Police believe that six more terror suspects are still lurking in Paris

#CharlieHebdo #ManuelValls #BenjaminNetanyahu In the opinion of the police, as many as six members of a terrorist cell that was involved in the Paris attacks on Charlie Hebdo could still be at large – one of these was a man who was seen driving a car that is registered to the widow of one of the gunmen.
The authorities were searching the Paris area for the Mini Cooper that is registered in the name of Hayat Boumeddiene, the widow of Amedy Coulibaly – the woman, as per Turkish officials, is presently in Syria.
These disclosures have been made even as France has deployed 10,000 troops to protect sensitive sites that take into account Jewish schools and neighborhoods. This has been done following the attacks that killed 17 people last week. Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, apart from Coulibaly, their friend who claimed ties to Islamic extremists in the Middle East, have been killed in clashes with police.
It is not clear on how many members there were in the terror cell. While one of the police officials indicated that the cell consisted of about 10 members, and that "five or six could still be at large" another official believes that the network consisted of about eight people, including Hayat Boumeddiene.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls has remarked that the manhunt is urgent because "the threat is still present." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gone to the Paris kosher grocery where four of the hostages were killed by the terrorists.

Al-Qaeda in Yemen kills two hostages who were to be released

The two hostages American photojournalist Luke Somers and South African teacher Pierre Korkie were supposed to be released by the al-Qaeda in Yemen but, they have been killed during a rescue attempt by US and Yemeni forces.
It is understood that a total of 40 US special operations forces were involved in the rescue attempt and they were backed by Yemeni forces. They got to within 100 metres of the compound when they were spotted leading to a firefight ensued. During this encounter the pair was shot.
Reports indicate that the duo had been murdered by their al Qaeda captors - 10 of whom were also killed.
The raid was carried out in the Shabwah region of Yemen. It seems the release of 56-year-old Mr Korkie had been scheduled for Sunday but President Barack Obama authorized the raid because there was information to the effect that the life of American photojournalist Luke Somers was in imminent danger.
The national security chief of Yemen, Ali al Ahmadi, had revealed that the militants had planned to "execute" Mr Somers - who was born in Britain - on Saturday. Hence the raid.
It may be recalled that Mr and Mrs Korkie had been taken hostage by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in May 2013 - Mrs Korkie was released earlier this year. On the other hand, Mr Somers, who was born in Britain, was captured in September 2013 in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a.
