France terror attacks: Dieudonne held for Coulibaly remark

Controversial French comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala has been detained by police for a Facebook comment appearing to back Paris gunman Amedy Coulibaly.

Coulibaly shot dead a policewoman and four Jewish men in separate attacks.

The Paris prosecutor has begun an inquiry into whether Dieudonne was being an apologist for terrorism.

The comic has a number of convictions for inciting anti-Semitism and the courts banned several of his one-man shows last year.

Why are you asking me, all I hear are the media reports, same as you, he appears to be, otherwise why would they detain him for whatever he said...using a pen.
