French police have shot dead the man who attacked Strasbourg's Christmas market on Tuesday, the interior minister has said. A police unit came across Cherif Chekatt in a Strasbourg street and shot him after he opened fire. Saudi Arabia and Iran have both welcomed a truce signed by their Yemeni allies, the government and the Houthi rebels. A Saudi diplomat said the kingdom and its partners strongly supported the agreement to withdraw both sides' troops from the port of Hodeidah. There have been protests in the Somali city of Baidoa following the arrest of Mukhtar Robbow former leader of the Al Shabab islamist insurgent group who defected from the Jihadist group last year. He was detained just a week before he was scheduled to run for a regional presidency.
