Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed condemned the recent terrorist attacks in France in a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday.The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces offered his condolences to the president and the families of the victims of the recent attacks, adding that he rejected any justifications used by terrorists to excuse their crimes, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.The Crown Prince also stressed that violence is not representative of the teachings of Prophet Mohammed.“These violent atrocities are inconsistent with the teachings and principles of all monotheistic religions that call for peace, tolerance and love and emphasized the sanctity of human life,” WAM cited the Crown Prince as saying.“Under no circumstances should the Prophet be linked to violence or politicization,” he said.The Crown Prince also called on individuals of different backgrounds to engage in respectful dialogue rather than resort to hate speech and violence.The phone call came after a recent string of attacks following the murder of French teacher Samuel Paty by an extremist. Paty had shown his students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed during a class on the freedom of speech – an act that Muslims consider to be blasphemous.Macron had labeled the killing as an “Islamist” attack and vowed to crackdown on radicalism.Thousands of soldiers have also been stationed across the country in front of places of worship and schools, after a knife-wielding man killed three people in a church in the French city of Nice last week.Read more:Saudi Arabia condemns Prophet cartoons, rejects attempts linking Islam to terrorismFrance knife attack: Woman beheaded in Nice church, two others dead, several injuredKuwait retail co-ops remove French products in boycott over Prophet cartoon

Robert Fisk, a veteran British foreign correspondent who covered the Middle East, died on Sunday aged 74.He died in Dublin's St Vincent's University Hospital from a suspected stroke.Fisk had a long career as a foreign correspondent, much of which was spent covering the Middle East after he moved to Beirut as The Times Middle East correspondent in 1976.While based in Beirut, Fisk covered the Lebanese civil war, later writing his account in the epic “Pity the Nation: Lebanon at War.”He covered key events in the 1970s and 1980s including the Iranian revolution and the subsequent Iran-Iraq War. He then joined The Independent, who he worked for until his death, and was one of the only Western journalists to interview al-Qaeda's leader Osama bin Laden in the 1990s, before bin Laden later went on to execute the September 11, 2001 attacks against the US.Outside of the Middle East, Fisk also covered The Troubles in Belfast early in his career, and later the Bosnian and Kosovan wars in the Balkans.Fisk was a controversial figure who has been accused of being an apologist for the regime of Bashar al-Assad, including by casting doubt on whether the regime carried out chemical attacks against civilians.In 2005, the New York Times described him as “probably the most famous foreign correspondent in Britain.” He received the Press Awards Foreign Reporter of the Year seven times.“Fearless, uncompromising, determined and utterly committed to uncovering the truth and reality at all costs, Robert Fisk was the greatest journalist of his generation. The fire he lit at The Independent will burn on,” wrote The Independent managing director Christian Broughton in the paper.Fisk was born in Kent, England, but later acquired Irish citizenship. He married fellow journalist Lara Marlowe in 1994, but they divorced in 2006. He had no children.Read more:Abbottabad dossier: Curious case of links between Fisk and bin Laden’s lettersJournalists covering border talks between Lebanon and Israel attacked by HezbollahAttacks on journalists during protests increasing, says UNESCO
