Terrorist attack in ParisThe terrorist attack on the Paris office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which killed 12 people, most likely, was organized by four Al-Qaeda militants. Representative of the French police union Rocco Contento said that three masked terrorists armed with machine guns entered the building and shot journalists and security. The fourth militant waited for his acomplices in the car. Shouting "Allahu akbar!" as they fired, the men also spoke flawless, unaccented French in the military-style noon-time attack on the weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo, located near Paris' Bastille monument. The publication's depictions of Islam have drawn condemnation and threats before — it was firebombed in 2011 — although it also satirized other religions and political figures.
