France – An Al-Qaida linked website has called for the assassination of President François Hollande and French soldiers because of France's military interventions in Mali and the Central African Republic. Sources close to the president promised "extreme vigilance", while declaring that such threats were nothing new. "It's not the first time there have been threats," a source close to the French presidency said on the 11 Mar 14 after the Islamist website The Media Platform of the Mujahedeen swore that "neither Hollande, nor his soldiers will know peace in France until the Muslims of Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR) have it". "To our lone wolves in France, execute the head of atheism and criminality," it declared. "Terrorise his cursed government, blow them up and make them experience horror." Similar threats were made when the Mali intervention began, adding that sometimes dangers that are not announced in public are more serious. The site called on sympathisers to emulate Mohammed Merah, the Algerian-origin man who murdered three soldiers, three Jewish children and their teacher in 2012.
