The biggest trial in France's modern history opened on Wednesday of 20 suspects charged over the November 2015 Paris attacks that saw 130 people killed, with the expected nine months of hearings set to reopen still raw wounds. FRANCE 24's Terrorism Expert Wassim Nasr has the details.
IN THE PRESS – Friday, November 13, 2020: We take a look at how the press is covering the fifth anniversary of the November 13 Paris terror attacks. From Emmanuel Macron being seen as the sole EU defender against radical Islam to the view that his policies are scandalous and perverse, the press is divided on the issue of how to tackle Islamism. We also discuss the hopes and challenges facing a coronavirus vaccine. Finally, we find out about some very special canines.
Paris (France), 12 Nov (EFE/EPA), (Camera: Josep Puig).- November 13, 2015 was marked as the day 130 people died in several terrorist attacks in Paris. For those who lived through them or lost someone, however, it was a turning point in their lives, whose pain persists five years later.FOOTAGE OF THE PLACES WHERE THE PARIS ATTACKS OF NOVEMBER 13, 2015 TOOK PLACE
Asif Arif is the co-author of a book about terrorist links between France and Belgium. On the third anniversary of the Paris attacks across the city which killed 130 people, including at the Bataclan concert hall, he told us that Islam is now part of the solution to much jihadist activity. He believes the religion is needed to help authority figures understand where the wrong concept of jihad comes from, and to help those who may have been radicalised get back on the right track.
Two years on, commemorations to remember the 130 killed, along with the survivors of the shootings at the Bataclan concert hall, the national stadium and at the terraces of Right Bank cafés. The new normal includes beefed-up anti-terror laws and the rout of jihadists on the battlefield in Iraq and Syria. ISIS may be on the run but are we any better at counter-radicalization? In a year that's seen attacks most notably in Manchester, London and Barcelona, are we any the wiser as to what to do?
