Check out this news are Paris officials killed a man that was wearing fake explosive vest

PARIS — Officers shot and killed a

knife-wielding man wearing a fake
explosive vest at a police station in
northern Paris on today , French
officials said, a year to the day after
an attack on the French satirical
newspaper Charlie Hebdo launched a
bloody year in the French capital.
Luc Poignant, a police union official,
said the man cried out “Allahu
akbar,” Arabic for “God is great.”
The man was wearing what looked
like an explosive vest, but it was
fake, according to two French police
officials who spoke on condition of
anonymity to discuss the ongoing
investigation. They said the man has
not yet been identified.

Just a few minutes earlier, elsewhere

in the city, French President Francois

Hollande had finished paying homage

to police officers killed in the line of

duty, including three shot to death in

attacks last January.

A Paris police official said police

were investigating the incident at the

Paris police station today as

“more likely terrorism” than a

standard criminal act. The official

spoke on condition of anonymity

because he was not authorized to be

publicly named according to police

policy. The neighborhood in the

Goutte d’Or district of northern Paris

was locked down.

Hollande had said earlier that what

he called a “terrorist threat” would

continue to weigh on France.

France has been on high alert ever

since, and was struck again Nov. 13

by extremists in attacks claimed by

the Islamic State group that killed

130 people at a concert hall and in

bars and restaurants.

Survivors of the January attacks,

meanwhile, are continuing to speak

out.

Cartoonist Laurent Sourisseau, the

editor-in-chief of Charlie Hebdo, who

is known as Riss, told France Inter

radio “security is a new expense for

the newspaper budget.”

“This past year we’ve had to invest

nearly 2 million euros to secure our

office, which is an enormous sum,”

he said. “We have to spend hundreds

of thousands on surveillance of our

offices, which wasn’t previously in

Charlie’s budget, but we had an

obligation so that employees feel

safe and can work safely.”

After the attacks, people around the

world embraced the expression “Je

suis Charlie” to express solidarity

with the slain journalists, targeted for

the paper’s caricatures of the Prophet

Muhammad.
