BREAKING NEWS – Gunman Holds People Captive In New Paris Hostage Terror

Just when the world is beginning to assimilate and show utmost disapproval to the recent attacks in Paris, there seem to be new hostage terror, according to DailyMail. Gunman claiming to be armed with grenades and Kalashnikov takes three people captive in post office at a Paris suburb.

Pictures posted online show police vehicles surrounding the building in Colombes, around seven miles from the centre of the French capital. It is not known if the siege is linked to last week’s terror attacks.

Police surround post office in the Parisien suburb of Colombes, where a gunman claiming to be armed with a Kalashnikov and grenades has taken three people hostage.

It comes as Belgian authorities raided an Islamist cell planning attacks against police as dozens of people were arrested in sweeps across Europe, keeping the continent on alert one week after the Paris massacres.

Two suspected jihadists were shot dead in a police raid in the eastern Belgian town of Verviers last night.

Prosecutors said 13 suspects had been detained across Belgium, with two more held in France.

French police separately detained 12 people in the suburbs of Paris in connection with last week’s attacks on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine, a Jewish supermarket and a policewoman, in which 17 people were killed.

Hundreds of German police meanwhile raided alleged Islamist sites in Berlin, arresting two men suspected of being part of a group planning to carry out an attack in Syria.

The raids highlighted fears about young Europeans travelling to fight with the Islamic State and Al Qaeda-linked groups in the Middle East before returning to carry out attacks on Western targets.
