In what is believed was a terrorist attack this morning in Paris, 12 people were killed including two police officers, 4 cartoonistas and EIC himslef, Charlie Hebdo, inside the premises of the weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Recent reports indicate that the publication had been subject of numerous threats by Islam groups as a reaction of Hebdo’s Muhammad cartoons. Witnesses told bypassers and media they heard the two attackers scream they were from al-Qaeda, and while this has not been confirmed, President Francois Hollande released a statement condemning the heinous acts, which were irrefutably “a terrorist attack.”
Thousands of civilians now stand in the streets of Paris to show their solidarity and union, and social media is flooded with condolences, laments and help offerings for the country. World leaders, journalists and celebrities have all shown their support, outraged by the tragic events:
