>> a strike at the latter of the u.s. military social media strategy. hacked by apparent i.s.i.l. supporters. holmhello there i'm felicity bar. you're watching al jazeera. dresden anti-immigration rally. and ashraf ghani finally

announces his cabinet three months after being sworn in. hello, two of the u.s. military's top social media accounts have been hacked by what appears to be supporters of the islamic state of iraq and the levant. the twitter and youtube pages of the u.s. central command were targeted. centcom directs all activity at the middle east and africa. the centcom says, on behalf of allah, the most merciful. posted names of ufs generals u.s. generals and e-mail addresses associated with them. centcom general has been hacked also. let's go to the latest from al jazeera's rosalyn jordan, in

washington d.c. give us more about what happened here. >> well this apparently started just about 90 minutes ago. and it went on for approximately 40 minutes or so, and that's when both the youtube and the twitter accounts for centcom were disabled. military officials are saying that they are aware that there was some kind of compromise of both social media accounts and that they're taking steps to try prevent this from happening again. it's important to remind our viewers, felicity that both youtube and twitter are commercial accounts. pretty much anyone around the world can establish an account on either or both websites. and the security is not known to be in particularly robust. so it's perhaps not surprising, that something of this sort would have happened. and of course we also know that this is something that would prove attractive to anyone who might have an issue with the u.s. military or with the u.s.

government for that matter. we happen to know that pretty much every day other governments and individuals apparently try obreach the computer security of the u.s -- to breach the computer security of the u.s. governmental . but what we are talking about here felicity are two commercial accounts. what can be done to enhance the security of these websites because the u.s. military does find that it is quite reliant to use these media to get out its message. >> important to emphasize this is not an actual hack of central command itself. what do we know about the information that was posted, because the account was suspended, what was posted on the account? >> what you outlined, there were so-called war plans listed that the u.s. military could use against china or against north

korea. we don't know whether or not those plans which were described as classified were actually war plans. there were also the lists of generals' names and addresses and phone numbers of what many in the internet community call doing, releasing information about people in an effort of them getting harassed, random photos, one of a soldier with a small goat inside an office. whether this comes from pentagon computers, there is something that has to be investigated but the bigger question ask: how is is how is this going to be managed certainly at a time when the u.s. is dealing with what are so-called cyber-threats ever sony pictures in late december. because they do believe because

they have set up a command for this they do believe breaching computers, websites is a security concern not just for the u.s. but all countries around the world. >> thanks roz. 10,000 soldiers have been mobilized across france after last week's attacks in paris. it is an unprecedented move, and also protecting jewish sites. rory challenge has the story on protecting high security sites. >> the best way to resist is to be open as usual. but one of hungs of places hundreds of places to need an armed guard. >> 770 schools have been identified by security services and are being protected this morning.

know what i.t. means. and the problem is that these terrorists have tried to kill our freedom. it will be very worrying that our own politician he our own laws and our -- plosions politicians and our own laws complete the job. >> balancing freedom and security is an age old problem for democracies and one that france is struck with now. rory challenge, al jazeera paris. >> yvonne we have massive deployment of police, but is it some sense that the capital city is regaining some sort of normality? >> even though thousands have been deployed to protect public places even though we heard on friday francois hollande there is a real sense on the streets of the capital that people are just kind of yearning for things to go back to normal.

remember this is the start of the working week, millions of people heading out to work as they normally would many people cashing in on the discount prices, it is the sale season and many of the touristic areas are bustling with people. there is the feeling this people are wanting things to go back to normal. in some places it was hard to tell that anything even happened last week. having said that, given the words that came out about france being a target, people are on edge, people feel a backlash but on the one sense people are trying to go about their ordinary lives. >> france's intelligence services have of course been accused of failing to prevent the attacks. what more do we know about their role? >> well, that's right. as the dust settles, the focus is now swiftly returning to what they knew, whether they felt act on anything of intelligence, we already know that the kouachi

brothers one of them traveled to yemen in 2011 and another had been jailed in connection with trying to fight in iraq. we know that coulibaly had been in and out of prison. questions are raised about why the securities and intelligence services famed in the sense of some people, had in security. why these managed to fall off the radar. we were in the neighborhood where cherif kouachi was living, there were no intelligence services coming to investigate or ask questions about the brothers. many we spoke to wanted to know why that was the case. having said that, there's no indication so far that there's going to be any kind of potentialofficialinquiry, many people are calling

for because they feel that there was information there that might have been missed and in some sense the attacks potentially could have been avoided. >> yvonne in paris thanks very much. >> nigerian arms group boko haram has attacked cameroon, in the north and just across the border from boko haram's strong hold in northeastern nigeria we get the latest from al jazeera's ahmed idris. what do we know about the attack? >> basically from government officials in cameroon, attacked the military base and the cameroonian authorities responded. in the process they killed more

than 200 boko haram fighters and they seized lots of military equipment from them and one official is even suggesting that probably some of this equipment might have come from a military raid the boko haram fighters had on a military position in nigeria. what they not saying is exactly how many died. but what one soldier we talked to is at least one died in the attack. the cameroonian side lasted for more than four hours so basically people are talking about probably more than one soldier dead in that incident. >> amed idris from the nigerian capital. thank you. after 100 days of uncertainty, afghanistan has taken a significant step to an effective government, the men
