"On behalf of Greeks I express deep sorrow and abhorrence at the terrorist attack in Paris which cost so many lives. Greek people stand by the side of the families of innocent victims and participate in the mourning of the French people," Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said in a written statement.
At least 12 people were killed in the shooting at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo Wednesday morning, according to local reports. A few others were in critical conditions.
Charlie Hebdo, based in Paris' 11th arrondissement, was firebombed in 2011, due to publishing a controversial series of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.

Paris in state of war ...
ReplyDeleteTerrorist attack leaves 12 people dead and seven wounded, four in a serious condition. The attack was perpetrated by gunmen in the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, Boulevard Richard-Lenoir in Paris (XI).
Two policemen are among the dead. Experts claim the two attackers were professionally trained and that the attack was well planned. They pulled up in the car, carried out the strike then swapped cars and sped off into the Paris traffic. Eye witnesses were quoted saying that they heard one of the attackers saying "We have avenged the honor of the Prophet". The men were reported to be wearing black hoods and were carrying Kalashnikov automatic weapons.
Charlie Hebdo had published satirical images of the Prophet Mohammed and anti-Islamic State cartoons. The day after the cartoons of Mohammed were published in November 2011, the offices were fire-bombed. The last Tweet on the account was a cartoon of Islamic State leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
French President François Hollande stated that the terrorist attack was one of "exceptional barbarity", denouncing the "cowardly matter" of the attack. A police hunt is in progress.
