France suffers yet another terrorist attack

France suffers yet another terrorist attack

YESTERDAY the French decided to light up the Eiffel Tower in rainbow colours, in solidarity with the American victims of terrorism in Orlando. But before the lights were even switched on, terrorism struck again on French soil. Last night two police employees—one an officer, the other an official—were knifed to death in their home west of Paris by a man identified by the French police as Larossi Abballa. President François Hollande called it “unquestionably” an act of terrorism. Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility. After two bloody terrorist attacks last year, France is struggling to consider such events the new normal.

The latest attack took place in Magnanville, a residential suburb some 50 kilometres (32 miles) west of Paris. According to the French prosecutor, Abballa stabbed the police officer to death before taking hostage his partner, an official at a nearby police station, along with their three-year-old son. After an elite police squad stormed their home in a burst of gunfire, shooting Abballa dead, they discovered that he had cut the woman’s throat. The child survived. Three other suspects thought to be in his circle were today detained for questioning.

Abballa grew up near Magnanville in Mantes-la-Jolie, a heavily Muslim town that squats beside the motorway and is dominated by brutalist tower blocks. He ran a food-delivery business. He was not only known to French intelligence services, which monitored his phone calls earlier this year, but had been convicted in connection with past terrorist offences. In 2013 Abballa was sentenced to prison for his part in a network of jihadist recruiters linked to al-Qaeda in Pakistan, and served time in prison in France. Marc Trévedic, the anti-terrorism judge who secured his conviction, described Abballa as “unpredictable” and “concealing”, and said that he had clearly wanted to become a jihadi.

The French public prosecutor, François Molins, confirmed that Abballa had sworn allegiance to IS three weeks ago. At his home the police found a list of targets, which included police and prison officers, some public figures, rappers and journalists. In a 13-minute video that Abballa posted on Facebook, before it was taken down, he vowed to “turn the Euro into a graveyard”, according to David Thomson, a French author on jihadism who saw the post. This was a reference to the Euro 2016 football tournament, which France is currently hosting, and which has seen its own share of unusually violent hooliganism entirely unrelated to terrorism.

France is already under a state of emergency, which the government extended in order to cover the month-long football tournament. So the country was more alert than ever to the threat of a terrorist attack. As well as 10,000 soldiers on patrol, 90,000 police and security officers have been deployed on the streets—more personnel than in the entire German army. Yet the Magnanville attack once again underscores the vast difficulty of monitoring would-be terrorist activity, and deterring attacks.

Indeed, after the Paris attacks last year, France came under some criticism for the quality of its intelligence work, since many of the terrorists were known to its own services. Yet events in both Magnanville and Orlando show how hard it is to detect imminent attacks, even when individuals are monitored, if suspects are careful about their public behaviour and communication. Like Omar Mateen, the Orlando shooter, who had been interviewed by the FBI over his links to IS, Abballa had been monitored by French intelligence. Yet, as with the FBI, the French services judged that there was nothing they could detect from his conversations that suggested he was about to launch an attack, the French prosecutor said.

The Magnanville attack also underlines the multi-faceted nature of the terrorist attacks now being carried out in the West. France last year faced home-grown suicide bombers, as well as gunmen armed with an arsenal of powerful weaponry. It has since reinforced perimeter security at transport hubs, stadiums, shopping centres and other public places. Yet unlike the bloodbath in Orlando this week and at the Bataclan concert hall and terrace cafés of Paris last November, Abballa carried out a savage attack with just a knife, forcing himself into the private home of an off-duty officer. No heavy weapons were found at his home. “Another level of horror has been reached,” said Manuel Valls, the French prime minister.

France continues to feel particularly vulnerable. The government reckons that as many as 1,400 French citizens are involved in jihad, either already in Syria and Iraq, waiting to go, or having returned to France. This compares with some 250 Americans, according to the Programme on Extremism at George Washington University. IS vowed to make the month of Ramadan, which began on June 6th, a bloodbath in Europe and America. Patrick Calvar, head of the DGSI, the French domestic intelligence service, recently told a parliamentary commission that France was the country “the most at threat”. Each attack on French soil makes learning to live with that level of threat just that bit harder still.

Senators fail the American people (again)

Senators fail the American people (again)

“GUN violence requires more than moments of silence. It requires action. In failing that test, the Senate failed the American people.” President Barack Obama didn’t mince his words in a tweet on June 21st, the day after the Senate failed to pass four proposals to tighten gun control. Ever since he came to power Mr Obama has tried his best to make it harder to get hold of a gun in a country where an estimated 300m guns (of which 20m to 30m are assault-style rifles) are in the hands of civilians. And with frustrating regularity his efforts have been thwarted by legislators.

On June 20th four proposals were up for a vote in the Senate. The Democratic Party’s two proposals included a “no-fly, no-buy” draft law, which would bar anyone on terrorist watch-lists from buying a gun; the other draft law would expand background checks of gun buyers from shops to online sales and gun shows. The Republicans proposed a 72-hour delay before people on watch-lists can buy guns, to give the government an opportunity to prove, through the court system, that the purchaser is a terrorist threat; their second proposal was to redefine mental incapacity. None of the four draft laws managed to get the 60 votes required to pass. 

The vote in the Senate came after 49 people were killed and 53 injured on June 12th in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. It was the bloodiest mass shooting in modern American history and the worst ever attack on gay Americans. But there was no reason to think this would have changed the minds of self-styled defenders of the Second Amendment. Previous horrors have left them similarly unmoved.

One day after 14 people died and 21 were injured in a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, last December the Senate defeated a bill that would have prevented people on the terror watch-list from buying guns. Opponents argued then, as they do now, that such a law could curtail the gun rights of innocent Americans who were mistakenly placed on the terror list. In 2012 a mass shooting at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, killed 20 six- and seven-year-old children and six staff members, leaving Americans prostrate with grief. Hopes were high at the time there would be some compromise at last. Yet even a modest bipartisan bill to enhance background checks for gun purchasers came up a few votes short in the Senate.

The inability of legislators to act on gun control is a regular reminder of the political power in Congress of the pro-gun National Rifle Association (NRA), perhaps the country’s most influential lobby group. Numerous surveys show that the majority of Americans are in favour of stricter gun laws. Even so, gun enthusiasts, who believe that the good guys must be armed to fight the baddies, tend to be far more politically active. They also make more munificent donations to politicians than do the advocates of gun control. Some of the Senate’s members who are most at risk of losing their seats at the next election thus stood firmly with the NRA at the Senate vote. Pat Toomey, a senator from Pennsylvania, Ohio’s Rob Portman and Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson were among them. All three supported the Republican proposal, which the NRA condones but nearly everyone else considers unworkable, to introduce a 72-hour delay before people on watch-lists can buy guns to give the government an opportunity to prove that the purchaser is a terrorist threat. 

On June 22nd Susan Collins, a Republican senator from Maine, unveiled a compromise draft law. It prohibits gun sales to people on two terrorist watch-lists, including the no-fly list, which bans suspected terrorists from flying to or from America or crossing American airspace. According to Mrs Collins, her bill would stop about 2,700 Americans and 106,300 foreigners from buying guns. The bill also includes a five-year “look-back provision” that requires shops to alert the FBI if someone like the Orlando killer, who used to be on a broader terrorism database, buys a gun. It allows American citizens and holders of a green card to appeal if their purchase is restricted and to get their legal fees refunded if they win. Predictably, the NRA called the Collins bill "unconstitutional" and claimed that it would not have prevented the Orlando massacre. 

The Senate is expected to vote on the Collins draft law this week or next. Yet even if it passes it will probably be voted down in the House where the Republican leadership has shown little enthusiasm for any type of gun-control measures. Four days after Orlando, Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House, said that “going after the Second Amendment” will not stop terrorism. A cartoon on June 21st in the New Yorker shows a man standing behind a lectern in the Senate. The caption reads “Thank you for the moment of outrage. And now back to doing absolutely nothing.”

A bombing in Istanbul blows apart Turkey’s charm offensive

A bombing in Istanbul blows apart Turkey’s charm offensive

THE morning after the suicide bombing at Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport, a grim silence hung over the normally bustling terminal. One explosion had blown off several windows and hundreds of square metres of roof panels. A pile of glass and columns pockmarked by bullets marked the site of another blast. Taxi drivers idled outside, waving down the few shocked passengers who trickled out of the building. Flights had resumed.

The three suicide bombers who attacked the airport, Istanbul’s gateway to the world, on Tuesday evening killed at least 41 people and left 239 wounded. Early signs suggested that Islamic State (IS) had a role in the bombing, said Turkey’s prime minister, Binali Yildirim.

According to officials and witnesses, at least one of the attackers opened fire with an AK-47 machine gun before detonating his suicide vest inside the arrivals terminal, just outside the luggage pickup area. Another struck near the X-ray scanners by the departures hall entrance, the third at a nearby car park. All three had arrived at the airport by taxi.

Security camera footage from the arrivals hall shows panicked travellers running for cover, trailed by one of the bombers. Gunned down at close range by a police officer, the attacker loses control of his own weapon, falls to the ground and blows himself up.

IS attacks have killed nearly 200 people in Turkey since last summer. The group last struck in late April, when a suicide bomber killed two people outside a police station in Gaziantep, in the country’s south. Since the start of the year, rockets fired from IS strongholds in Syria have killed another 21 people in Kilis, a town near the border. The interior ministry claims to have foiled dozens of other attacks, including a plan to bomb bars and night clubs in Ankara, the country’s capital, on New Year’s Eve. In an indictment drawn up earlier this week, prosecutors demanded life sentences for 36 people suspected of involvement in an IS attack that killed 101 people in Ankara last October.

With the exception of the murders of at least five Syrian activists, IS has not claimed responsibility for any of its attacks inside Turkey. Its publications and social-media accounts, however, have vilified Turkey ever since the country decided last year to open its airbases to coalition jets operating against IS in Syria.

By targeting Ataturk Airport, one of the world’s busiest, the attackers appeared determined to damage Turkey’s $30 billion-a-year tourism industry. Hotels and resorts are already reeling from a Russian boycott, earlier IS bombings and the war in the Kurdish southeast, as well as terror attacks by an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Foreign arrivals were down by 35% on last year’s figures in May, the largest such drop in decades.

The days leading up to the attack offered some hope of a respite for Turkish tourism. On Monday, Mr Yildirim announced a deal to restore diplomatic relations with Israel after a six-year hiatus. Under the agreement, Israel will compensate the families of ten Turkish activists killed by its troops during a 2010 raid on a flotilla carrying supplies to the Gaza Strip. It will also allow Turkey to send aid to Gaza. On the same day, Turkey’s president signed a letter apologising for the downing of a Russian plane last November. The incident prompted Moscow to impose an embargo on Turkish food products and restrict travel to the country. For tourism, hope of a recovery has now been replaced by fear of a further contraction.

To some in Turkey, the timing suggests that the attack was a response to the agreement with Israel. Yet security experts find it hard to imagine that the attackers could have planned and pulled off an attack as complex as this one in a matter of days. “It may be that they had this going and decided to accelerate,” says Selim Koru, a researcher at the Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey (TEPAV). Regardless of the truth, if Turkish voters interpret the attack as a retaliation, it could make Mr Erdogan’s efforts to re-normalise the country’s international relations harder to pursue.

The Great Education Equalizer?

The latest piece of news on MOOCs — massive online open courses — suggests that they may not yet be the great democratizer of education that they were envisioned to be.

One of the driving ideas behind MOOCs is that they are accessible to everyone, everywhere, regardless of previous educational achievement, socioeconomic status, or physical location. A teenager in rural Montana, a construction worker in Atlanta, and a grandmother in India can take the same courses from the same professors as a Harvard student in Cambridge — for free.

But a new article in Science by Harvard Graduate School of Education doctoral candidate John Hansen, Ed.M.'15, and MIT research scientist Justin Reich, Ed.D.’12, shows that, generally, MOOCs have not reached such a demographically broad audience.

Studying 164,198 participants in 68 MOOCs offered by Harvard and MIT through edX, Hansen and Reich’s research reinforces other findings that the average MOOC participant looks a lot like the average U.S. college graduate. Paying particular attention to high-school and college-age participants, Hansen and Reich found that the majority of MOOC participants lived in more affluent and educated neighborhoods than the average U.S. resident. And the majority of participants — along with their parents — were either on track for college or already held a college or graduate degree.

More specifically, the average MOOC participant resided in a neighborhood where the average household income is $11,998 higher than national average. That number nearly doubles, to $23,181 above the national average, for MOOC participants between the ages of 13 and 17. Most of these participants did not reside in geographically isolated areas, either, but more densely populated ones.

For younger learners, the likelihood of completing a MOOC is tied to socioeconomic status, the researchers found. The higher the participants’ parental educational attainment, neighborhood median income, and neighborhood average educational attainment, the more likely that participant was to fully complete the course. Parental educational achievement matters significantly, just as it does in offline education; adolescent participants were approximately 1.75 times more likely to finish their courses if at least one of their parents had obtained a bachelor’s degree than if neither of their parents had.

THE TAKEAWAY

A key takeaway of the research, says Hansen, is that “we shouldn't expect that the mere availability of free online learning resources will level the playing field between advantaged and disadvantaged students. Even when online learning is free, people with greater financial, social, and technological resources are better able to take advantage of these new opportunities.”

The paper is “an important addition to a growing portfolio of Harvard research in online learning,” adds HGSE Professor of Education Andrew Ho, chair of a university committee that supported the work. “The finding of imbalanced MOOC access is a baseline that instructors and institutions can now improve. MOOCs are a testbed for online learning research, but this paper reminds us that we cannot generalize from MOOC research without first considering how unique — and uniquely variable — the MOOC population is. The paper shows the work that we still need to do to fulfill the promise of MOOCs as a force for equity.”

THE FUTURES OF MOOCS

The simple availability of MOOCs, it seems, will not be enough to level the educational playing field. So do MOOCs have any transformative power?

The “course” part of MOOCs may not be their key contribution to education, explains Hansen. Instead, “the development of digital materials and platforms that facilitate other innovations in learning at scale may turn out to be more significant,” he says. “For example, in the same way that teachers can select chapters and assignments from a textbook, there are MOOCs designed to allow Advanced Placement teachers to customize and repurpose the materials for their own classroom use.”

And MOOCs, as they exist today, may eventually become more used by less traditional students — if educators purposefully encourage those students to explore them.

“Freely available learning technologies can offer broad social benefits, but educators and policymakers should not assume that the underserved or disadvantaged will be the chief beneficiaries,” Hansen and Reich write. “Closing gaps with digital learning resources requires targeting innovation toward the students most in need of additional support and opportunity.”

A struggling, or isolated, or curious, student may not take control of his education all on his own — but with MOOCs, it may be a little bit easier for teachers and guidance counselors to point that student in the right direction.
