French Govt. Puts Security Forces on High Alert; Arrests Man Seeking to Behead Magazine Editor

A man has been arrested in France on charges of incitement to commit murder, after he called for the beheading of a magazine editor, the Big News Network website reports today (September 23, 2012).

The man was arrested in the city of La Rochelle, after he made comments on a jihadi website suggesting the editor of satirical weekly magazine "Charlie Hebdo" should be decapitated.

The magazine published cartoons last week mocking the prophet Mohammed.

Because of the violent protests occurring across the world against an anti-Islam film made in the United States -- in addition to the anti-Islam cartoons in the magazine in France --  the French government has put its security forces on high alert.
