View Full Version : Gun attack on Charlie Hebdo, 12 killed 7 injured

Gunmen have attacked the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people and injuring seven, French officials say.

At least two masked attackers opened fire with assault rifles in the office and exchanged shots with police in the street outside before escaping by car.

President Francois Hollande said there was no doubt it had been a terrorist attack "of exceptional barbarity".

A major police operation is under way in the Paris area to catch the killers.

The latest tweet on Charlie Hebdo's account was a cartoon of the Islamic State militant group leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The satirical weekly has courted controversy in the past with its irreverent take on news and current affairs.

The magazine was fire-bombed in November 2011 a day after it carried a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad.

People had been "murdered in a cowardly manner", President Hollande told reporters at the scene. "We are threatened because we are a country of liberty," he added, appealing for national unity.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron said in a tweet: "The murders in Paris are sickening. We stand with the French people in the fight against terror and defending the freedom of the press."

'Black-hooded men'
Two of those killed are police officers, France's AFP news agency reports, and several of the wounded are in a critical condition.

An eyewitness, Benoit Bringer, told French TV channel Itele: "Two black-hooded men entered the building with Kalashnikovs.

"A few minutes later we heard lots of shots."

The men were then seen fleeing the building.

"It's carnage," French police official Luc Poignant told another French channel, BFMTV.

Police have warned French media to be on alert and pay attention to security following the attack.

The country was already on the alert for Islamist attacks after several incidents just before Christmas.

Cars were driven at shoppers in two cities, Dijon and Nantes, and police were attacked by a man wielding a knife in Tours.

While the French government denied the attacks were linked, it announced plans to further raise security in public spaces, including the deployment of around 300 soldiers.

Thoughts?

RIP to those who died :(

Terrorism is very much real and attacks like this only seem to be increasing. Only a few weeks ago we had the one in Sydney and now this one. I can't imagine what those who witnessed this could be going through. It's incredibly scary, especially when I have family heading to Paris on Sunday. It could really happen to anyone at any time and that's what makes it so scary.

Sickening. People that think it's acceptable to kill over drawings and/or people expressing their opinion have no place in our society.

RIP to all those involved in the disasterous results of France's 'enrichment' with the RoP. This won't be the last either.

Looks like there's been a new shooting in eastern Paris.
Reports saying the gunman is linked to the shooting that killed a police woman in Paris yesterday

this isn't the supermarket hostage where 4 people were killed, it's seperate

and so far haven't read anything about it being linked to terrorism


PARIS (AP) — A police officer says two hostages are being held by a gunman in a jewelry store in the southern French city of Montpellier.
The officer, who could not be named speaking about an ongoing situation, said the attacker has locked himself inside the downtown shop, with police ready to intervene outside.
He said it is unclear whether the hostage-taking is related to the massacre Wednesday in Paris at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead.

Marine Le Pen to President Hollande: Suspend visa-free zone, strip terror suspects of French citizenship


http://cdn.rt.com/files/news/35/fe/f0/00/39.si.jpg
France's Front National political party leader Marine Le Pen arrives to attend a meeting at the Elysee palace in Paris, January 9, 2015. (Reuters / Philippe Wojazer)


The leader of France’s rightwing Front National (FN), Marine Le Pen, has asked French President Francois Hollande to suspend the visa-free Schengen Area in Europe and strip dual nationals of their French citizenship if they carry out “barbaric crimes.”

“I expressed to the president the absolute necessity…to immediately suspend Schengen to be able to control our borders as an essential element in the fight against terrorism, and also the fight against arms trafficking,” Le Pen told reporters following a meeting with Hollande on Friday.

The Schengen Area consists of 26 European countries that have abolished passport and any other type of border controls. The agreement allows for both freedom of movement for both European citizens, Schengen visa holders and those who can travel in the area visa-free. Freedom of movement is considered “a fundamental right” guaranteed by the EU to its citizens.

Le Pen also turned her eye to the issue of dual-nationals who have been suspected of engaging in terror-related activities at home or abroad, saying such individuals should be stripped of their French citizenship.

“I also expressed the necessity – in another inevitable way – of measures for the removal or the forfeiture of citizenship for all of those who have dual citizenship who have left to train or fight in a foreign country, and then come back to our territory, to commit barbaric crimes, which seems to be the case with these two murderers who are currently in the process of being chased,” she said.

The measure would put France in line with the United Kingdom, where Home Secretary Theresa May currently has the power to strip foreign born terror suspects of their British citizenship if they possess another citizenship.

Hollande has yet to react to Le Pen’s proposals.

Le Pen made waves on Thursday by expressing her support for the death penalty, saying she would organize a referendum to reintroduce it if elected president in 2017.

Following Wednesday's deadly attack on the office of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in Paris, Le Pen made a passionate speech against Islamic fundamentalism, which she called an "odious ideology."

While Hollande has called for national unity following the tragedy, Le Pen has openly pinned the attack on “radical Islam.”

“Time is up for denial and hypocrisy,” she said. “The absolute rejection of Islamic fundamentalism must be proclaimed loudly and clearly.”

Douglas Murray was amazing on Sky News too. For all talk of the press and western media standing up to Islamism, the BBC and other mainstream broadcasters STILL refuse to show pictures of the Prophet in order not to 'offend' radical muslims. Enough is enough.

my point is quite clear, did you even watch the video? there is one shot fired in the clip and you don't see the head being rocked and you don't see blood/gore of any form because the one shot is clearly placed in front of the supposed victim. watch the video from 1:10 onward once more. every media outlet claims this particular victim to have been killed with a gunshot wound to the head. is it possible he was killed due to a circumstance not video taped? yeah. who knows.

Your 'point' is full of holes and doesn't make sense. Why would he have been killed after the video? Who by? What about the eleven other people that died in the shooting? Were they all cover ups to? A load of nonsense conspiracy rubbish. His head didn't explode, so what? You clearly see the gunman shoot and the cops body fall lifelessly straight after.

I'm still amazed that some people think they asked for it by portraying Muhammad and making a mockery of Islam. Since when is it every justifiable to kill over drawings which, if anything, only further prove a point that extremism is a very real issue? I think people were trying to justify it (albeit it, not fully but to a certain point) yesterday or a few days after. It's baffling :S

He definitely could have used a better word than reabsorbed, but generally speaking I have no qualms with most of what's been said. It's against International law (and for very good reasons) that we can't just strip people of their citizenship, which in turn means they will eventually be allowed back into our country anyway (preferably straight into a prison cell).

But I don't think we should 'monitor' them in society, we should arrest and imprison them, and if they have dual citizenship then their British Citizenship should be stripped!

I'm not trying to justify murder. I just think we allow the media to think for us at times instead of making our own decisions. I am only looking from another perspective and this is only my opinion.

The killers were brainwashed into believing some incredibly extreme things. Despite how vile their actions are, I think it is important to understand what made them pull the trigger regardless of how extreme this was.

Giving someone -Rep just after they've given you -Rep is pretty much the definition of revenge rep.

The example you provided suggested that both the Drawings and the Shootings were on the same level. Don't attempt to backtrack and worm your way out. This is what you wrote:
"I'm sorry but this is no different to someone mocking your GF/BF and you punching them. The paper mocked their almighty leader and they decided to hit back."
This implies the murders were justified because pictures of muhammad were drawn. Killing people for drawing a picture of muhammad is entirely different to punching someone for insulting your girlfriend and the fact you think killing someone is comparable to punching someone is absolutely ridiculous.

Regardless of how the media has brainwashed you, the publication was intended to racially attack people. You might not like to admit it but they were the victims of racism.

We are not talking about how a 'normal' person would react, we are talking about people who are extremists.

As a comparison it is no different, both the triggering action and response taken are of a proportionately lower severity when compared with what happened in France. But as previously stated that was not an attempt to justify what has happened.

The comparison is completely different and stupid. How is the triggering action in France proportionately higher? Both the triggering actions in your example and in France are the same, an insult. The Responses taken differ significantly in level of severity therefore your comparison is wrong. Comparing the two is justifying it as hitting someone for insulting their partner is typically seen as an acceptable reaction (not saying it is, but I guarantee you a large majority think it's an acceptable reaction).

I can't help but feel that you are trying to drag this out until I say something which you feel I will not be able to justify. I have tried to reason with you but you continue to challenge every word of every sentence because you disagree with someones initial point.

I made an initial point which some users may of disagreed with, however I have explained what was meant and I can assure you I am not justifying murder under any circumstances.

I am not willing to be part of such a futile debate.

Yeah because your later posts are you defending your initial one rather than just admitting you made a stupid comparison.
