A Islamic militant holding six people hostage is threatening to kill his captives if police attempt to storm the Charlie Hebdo terrorists currently engaged in a standoff with police on the outskirts of Paris.
Today’s second hostage crisis emerged hours after the Charlie Hebdo killers Cherif and Said Kouachi took one person captive at a business premises near a Paris airport.
Police say suspected hostage taker Amedy Coulibaly, 32, is using the hostages as a bargaining chip to try and scupper the police response further north.
He is working with a woman called Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, considered ‘armed and dangerous’, and is said to have yelled at police: ‘You know who I am’ when they responded to the shooting.
Police have now ordered all shops in Paris’ famed Jewish district to be immediately closed.
The mayor’s office in Paris announced the closures of shops along the Rosiers street in Paris’ Marais neighbourhood, in the heart of the tourist district and about a kilometre away from the offices of newspaper Charlie Hebdo where 12 people were killed on Wednesday.
