The Islamic State released a video on Sunday in which one of the assailants in the Paris terror attacks posthumously claims that he carried out the attack in the name of the group.

The video shows Amedy Coulibaly, the man who killed four hostages at a Paris supermarket on Friday before he was fatally shot by police, pledging allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Speaking in French and occasionally lapsing into broken Arabic, he is shown wearing a flak vest, then a leather jacket and later a traditional African robe while he explains his motives for carrying out the attack and urges other Muslims also to take up arms.

I’m guessing he’s pointing East - towards Mecca.

Impossible!

This is not about Islam!

It’s clearly about Star Wars or something.

He was overheard saying via an open telephone at the kosher market that all those people there were guilty of killing Muslim women and children overseas because they supported the French military by paying taxes. A customer said he pays taxes for schools and roads. The terrorist says he does not pay taxes and does not support the French government in their actions.
