Islamic State Threatens To Kill Two Japanese Hostages

In Cairo, The Islamic State group threatened to kill two Japanese hostages unless they receive $200 million in 72 hours. The Japanese prime Minister Shinzo Abe vowed to save the men, saying "Their lives are our top priority. Japanese officials declined to discuss whether they'd pay the ransom for the hostages Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa. Abe also states that this event is "unforgivable." The Islamic Militant accused Japan for funding the deaths of Muslims throughout the Middle East. The militant is probably referring to money Abe pledged while in Egypt to help Iraq's government and aid Syrian refugees. Details await to see if the Prime Minister holds true to his word.

I believe the Japanese government is going to save the hostages by paying the $200 million fee. Japan is an extremely wealthy country that takes care of its citizens. However, if the Japanese tries to use a different approach, e.g. military intervention, I believe they will try to bring other countries to help, which will fail, which will then result in the death of the two hostages. The Japanese will do what they think is the best option and I fully back it.

Charlie Hebdo Suspects Killed In Siege

Three terrorists have been shot dead and another is being pursued by French Police, following hostage stand-offs near Paris.  The two brothers, Cherif and Said Kouachi that are behind the Charlie Hebdo massacre, was killed by the police at a grocery store in Paris. A massive manhunt has been initiated to find the accomplice from the grocery store. Hostages at both locations have been freed, but there were others that perished in the violent act. Updates are to come.

The death of the two brothers that attacked the Charlie Hebdo newspaper firm, comes with great news to the French people. It is a good thing that they are gone, but I believe that they should have been apprehended by the police to be sent to jail, or to stand trial for execution. The Islamic terror gunnings have grown over the years and I believe to fight religious terrorism, you have to break down there religious ideology so that they understand what is wrong.

Mass Shooting In Paris

Several masked gunman stormed into the Paris offices of a newspaper company, Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people before fleeing. The gunman entered the newspaper shouting "Allahu akbar" brandishing automatic assault rifles. The gunman immediately went to the second floor where they started to open fire into the newsroom. People believe this to be the work of Islamic terrorists fighting for the groups of either ISIS or al-Qaida. On social media the supports of the radical groups praised the move. One twitter user described the act as well deserved revenge against France.

I do believe this is the work of the Islamic radical terrorist groups given knowledge of the phrase "Allahu akbar" being used during the attack. The people of the newspaper did not deserve this fate and deserved better. This might be the act where France takes a bigger stand against ISIS and sends more military personal/ equipment.
