Why the Bataclan was a target
Translation of the original French:
"We had a plan to attack against the Bataclan because the owners are Jews. " This sentence, entombed in the light of the taking of hostages and the carnage that would have done this Friday" a hundred dead", according to police sources, has been pronounced in the offices of the DCRI, in February 2011. The French services interrogators then members of "Jaish al-Islam", the Army of Islam, suspected of the attack that cost the life of a French student in Cairo in February 2009. They were planning an attack in France and had therefore taken to target the famous Hall of parisian spectacle.

Repeated Threats

In 2007 and in 2008, the Bataclan had already been under the threat of groups more or less radical. The cause: the regular holding of conferences or galas of Jewish organizations, including the "Magav ", a guard unit-borders depending on the police of Israel. In December 2008, while an operation of the Israeli army has place in the Gaza Strip, the threats around the Bataclan are more precise. On the Web, a video showing a group of a dozen or so young, the face mask by keffiehs, which threaten the officials of the Bataclan in connection with the organization of the annual gala of the Magav. At the time, the Parisian y devoted an article without that this handful of militants is truly identified. In the aftermath, this annual meeting will be postponed.

Since, each time that a Jewish organization meets at the Bataclan, many hostile comments blossom on the Web. Yet, in recent years, they seemed to have waned. Nevertheless, the Israeli press reminded us that the group of rock Eagles of Death which occurred this Friday 13 to evening had carried out a tour in Israel. The group had then had to face several calls to boycott, which had they not been prevented to occur there.

Bill Jacobson at Legal Insurrection discusses this further, and a hat tip to him for finding this article.

#1 Eagles of Death is also a damn fine name for a continual incendiary attack.
