We heard bursts and explosions. Then very quickly the door was opened
and a man came in. He was tall and dressed in black, he looked like a
policeman. But he was holding a kalashnikov, or something like that,
something heavy and big, like a weapon of war. He opened fire, he shot
for a long a time. And then a big silence. I thought he had killed them
all. He went back and I suddenly heard him talking in french with
someone else. I understood there were at least two men, but I couldnt
see the other one, I never saw him. I heard them say something to a
woman, then I understood that someone else was alive. They said: We
dont kill women, or something like that.

AHE CHARLIE HEBDOS NEWSROOM, a

satirical magazine from Paris, was attacked

SATISH ACHARYA

at 11:20 am on january 7, 2015. Two men, with

black ski-mask, war uniform, AK-47 Kalashnikov

and pump-action gun, entered in the magazines building. A

mailman was present at the moment: I was inside the building,
in the hallway. I saw two men with ski masks and weapons,
they were looking for the editors office. They were shooting
warning shots to scare us. They wanted to know where the

entrance was, but I was able to run away. Terrorists forced a

janitor to tell them that the newsroom was at second floor. Then
they didnt need him anymore, so they killed him. Hes the first
victim of the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

The two armed men go upstairs to the second floor,

they run into illustrator Corinne Rey Coco: I had just gone to
kindergarten to pick up my daughter. I was in front of the door
with her, two armed and hooded men brutally threatened us.
They wanted to enter and go upstairs. I opened the door with
the code she told. At the time, was happening the meeting with
the staff. It was not an haphazard time. Were sitting around the
table: director Stephane Charbonnier, Charb, his bodyguard
Franck Brinsolare, who had being protecting Charb since 2006,
Georges Wolinski, Jean Cabut alias Cabu Bernard Maris alias
Tignous, Philippe Honor, the economist and columnist Bernard
Maris, the proofreader Moustapha Ourrad. Were also present Elsa
Cayat, psychologist and journalist, and Michel Renaud, former

Charlie Hebdo
Satirical Magazine
foundend in 1970, in Paris.
On 2011, the newsroom was
attacked with a molotv bomb
for the issue Sharia Hebdo

counselor of Clermonts mayor. Within the editorial staff, the

directors bodyguard was the first one who died. They killed him
with many gunshots. He didnt have time to react. Right after him,
it was Charbs turn. He was the main objective. The terrorists
maybe asked the journalists to tell their names, so they could be
sure: they had their targets. They shot at Wolinski and Cabu. It
lasted for five minutes. I was hiding under the table. They spoke
perfectly french: they announced they belonged to Al Qaeda
- Coco describes.

They achieved their target, so the terrorists went out in

the street. They ran towards a black Citroen, where a third man
was waiting for them, ready to run away. In this same building
are located the offices of the agency Premieres Lignes, and the
journalists who worked there were hiding on the roof. Using their
smartphones, they filmed the attackers in the street, who were
running, shooting and screaming Allah Akbar!.
The terrorists ran away with the car, driving down Boulevard
Richard Lenoir and All Verte, where they ran into a police car.
They opened fire and the police reacted. To escape, the attackers
made a U-turn, but a few moments later they ran into another

police car. They opened fire on this too. Shouting Allah Akbar,
were just getting in the car, but a police officer riding a bike was
getting closer. They shot him, and he fell down on the ground.
One of the two murderers walks to him. The wounded police man
isnt moving. He turns slightly and lifts an arm, to protect himself
or to plead for his life. He is gunned down with a shot on his head.
His name was Ahmed Merabet, 42 years old, he worked at the
police station, in the XI arrondissement in Paris.

MMARTIN, FRANCE. Brothers Kouachi, Said

and Cherif, responsible for the massacre,
barricaded themselves in a plant of a firm. This
is located in a small village with 8 thousand

citizens, 40 km to the north-east of Paris. Theyve been killed

by the special forces raid. A man inside the building, was
hiding inside a large carton. He was the one who called the

police and informed about the location of two terrorists.

N PARIS. The officers burst into the jewish

supermarket, where Amedy Coulibaly had
barricaded himself. Coulibaly had killed a
police woman in Montrouge yesterday, and today

he kidnapped six people inside the shop, including a six

months-old baby. He was killed. During the special forces
procedure, four hostages were killed and four police officers
were wounded. Hayat Boumeddiene, his accomplice, 25 years old,
probably escaped from France before the attack at Charlie
Hebdo.

MILIONS PEOPLE. According to Le Monde, at

least 2 million people marched from place de
la Rpublique to place de la Nation during the
afternoon. The organizers said that 1,3-1,5

million people would have been there. According to the officers

of the french government, quoted by Associated Press, this has
been the greatest demonstration in the history of France.
