palestine.

Amedy Coulibaly, the hostage taker who killed four people and wounded four others in a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris on Friday, called BFM-TV before he died to claim allegiance to Islamic State, saying he wanted to defend Palestinians and target Jews.

Coulibaly said he had jointly planned the attacks with the Kouachi brothers, who were responsible for the bloody attack on the offices of French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday. Police confirmed they were all members of the same Islamist cell in northern Paris.

Police had already been hunting 32-year-old Coulibaly along with a 26 year-old woman after the killing on Thursday of a policewoman. The woman, Hayat Boumeddiene, remains on the run.



An audio recording posted on YouTube attributed to a leader of the Yemeni branch of al Qaida (AQAP) said the attack in France was prompted by insults to prophets but stopped short of claiming responsibility for the assault on the offices of Charlie Hebdo.

Sheikh Hareth al-Nadhari said in the recording, "Some in France have misbehaved with the prophets of God and a group of God's faithful soldiers taught them how to behave and the limits of freedom of speech."

Just because YOU consider yourself captain palestine for some odd reason doesn't make it so.

Think it was an accident he chose this supermarket?

Think it's just fluke all 4 people killed were Jews and will all be buried in Israel ?

(He )called BFM-TV before he died to claim allegiance to Islamic State, saying he wanted to defend Palestinians and target Jews.


The whitewashing attempts here are truly amazing !!!

He called BFMTV of his own initative and told them that four people were already dead. He said Jews were a legitimate target in revenge for the deaths of Muslims in Palestine.


That's not Israeli media but the pathetic whitewash continues .

There is no whitewashing what this man did , he murdered 4 people in cold blood, in a kosher market, what there does seems to be is a need by some to use this horrible tragedy to further what are actually unrelated political ends. Palestinians did not perpetrate this act. Palestinians are not responsible

The gunman in the Paris kosher supermarket siege appeared Sunday in a posthumous video, pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group and explaining the planning and the reasoning behind the attacks that sowed terror across France.

Apparently filmed over several days and edited after the attacks, the video shows Amedy Coulibaly displaying a small arsenal of weapons, doing pushups and pullups in a drab courtyard and, in broken Arabic, giving fealty to IS militants. The video appeared Sunday on militant websites, and two men who dealt drugs with Coulibaly confirmed his identify to The Associated Press.

"My brothers, our team, divided things in two," he tells the camera in a close-up.

"We did things a bit together and a bit apart, so that it'd have more impact," he said in fluent French, adding that he had helped the brothers financially with "a few thousand euros" so they could finish with purchases for the operation.

and pointing out fallacy is not the same as defending at least to most reasoning people, but attempting to keep an opponent on the defensive by any means necessary, such as goal post changes, and accusations is a tactic we've seen before many times
