EXCLUSIVE – Africa Al-Qaida Link to Paris Massacre? Group Vowed to Kill French President
TEL AVIV, Israel — Missing from the media coverage surrounding the Paris terror attacks is that last year a well-known jihadi website with ties to al-Qaida called on supporters to carry out lone wolf attacks inside France. Significantly, the al Minbar Jihadi Media Network also called for the assassination of President Francois Hollande, who was inside the soccer stadium hit by two suicide bombers during the Paris attacks. In March 2014, the SITE monitoring service documented al Minbar’s call-to-arms, which came in the form of six posters that were published as part of the website’s “We will not be silent, O France” campaign. “To our lone-wolves in France, assassinate the president of disbelief and criminality, terrify his cursed government, and bomb them and scare them as a support to the vulnerable in the Central African Republic,” one of the posters advertised. The Al Minbar Jihadi Media Network publishes propaganda for al Qaeda affiliates, including al-Qaeda in the Maghreb. It is particularly active in Mali. The website said its anti-France posters came in response to French military campaigns in Mali and the Central African Republic, where France has maintained 2,000 soldiers as part of a 6,000-strong African Union peacekeeping mission.

U.S. Warned By Ex-Mossad Chief: Time For Armed Guards At Cafes, Malls and Clubs
TEL AVIV, Israel – The U.S. and European countries should seriously consider adapting the Israeli model of combatting terrorism in order to fight an increasingly aggressive Islamic State, former Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit told Breitbart Jerusalem. These measures include deploying armed guards to protect soft targets like restaurants, shopping centers, and movie theaters. “You have to strike the right balance between defense and offense,” posited Shavit, who led Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency from 1989 to 1996. “If you adopt only the defensive strategy, pretty soon you realize that your investments achieve a prohibitive level.” Shavit argued that the coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday need to be analyzed in the wider context of other purported ISIS assaults over the past week. These include the group’s claim that it downed a Russian airliner over Egypt, as well as a double suicide attack in Beirut on Thursday. These three events, said Shavit, indicate a change in ISIS strategy. “Until recently, ISIS was involved in killing other Arabs and Muslims, but now they have made a strategic change in their strategy. They have decided to go after what they call the infidels, and kill not only Arabs and Muslims but also Europeans and
