#3 Charming:
The woman has been identified as 23-year-old Leila Abdelrazaq ....
Leila Abdelrazaq is a Chicago-based artist and organizer. She is the author of the forthcoming graphic novel, Baddawi, which tells the story of her father's childhood growing up as a Palestinian refugee in Lebanon amidst civil war and political turmoil. She also serves on the national Students for Justice in Palestine steering committee.
Leila: "When I heard about the Charlie Hebdo attacks, I felt that just because I draw comics, I would be expected to identify with the artists, but I really, really didn’t .... I also did not feel compelled to defend their artistic work just because they had been killed for it."
And a HufPo writer:
Abdelrazaq appeared to have two accomplices, a 31-year-old man named Gabriel Schivone ...
Gabriel M. Schivone is from Tucson, AZ, and has worked as a humanitarian volunteer in the Mexico-U.S. borderlands for more than five years. His articles have is appeared in The Arizona Daily Star, The Arizona Republic, the UK Guardian, McClatchy newspapers, The Chicago Tribune and others.
Both of whom are linked to the Paleo propaganda organization The Electronic Intifada. Likely as not she's OFA as well, all seems very Chicago, no? |
