Vile Muslim Murderer posts a video from Prison

Youssouf Fofana, the leader of a gang known as the Barbarians is suspected of posting anti-Semitic videos online. Fofana was jailed in 2009 for torturing and killing a Jewish man in the Paris suburbs.

"I am Fofana, Youssouf, a young Muslim who has flaws and who has made mistakes," says the man on the videos posted on YouTube. The man insists he is a "war trophy" taken by New York zionists, le daily L’Est-Eclair reveals.

"It’s unacceptable to see something like that today," said Emmanuel Gauthrin, an official working for the prison section of the trade union FO, in an interview with Le Monde.

French prosecutors in the town of Troyes have opened an enquiry into how the videos were posted on the web. Le Monde reports that Fofana’s cell was searched and that no recording equipment was found inside.

Fofana, the leader of a gang called the Barbarians, was handed a life sentence in 2009 for the murder of a Jewish man Ilan Halimi.

Halimi was lured into a trap set up by Fofana and his accomplices when he was approached by a female gang member in a mobile phone shop. Halimi was held for three weeks by Fofana and several other gang members in the basement of building in the Paris outskirts, He was found dying, near Sainte-Geneviève-des-bois station in south Paris, in the early hours of February 13, naked and with two knife wounds to his throat and burns over 80 percent of his body, the 23-year-old Jewish man died in the ambulance taking him to hospital.
