The perpetrators of the horrific hit were two or three Islamists, who, according to eyewitnesses, shouted “Allah is great” and “the prophet took revenge”.
Among the dead are four cartoonists of the newspaper, including the internationally renowned Charb and Cabu, which are amongst the best cartoonists in France. Stephane Charbonnier, or “Charb” was the director of “Charlie Hebdo”.
Indeed, reports indicated that the perpetrators were in possession of a list of names of journalists they wanted to exterminate!
The video clearly depicts the two men, bearing AK-47s, shooting a police officer on his ‘beat’ from afar. After the police officer is down, one man covers the approach down the road, while the other runs up to the pleading, shot officer and puts a bullet in the man’s head with nonchalance and obvious lack of compassion.
