Frances Jewish community was concerned after a man attempted to set fire to Hyper Cacher store in suburban Paris a decade after it fell victim to a terror attack where four people were murdered.
Security cameras captured images of a man setting fire to containers placed at the entrance to the shop before starting a fire in a nearby garbage bin at 2 am on Wednesday night. Firefighters who were called to the scene extinguished the flames.

"Very few people understand what we have been through, said Brigit D'jean a member of the community. "There is a certain indifference when it comes to the Jewish community," she said adding that the attack on the Jewish store would not have resonated as much had it not happened soon after the attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine, a couple of days earlier.
