France is on hunt
for terror suspects
After the gunfire and explosions in the satirical
magazine’s office, France is on hunt for the attackers. Yesterday three masked
terrorist entered in office, shouting ALLAH and started firing. This resulted
into 12 people dead. The magazine is quite famous for making cartoons and
apparently this time it targeted Paghambur Mohammad, which hurt the sentimental
feelings of some Muslim’s, who broke into the magazine office yesterday.
French citizens are still mourning on the death of
Charlie Hebdo. The police are on high alert. Police is carrying out searches to
look these suspects. One of the three has already surrendered and the other two
are highly dangerous brothers.
During the day, two mosques (the holy place of
muslims) were fired at in the wake of yesterday’s attack. Fortunately no one
was injured. Top security officials immediately rushed to those place and they
were a bit late which resulted in the death of police-woman, due to shooting in
the Southern edge. But they are not sure of this shooting to be linked with
yesterday’s attack. An explosion in Kebab shop was reported. Thankfully no one
was hurt there too.
PM Manuel Valls said the two suspects still at
large- Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi- were on France’s intelligence radar. A
third suspect, Mourad Hamyd surrendered at a police station. A security
official had been arrested overnight.
It now turns out that Charlie Hebdo cartoonist
Corinne Rey known as Coco was blackmailed by the gunmen into handing over the
code to them that allowed them to enter the magazine’s premises. Rey had
collected his daughter from a nearby kindergarten and when he was standing
outside his office he was threatened by them and he has no option to not give
them the entry code.
All three are the French Algerian Muslims. They were
saying that they have avenged the prophet, they have killed the Hebdo. They are
believed to have been enraged at the way previous issues of Charles Hebdo
mocked Islamic Fundamentalism.
As French observed a day of national mourning, tens
of thousands of protestors gathered in the spontaneous gestures of solidarity
in Paris and other French cities, as well as in Berlin, Vienna, Tunis, Dublin,
Lima and Moscow.
