Gun attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo kills 11 | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Gunmen have attacked the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 11 people and injuring 10, French officials say. | |
Witnesses spoke of sustained gunfire at the office as the attackers opened fire with assault rifles. | |
The satirical weekly has courted controversy in the past with its take on news and current affairs. | |
Its latest tweet was a cartoon of the Islamic State militant group leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. | |
An eyewitness, Benoit Bringer, told French TV channel Itele: "Two black-hooded men entered the building with Kalashnikovs. A few minutes later we heard lots of shots." | |
The men were then seen fleeing the building. | |
"It's carnage," French police official Luc Poignant told another French channel, BFMTV. | |
The magazine was fire-bombed in November 2011 a day after it carried a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad. |
