Amedy Coulibaly

Six people who hid in a supermarket refrigerator during January's Islamist attacks in Paris have sued French media for broadcasting their location live during the siege.
      

In an article published on Sunday, The Wall Street Journal pointed to Bulgaria as being one of the weak spots through which Jihadists from Europe pass on their way to join IS in Syria and Iraq.

Apart from the more loosely guarded border between Bulgaria and Turkey, Jihadists also often choose the daily ferries between Turkey and Northern Cyprus.

French investigators believe they have established that the jihadists who struck Paris last month were in direct contact before the attacks, a security source said on Feb. 18.        

Phone records appear to show that Cherif Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly met the night before they started three days of violence in and around Paris on January 7.        

?We have been following with great concern what is happening at the Fatih Mosque in Istanbul,? a Western diplomat told me, in reference to demonstrations of support of the Kouachi brothers who attacked the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo last month.

France unveiled a raft of measures Jan. 21 to curb radicalisation and better monitor jihadists two weeks after an Islamist killing spree in Paris that sent shockwaves across Europe.
      
Jitters from the worst attack on French soil in decades have spread to the country's neighbours and the European Union is also expected to reveal new counterterrorism measures on Wednesday.

Four men will appear before a judge in France on Jan. 20 to face possible charges of providing support to one of the Paris Islamist attackers, the prosecutors' office said.
      

Cherif Kouachi, one of the two brothers who killed 12 people in an attack on France's Charlie Hebdo magazine, has been buried in an unmarked grave near Paris under tight security, the local mayor's office told AFP.
      
Kouachi was buried late on Saturday at a cemetery in Gennevilliers, where he used to live, officials said.        

Cherif Kouachi, one of the two brothers who killed 12 people in an attack on France's Charlie Hebdo magazine, has been buried amid tight security outside of Paris, the local mayor's office told AFP.
     

After Ahmed Merabet, a French policeman, was killed outside the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris last week, his brother Malek said: "My brother was Muslim and he was killed by two terrorists, by two false Muslims. Islam is a religion of peace and love."

Belgian police announced they had thwarted a major terror attack on Thursday.

Counterterrorism police raided a town east of Brussels on Thursday, killing two terror suspects and arresting a third one in a shootout.

The operation in the eastern town of Verviers was part of a crackdown on Islamic extremists returning from Syria, according to reports of CNN.
