Terror in Paris: Gunmen storm French magazine office, kill 12 staff

Two masked men (pictured) brandishing Kalashnikovs stormed the headquarters of French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, this afternoon and opened fire on staff, killing 12 people and wounding 10, including reporters, administrative staff and two police police officers.

According to local media reports, some witnesses claimed that the attackers stalked the building for a few minutes, asking for people that work at the magazine by name before opening fire, and killing the mag's editor and cartoonist while they were having their editorial meeting.

The attack is supposedly in revenge for the magazine's mockery of the Holy Prophet Mohammed in a cartoon. A journalist with Europe1 News said several men in black were heard shouting 'the Prophet has been avenged', after the mass shooting. Police chased the attacker but the men managed to escape in a car they hijacked. The attackers are still on the loose. See photos after the cut...

    ReplyDelete
  111. All countries that accept mohammedans will reap the consequences. The problem of the world for decades has not been hunger or earthquakes or tsunamis. No. The universal scourge is mohammedans killing everywhere, filling the earth with violence, raping and plundering the lands. They like nothing good. They want to live in the rubble of the world they so desperately seek to destroy. No wonder they are miserable.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I hate Islam and I wish the religion can be wiped off the earth.
