Sad anniversary: ​​Islamists attacked Charlie Hebdo 10 years ago, 17 people were killed

In addition to President Emmanuel Macron and numerous ministers, the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, will also participate in the commemoration at the former headquarters of the publication. A shooting at a newspaper on January 7, 2015, as well as related attacks on a police officer and a kosher supermarket in the days that followed, killed a total of 17 people. The three perpetrators were shot and killed by the security forces.

Only in the attack on Charlie Hebdo, in which two brothers opened fire on the newsroom and caused bloodshed, twelve people lost their lives.

The newspaper previously published caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that enraged parts of the Muslim world.

The attacks in Paris in early 2015 were the beginning of a series of Islamist terrorist attacks in France that killed more than 230 people.
