Paris kosher supermarket that was scene of deadly 2015 terror attack damaged by arson

A kosher supermarket in Paris that was the scene of a deadly terror attack in 2015 was targeted in an overnight arson attack, reports say.

The front of the Hyper Cacher supermarket was damaged and there was some damage to the interior of the store.

A man was seen on CCTV setting fire to four containers placed in front of the entrance to the supermarket, before setting fire to a nearby dumpster, reports say.

Twelve people were massacred at Charlie Hebdo’s Paris offices on January 7, 2015, by the brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, who said they were acting on behalf of Al-Qaeda to avenge the paper’s decision to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

A day later, Amedy Coulibaly killed a 27-year-old police officer during a traffic check outside Paris, before killing four Jewish men during a hostage-taking at the Hyper Cacher supermarket on January 9, claiming to act in the name of the Islamic State terror group.
