| - | '''''Charlie Hebdo''''' is a [[French satirical]] political weekly [[newspaper]], successor of [[Hara-Kiri (magazine)|Hara-Kiri]], created in 1960. It has a strongly [[left-wing]] and [[anarchist]] slant. | ||

| - | In the early hours of November 2, 2011 the newspaper [[Charlie Hebdo]]'s office in the [[20th arrondissement of Paris|20th arrondissement]] was fire-bombed and its website hacked. The attack was presumably linked to its decision to rename a special edition to "Sharia Hebdo", with the Prophet Mohammed listed as the "editor-in-chief". | ||
| - | The editor of ''Charlie Hebdo'', Stéphane Charbonnier ("[[Charb]]"), was quoted by [[Associated Press|AP]] stating that the attack had been carried out by "stupid people who don't know what Islam is" and that they are "idiots who betray their own religion". [[Mohammed Moussaoui]], head of the [[French Council of the Muslim Faith]], said his organization deplores "the very mocking tone of the paper toward Islam and its prophet but reaffirms with force its total opposition to all acts and all forms of violence." [[François Fillon]], the prime minister, and [[Claude Guéant]], the interior minister, voiced support for ''Charlie Hebdo''. | + | On 7 January 2015, at approximately 11:30 [[Central European Time|CET]] (10:30 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]), two masked gunmen armed with [[Kalashnikov rifle]]s, a [[shotgun]], and a [[Rocket-propelled grenade|rocket-propelled grenade launcher]] stormed the headquarters of the French [[List of satirical magazines|satirical newspaper]] ''[[Charlie Hebdo]]'' in Paris. |
