History Today: How the Charlie Hebdo attack unfolded on January 7, 2015

Firstpost  

On January 7, 2015, France was stunned when two armed men stormed the offices of magazine, Charlie Hebdo, and killed numerous people. Here’s what else occurred on that day in history A man holds a pen with a sign during a vigil, for the victims of a shooting by gunmen at the offices of weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, at the French consulate in Quebec City. According to records, the weather was spoken of with Gifford asking Murray, “How’s the weather over in London?” Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge government is overthrown Back in 1979, on this fateful day, Vietnamese troops seized the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, toppling the brutal regime of Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge. Sentenced to life imprisonment by a “people’s tribunal,” Pol Pot later declared in an interview, “My conscience is clear.” Shooting at Charlie Hebdo office On January 7, 2015, France saw one of the most deadliest attacks on its soil — the shooting at the Charlie Hebdo office. At 11.30 am local time, on that day, a black Citroen C3 drove up to the Charlie Hebdo building in Rue Nicolas-Appert with two masked gunmen — now identified as brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi —, dressed in black and armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles, entered the office and fired at the editor’s police bodyguard, Franck Brinsolaro, before asking for editor Stephane Charbonnier, known as Charb, and other four cartoonists by name and killing them, along with three other editorial staff and a guest attending the meeting.
