France commemorates attack on Charlie Hebdo

- At the end of the morning of January 7, 2015 called Chérif Kouachi (32) and Saïd Kouachi (34) armed with Kalashnikovs in the Paris offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo inside. The French-Algerian brothers shots within minutes ten people dead, eight journalists, a visitor and a police officer who was present to protect the editor. Five others were wounded behind.

The shock was huge, fueled by the cold reckoning by the duo. On the street they executed an injured policeman with a shot to the head. According to a witness they claimed to belong to al-Qaeda. The motive for the frenzy: cartoons of Mohammed. The perpetrators fled, but died two days later in Dammartin-en-Goële in a shootout with police. Je suis Charlie, the slogan which then ushered expressed support for press freedom.

January 9th lap Amedy Coulibaly (32) in a kosher supermarket in Paris four people dead and seventeen others hostage. He himself was killed in police fire. His demand, a license for the two brothers, had no chance.

President Hollande and Mayor Hidalgo Tuesday laid wreaths and already unveiled plaques. Charlie Hebdo itself brings a special edition.
