Charlie Hebdo
I condemn a terrorist attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris today that left at least 12 dead of which 10 are Charlie Hebdo staff, including cartoonists Charb, Cabu, Tignous and Wolinski. Several people were wounded . This is an unprecedented attack on media freedom and freedom of expression, My condolences go to the families and colleagues of the victims.” At least two gunmen entered the editorial offices and opened fire before fleeing. Swift condemnation and reaction came from top French authorities. This is the deadliest attack in the history of the French press and the third attack on French newspapers in recent years. The offices of Charlie Hebdo were also fire bombed in 2011. In November 2013 a gunman opened fire in the offices of the newspaper Libération.
