On 7 January 2015, at approximately 11:30 CET (10:30 UTC), two masked gunmen armed with Kalashnikov rifles, a shotgun, and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher stormed the headquarters of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris.[2][3][4][5][9][10] They shot and killed 12 people, including eight Charlie Hebdo employees and two National Police officers, and wounded 11 others.[11][12][13]

The gunmen entered the building and began shooting with automatic weapons, while shouting "Allahu Akbar".[note 1][14] Up to 50 shots were fired during the attack.[15] Several people have been detained by the police in connection with the attack, while the manhunt is ongoing for the two suspects. At 10:30 CET, on the day following the attack, the two suspects were said to have been spotted north-east of Paris, travelling towards the city.[16] A third suspect has turned himself in.

The incident is France's deadliest act of terrorism since 18 June 1961, when 28 people died in a train bombing perpetrated by the Organisation de l'armée secrète (OAS) in the context of the Algerian War.[17]

The remaining staff of Charlie Hebdo have announced that publication will continue, with next week's edition of the newspaper to be released next week as usual.[18]

Background

Main article: Charlie Hebdo

Charlie Hebdo (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁli ɛbdo]; French for Weekly Charlie) is a French satirical weekly newspaper, featuring cartoons, reports, polemics and jokes. Irreverent and stridently non-conformist in tone, the publication is strongly antireligious[19] and left-wing, publishing articles about the extreme right, Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, politics and culture, among other issues. The magazine was first published from 1969 to 1981. It folded, but was resurrected in 1992.[citation needed]

The magazine, which has a history of attracting controversy, was unsuccessfully sued in 2006 by Islamic organizations for having published the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons. The cover of a 2011 issue, dubbed "Charia Hebdo", depicted a cartoon of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[20] The newspaper's office, at the time in the 20th arrondissement, was fire-bombed[21] and its website hacked.

In 2012, the newspaper published a series of satirical cartoons of Muhammad, including nude caricatures;[22][23] this came days after a series of attacks on U.S. embassies in the Middle East, purportedly in response to the anti-Islamic film Innocence of Muslims, prompting the French government to close embassies, consulates, cultural centers, and international schools in about 20 Muslim countries.[24] Riot police surrounded the newspaper's offices to protect against possible attacks.[23][25]

Cartoonist Stéphane "Charb" Charbonnier was the editor-in-chief from 2009 until his death in the shooting. In 2013, he was added to al-Qaeda's most wanted list, along with three Jyllands-Posten staff members: Kurt Westergaard, Carsten Juste and Flemming Rose.[26][27][28]

Event

On 7 January 2015, at about 11:30 CET (10:30 UTC), two masked gunmen armed with Kalashnikov rifles, a shotgun, and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher stormed Charlie Hebdo's Paris headquarters.[2][3][4][5][10][29] They opened fire with automatic weapons while shouting "Allahu Akbar", as captured in a video.[14] They shot and killed 12 people, and wounded 11 others.[11][30] Two of those killed were police officers.[31]

Before the shooting, the gunmen burst into number 6 Rue Nicolas-Appert, where the magazine's archives were based. The gunmen reportedly shouted, "Is this Charlie Hebdo?", before realising they had the wrong address and fled. They went to the magazine's headquarters at number 10 Rue Nicolas-Appert.[32]

Cartoonist Corinne Rey reported that two armed and hooded men, speaking perfect French, threatened the life of her toddler daughter whom she had picked up from day care, and forced her to type in the code to open the door to the building.[33][34] The men went to an office on the second floor, where the staff were in an editorial meeting with about 15 members in attendance.[35] The shooting lasted five to ten minutes. Witnesses reported that the gunmen sought out members of the staff by name[36] before executing them with single shots to the head.[37] Other witnesses reported that the gunmen identified themselves as belonging to Al-Qaeda in Yemen.[8]

An authenticated video surfaced on the Internet showing two gunmen and a wounded police officer, the latter lying in pain on a sidewalk near the corner of Boulevard Richard Lenoir‎ and Rue Moufle, 180 m east of the main crime scene, after an exchange of gunfire. One of the gunmen runs toward the policeman, shouting in French, "Did you want to kill me?" The policeman answers, "No, it's ok, chief" [non c'est bon chef], raising his hand towards the gunman, who shoots the policeman in the head at close range.[38] The gunmen leave and shout, "We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad. We have killed Charlie Hebdo!"[39][40]

The gunmen escaped in a getaway car and drove to Porte de Pantin, where they hijacked another car, forcing the driver out.[11] As they fled, they ran over a pedestrian and shot at responding police officers.[41] There are three suspects.[30] A massive manhunt began immediately after the attack, after one suspect left his ID card in an abandoned getaway car.[42][43] Police officers are searching apartments in the Parisian region, in Strasbourg and Reims.[44][45] One identified suspect had turned himself in at a Charleville-Mézières police station. The two other suspects have robbed a filling station near Villers-Cotterêts.[46][47] Seven people from the brothers Kouachi's entourage have been placed under custody.[48] Jihadist flags and Molotov cocktails have been found in an abandoned getaway car.[49]

Victims

Killed:

Wounded:

  • Philippe Lançon, journalist, shot in the face and in critical condition
  • Fabrice Nicolino, 59, journalist, shot in the leg
  • Riss, 48, cartoonist
  • Simon Fieschi, 31, journalist, shot in the shoulder[58]
  • Several unspecified police officers[59][60][61]
  • A female driver whose car was hit by the perpetrators when they fled[62]

Three people in the meeting (two staff members and a guest who accompanied Michel Renaud) were unharmed. A second Sodexo employee was also unharmed.[63][64]

Aftermath

The remaining staff of Charlie Hebdo have announced that publication will continue, with next week's edition of the newspaper to be released next week as usual. With eight pages it will be half its usual length and will have a print run of one million copies, compared to its usual 60,000.[65]

Suspects

Photograph of Saïd Kouachi from his identification card, left in the getaway car.

Saïd Kouachi (born 7 September 1980) and Chérif Kouachi (born 29 November 1982) were identified by French police as the main suspects who were the masked gunmen in the shooting.[66][67] The two French nationals who are brothers, from Gennevilliers, are aged 34 and 32, respectively.[66][68][69] Orphaned at a young age, Chérif Kouachi was raised in foster care in Rennes before joining his brother in Paris.[70]

In 2008, Chérif Kouachi was convicted of terrorism charges and sentenced to three years in prison, along with 18 months of suspension, for having assisted in sending fighters to militant Islamist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's group[71] in Iraq, and being part of a group that solicited young French Muslims to fight with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq.[66][69][72] Chérif Kouachi said he was inspired to help Iraq's insurgency by outrage at the torture of inmates of the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib.[73][74]

An 18-year-old unemployed man of unknown nationality was identified by the police as a third suspect in the shooting, accused of driving the getaway car.[66][75][76] He is believed to have been living recently in Charleville-Mézières, approximately 200 kilometres northeast of Paris near France's border with Belgium.[77] At 02:22 CET on 8 January, it was reported he had turned himself in at a Charleville-Mézières police station.[77][78] The man has said he was in class at the time of the shooting.[79] His involvement in the attack is questionable, as all his classmates testified that he was present at school in Charleville-Mézières during the attack.[80] Police says that he is currently not being charged.[81]

Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, attending a rally in the Place de la République in the wake of the shooting, said, "What we saw today was an attack on the values of our republic, Paris is a peaceful place.

They have killed cartoonists who have done nothing more than draw drawings which they happened to find offensive. At the end of the day, in a free society people have to be free to offend each other. You cannot have freedom unless people are free to offend. We have no right not to be offended. And the fundamental principle of being free to offend people … is exactly what was under threat by these murderous barbarians. And to even suggest that there is a rationale, an explanation, a rationale that somehow absolves them or sheds greater light on such an horrific, cold-hearted, cowardly light".[142] Elizabeth II also sent "sincere condolences".[143]

Security

Following the attack, France raised its terror alert to the highest level and deployed soldiers to Paris' public transport, media offices, places of worship, and the Eiffel Tower. The British Foreign Office warned its citizens about travelling to Paris.[153] The New York City Police Department also ordered extra security measures to the French Consulate-General headquarters in Manhattan.[37] In Denmark, which had previously been the center of a controversy over cartoons of Muhammad in 2005, security was increased at all media outlets.[154]

Public

Demonstrations

Multiple demonstrations were held against the shootings at the Place de la République in Paris,[155] as well as other cities in France including Toulouse,[156] Nice, Lyon, Marseille, and Rennes. These gatherings lead to 8 January being declared as an official day of mourning by French President Francoise Hollande.[157]

Supporters of free speech used the slogan "Je suis Charlie" (Error: {{language with name/for}}: missing language tag or language name (help)) against the shooting. The statement identifies the speaker with those who died at the Charlie Hebdo shooting, and by extension for freedom of speech and resistance to armed threats. It was used as the hashtag #jesuischarlie on Twitter,[158] as printed or hand-made placards, and displayed on mobile phones at vigils, and on many websites, particularly media sites such as Le Monde. Je suis Charlie quickly trended at the top of Twitter hashtags worldwide following the attack.[159] The US Embassy in Paris changed its Twitter profile picture to the "Je suis Charlie" placard.[160]

It is estimated that around 35,000 people gathered in Paris holding "Je suis Charlie" signs in order to condemn the attack, protest terror, and encourage freedom of expression. 15,000 people also gathered in Lyon and Rennes.[161] 10,000 gathered in Nice and Toulouse, 7,000 in Marseille, and 5,000 each in Nantes, Grenoble and Bordeaux. More than 100,000 people in total gathered within France to partake in these demonstrations.[162]

Similar demonstrations and candle vigils spread to other cities outside of France as well, including Brussels, Barcelona,[163] Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Toronto, and Washington, D.C.[164][165] Around 2,000 demonstrators had gathered in London's Trafalgar Square and sang the French National Anthem.[166][167] Despite a temperature of −21 °C (−6 °F), over 1000 people gathered in Montreal chanting "Liberty!" and "Charlie!" outside of the city's French Consulate. Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre was among the gatherers and proclaimed, "Today, we are all French!" He confirmed the city's full support of the people of France and called for strong support for the freedom of expression.[168]

Immediately on January 8 the vigils had spread to Australia. Gatherings had formed in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth with thousands of people holding up "Je suis Charlie" signs. The gathering in Perth was described by French consul Patrick Kedemos as "a spontaneous, grass roots event." He added that, "We are far away but our hearts today [are] with our families and friends in France. It [was] an attack on the liberty of expression, journalists that were prominent in France, and at the same time it's an attack, or a perceived attack on our culture."[169]

Media

Media organizations carried out protests against the shootings. Libération, Le Monde, and Le Figaro, along with other French media outlets, used black banners carrying the "Je suis Charlie" slogan across the top of their websites.[170] The front page of Libération's printed version was a different black banner, stating "Nous sommes tous Charlie" (We are all Charlie), while Paris Normandie renamed itself Charlie Normandie for the day.[154] The French version of Google displayed a black ribbon of mourning on the day of the attack.[10]

Ian Hislop, editor of the British satirical magazine Private Eye, released a statement saying, "I am appalled and shocked by this horrific attack – a murderous attack on free speech in the heart of Europe. ... Very little seems funny today."[171] Many cartoonists from around the world responded to the attack on Charlie Hebdo by posting cartoons relating to the shooting.[172]

The New York Times, New York Daily News,[173] CNN, Al-Jazeera America, Associated Press, and The Daily Telegraph[174] while covering the case, chose to not show the caricatures, in order to not offend Muslims, while Bloomberg News,[175] Getty Images,[176] Huffington Post,[177] The Daily Beast,[178] Gawker,[179] Vox,[180] and Free Beacon[181] featured Charlie Hebdo cartoons.[182][183]

Other media publications such as the Berliner Kurier from Berlin, Germany and Gazeta Wyborcza from Poland reprinted the cartoon the day after the attack.[184] At least three Danish newspapers featured Charlie Hebdo cartoons, and the tabloid B.T. used one on the cover of Muhammad lamenting being loved by "idiots".[154]

Two Islamist newspapers in Turkey ran headlines that were seen by some as justifying the attack. The Yeni Akit newspaper ran an article entitled "Attack on the magazine that provoked Muslims", and Türkiye, a newspaper close to the government, ran an article entitled "Attack on the magazine that insulted our Prophet".[185] However, Egyptian daily Al-Masry Al-Youm featured drawings by young cartoonists signed with "Je suis Charlie" in solidarity with the victims.[186]

Muslim reactions

The French Council of the Muslim Faith and the Muslim Council of Britain spoke out against the attack, with imam Dalil Boubakeur stating, "[W]e are horrified by the brutality and the savagery."[187] The Union of Islamic Organisations of France released a statement condemning the attack, along with imam Hassen Chalghoumi saying that those behind the attack "have sold their soul to hell".[188] The vice president of the U.S. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community also condemned the attack, saying: "The culprits behind this atrocity have violated every Islamic tenet of compassion, justice, and peace."[189] According to International Business Times columnist Zoe Mintz, the "Je suis Charlie" slogan was also used by Muslim social media users, with some condemning the attack specifically as an assault on free speech.[190] She also noted that some users were concerned that "Muslims will be linked to an attack committed by extremists and become the target of discrimination."[190]

The League of Arab States released a collective condemnation of the attack. Al-Azhar University also released a statement of denunciation, that violence was never appropriate regardless of "offence committed against sacred Muslim sentiments".[191]

Turkey's foreign minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, raised concerns that the attack could fuel further anti-Islamic stances in France and in Europe as a whole, stances which he said help to fuel terrorism itself. The Dutch Council of Moroccan Mosques also raised concerns that the tension could result in anti-Islam violence in the Netherlands.[192]

The Guardian reported that "Other Muslims said they would only condemn the Paris attack if France condemned the killings of Muslims worldwide."[193] Anjem Choudary, a British Islamist, wrote an editorial in USA Today in which he claimed justification from the words of Muhammad that those who insult prophets should face death, and claimed that Muhammad should be protected in order to prevent further violence.[194]

Other reactions

Salman Rushdie, who is also on the 2013 Al-Qaeda most wanted list[26] and received death threats after his novel The Satanic Verses was published, expressed his support for Charlie Hebdo. He said, "I stand with Charlie Hebdo, as we all must, to defend the art of satire, which has always been a force for liberty and against tyranny, dishonesty and stupidity, [-] religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of Islam and we see the tragic consequences in Paris today."[195]

Flemming Rose, the former culture editor of Jyllands-Posten, stated, "Charlie Hebdo didn't shut up... and they have now paid the highest price for that."[196]

Swedish artist Lars Vilks, of the Lars Vilks Muhammad drawings controversy and also on the 2013 Al-Qaeda most wanted list condemned the attacks and said that the terrorist "got what they wanted. They've scared people. People were scared before, but with this attack fear will grow even larger" [197] and that the attack "expose[s] the world we live in today".[198]

Many Twitter accounts supported the gunmen in the Paris terror attack and celebrated on Twitter.[199]
