The detainee on suspicion of assaulting bystanders in Paris admitted his guilt and spoke about his motives. The man was sure he had attacked the journalists of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.
This is reported by the French edition Le Parisien, citing law enforcement sources.
According to the newspaper, the Pakistani Ali H., who was born in 2002 in Islamabad, was very “angry” with the journalists of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper for the satirical cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
As explained by a source close to the Le Parisien investigation, the attacker does not declare his involvement in the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, which has repeatedly threatened the newspaper with cartoons, so the attack “takes on a religious aspect.”
After the attack, law enforcement officers detained 6 people who had close ties to the suspect. The police are trying to find out if these people knew about your friend’s criminal intentions and if they helped him in this.
One of the detainees, a man of Algerian origin, who contacted the suspect after the crime was committed, said that he tried to arrest the attacker, but Ali Kh. He started threatening him too. This was confirmed by CCTV footage, after which he was released.
We will remember, yesterday, near the old Charlie Hebdo newspaper office in Paris, a man with a knife attacked passersby.
The prosecution said the attack was carried out for a terrorist purpose, and another detainee was later discovered.
As a result of the attack, two journalists from the newspaper, whose office is located near the former Charlie Hebdo building, were injured.
