Under threat: Bataclan theater terrorized for years

  • 9 years ago
The massacre on Friday that killed at least 80 at the Bataclan theater was not the first time that the veteran concert hall in Paris's 11th district, was put in danger by Islamic terrorists.
In 2011, Farouk Bin Abbas, an French Muslim extremist , told French intelligence during an interrogation that he and his fellow members of the Jaysh al-Islam organization planned on attacking the Bataclan because "its owners are Jewish."
The hall was also threatened in 2007-2008 because of the fact that it routinely hosted conferences of Jewish organizations, as well as a fundraiser for the IDF and Israeli Border Police.
