Suspect in Paris stabbing said he wanted to attack Charlie Hebdo: Report

The man who apparently attacked two people with a meat cleaver in Paris on Friday told investigators that he wanted to target the weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, according to a report.

Seven people were detained after a man and a woman were attacked while standing outside the former offices of Charlie Hebdo, where 12 people were killed in 2015 after the magazine published cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad. A police source who spoke with Reuters said the attacker wanted to harm employees at the magazine.
