In front of the former headquarters of the “Charlie Hebdo” newsroom, an attacker on Friday attacked two journalists from an agency with a knife and seriously injured them. The 18-year-old was arrested as the alleged perpetrator. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin spoke of an Islamist terrorist act. The Al-Qaeda terrorist network had previously threatened an attack due to the reissue of the controversial “Charlie Hebdo” Muhammad cartoons.
Investigation into attempted murder
The French antiterrorist prosecutor’s office is investigating an assassination attempt in connection with a terrorist act and the formation of a terrorist organization.
In the attack on the satirical newspaper in January 2015, two Islamists cold-bloodedly murdered twelve people, including some of France’s most famous cartoonists. The trial against potential sponsors is ongoing in Paris.
