France: A TV station will not broadcast its news programme and remains closed after a person claiming to want to act “for the honour of Allah” made violent threats against people and the channel

Access to the premises of the France 3 Champagne-Ardenne channel was not possible on Tuesday October 17 in Reims (Marne). The first staff, who arrived early in the morning, have been under police protection since 8.30am. The remaining workers were told to stay at home and telework based on an email they received on Tuesday morning, October 17, the wording of which was clear. The author of this email makes violent threats against people and the building and asserts that he wants to commit this act “for the glory of Allah”. The ICI 12/13 Champagne-Ardenne news programme was cancelled. The criminal investigation department has just been called in. France TV info
