I've been following that on the CNN.The operation seems to be something that took time to be planned and the terrorists where highly trained.The government are still perplexed to draw conclusions on the sect that came for operation either isis or al qaeda but one thing is certain,the group are still out there and there has been a massive manhunt on em

Yes, I read something earlier today that said that several of the cartoonists killed usually work from home.....and were only at the office today for an editorial meeting. Dont remember where I saw it, but if true, someone had inside info.

Someone got some blood money

"" PARIS — French police officials identified three
men as suspects in a deadly attack against
newspaper offices that killed 12 people and
shook the nation on Wednesday.
Two officials named the suspects as
Frenchmen Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi,
who are brothers and in their early 30s, as
well as 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, whose
nationality wasn't immediately clear.
One of the officials said they were linked to a
Yemeni terrorist network. A witness of
Wednesday's shootings at the offices of
weekly satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo said
one of the attackers told onlookers, "You can
tell the media that it's al-Qaida in Yemen."
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity
because they weren't authorized to publicly
discuss the sensitive and ongoing
investigation. No arrests have been confirmed
in the hunt for the attackers.
Masked gunmen stormed the offices of Charlie
Hebdo, which caricatured the Prophet
Muhammad, methodically killing 12 people,
including the editor, before escaping in a car.
It was France's deadliest terrorist attack in
half a century.
Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of
terrorism charges for helping funnel fighters to
Iraq's insurgency and sentenced to 18 months
in prison.
During Cherif Kouachi's 2008 trial, he told the
court, "I really believed in the idea" of fighting
the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. He said he was
motivated by his outrage at television images
of torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison
at Abu Ghraib .
Shouting "Allahu akbar!" as they fired, the
men also spoke fluent, unaccented French in
the military-style noon-time attack on Charlie
Hebdo, located near Paris' Bastille monument.
The publication's depictions of Islam have
drawn condemnation and threats before ? it
was firebombed in 2011 ? although it also
satirized other religions and political figures.
President Francois Hollande said it was a
terrorist act "of exceptional barbarism,"
adding that other attacks have been thwarted
in France in recent weeks. Fears have been
running high in France and elsewhere in
Europe that jihadis returning from conflicts in
Syria and Iraq will stage attacks at home.""

@WalkSoftly: Well they accomplish what they wanted to do. Striking fear and terror into the western world

You think so? Idk.....they mighta fricked up. Prolly not a good idea to pi.ss off journalists. They say the pen is mightier than the sword.

@WalkSoftly: I think so cause I don't think they're going to do any more Muslim cartoons. I hope not though. I'd like to see them a fu.ck you terrorism one.

I've been following this story all day. It does seem suspicious that everyone who worked for the paper happened to be there, and that these people knew exactly where to go.

Ive heard a cpl weird things....like that they knew they were there, called them by name as they shot them.....but had to ask a doorman exactly what building the office was in because they werent quite sure. Strange....maybe all the details will be revealed at a later time....or maybe not
