Paris grocery gunman has 'hit-list' of targets

There are fears another terror attack could soon strike France after revelations emerged the grocery store gunman spoke of a “hit list” of targets during the siege.

Meryl Bekerman was shot in the arm by gunman Amedy Coulibaly during the attack at the Jewish market that left four people dead.

Her cousin, Esther Bekerman, who visited her in hospital, told News Corp Ms Bekerman overheard chilling phone calls made by Coulibaly during the attack.

“He (the gunman) came running inside and killed a few people,” quoted Ms Bekerman of her cousin.

“Straight away Meryl ran to the back of the shop and hid behind large food stacking trolleys. He came in she was hiding behind there all by herself and she was hit in the arm by a bullet which wouldn’t stop bleeding but she was hiding there all by herself for five hours.

“She was hearing the gunman calling people on the telephone and saying who they needed to kill next, this person in this place that person in that place. He was giving them orders. He was giving them exact times and exact places.”

Ms Bekerman said her cousin told police what she has heard when they interviewed her.

“She was really scared and could not believe it was happening to her especially since she had been talking to friends a few days ago about events here in Paris and saying ‘it wouldn’t happen to us’,” her cousin said.

Ms Bekerman added that her cousin believed she saw Coulibaly enter the market with another man but is not sure what happened to him.

The latest revelation comes as reports surface that Britain is planning to raise its terror threat level to its highest in seven years amid fears it too could face a similar attack like Paris.
