Liberty under attack in Paris

Last night, a Paris-based satirical magazine called Charlie Hebdo was the site of a terrorist attack, resulting in the murder of 12 people, including two police officers, with many others injured. Three gunmen entered the office building with machine guns and possibly a grenade launcher. The suspects fled the scene before more police could arrive.

Shockingly, a crude video posted on social media earlier today shows one gunman executing an injured police officer who was laying on the ground. The gunman can be heard chanting the Arabic phrase “Allahu Akbar.” AFP reports that the gunmen shouted “we have avenged the prophet.”
