Paris magazine attack: Killers warned cartoonist mother
Paris: Masked terrorists entered the office building in Paris where they murdered 12 people Wednesday by threatening a young mother and her daughter. Corinne Rey, a cartoonist for the Charlie Hebdo, says she was forced to enter the security code after returning from picking up her child at daycare.“I just went to get my daughter from daycare. As I got to the front door of the building, two masked, armed gunmen brutally threatened us,” she told L'Humanité. “They wanted to enter, go up. I typed the code.”
Silence, tears in Paris after attack
AFP workers stood shoulder to shoulder, buses and metros halted, and only the toll of bells and sound of weeping broke the silence on Thursday as France honoured the 12 people massacred at Charlie Hebdo magazine.
“Charlie will be free!” cried a woman joining a large crowd in front of Paris’ medieval Notre Dame cathedral, a moment before noon when the country observed a national minute of silence. Among the thousands gathered, many in tears, some prayed and a long line formed to enter the cathedral for a mass.
