Nabil Ouerfelli and Yasmine Znaidi, two leaders of the Paris and Gaza-based Islamic charity Pearl of Hope, have been charged with financing terrorism, and the charity has been shut down. Ouerfelli, who also fought in Syria, has links to militant groups there, including the Al Nusrah Front and the Islamic Front. A suspected Boko Haram attack on a French cement factory in Nigeria was repelled by Nigerian forces.
