Kanye West to hire counter-terror specialist for Kim Kardashian after jewel is found in street near scene of Paris ‘robbery’
Jewel found abandoned in the street may provide crucial DNA clues if it were dropped by a raider, according to source
KANYE West is enlisting a counter-terror expert after wife Kim Kardashian’s robbery hell.
The rapper, 39, has also contacted a cyber security specialist amid fears Kim’s social media posts made her a target.
It comes as it emerged yesterday that a jewel was found in a Paris street near the robbery scene.
Kim has also already made an insurance claim following the gem heist, listing 13 items together valued at £4.5million, it emerged yesterday.
The cost of items stolen in last Monday’s raid — including Kim's £3.2million 20 carat emerald engagement ring — had been put at twice that.

A source confirmed Kanye had spoken to Brad Pitt’s former minder Aaron Cohen, who was in the Israeli Special Forces.
He offers counter-terror advice and “active shooter” training and runs a Hollywood VIP protection service.
Kanye has also spoken to US cyber security expert Joseph Steinberg.
The source said: “Kanye’s meeting people at the very top in their field. He’ll be spending a lot of money to ensure they become part of his security operation.”
A source close to the investigation said the dropped jewel could provide DNA to lead to the robbers.
They bound and gagged mum-of-two Kim, 35, in her £6,000-a-week apartment in the city’s 8th Arrondissement.
A source close to the investigation said: “A piece of stolen jewellery was found close to the block soon after the raid, and was presumably dropped by the gang.
“It could provide DNA evidence, and also suggests that the criminals may have made mistakes because they were in such a hurry.
The source said: “This could be a very important breakthrough.”
