France: Islamists had Jewish store 'hit list' and nuclear bomb manual

Fourteen members of a banned Islamic group stood trial in Paris on Monday on terror charges after police found a ‘hit list’ of Jewish stores marked ‘targets’ in files belonging to its leader. Several of the stores belonged to the Hyper Cacher chain, like the one in which four people were killed in a hostage drama two days after the Islamist killings at Charlie Hebdo. The fourteen are charged with criminal conspiracy related to a terrorist enterprise. Some also face charges of illegal possession of weapons. All face prison terms of ten years if found guilty. One of the group's reported sympathisers, Omar Diaby, is a top recruitment sergeant of French Islamists for al-Nusra Front, the Syrian jihadist group.
