Three suspects have been arrested in Paris following a deadly attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo Weekly which left 12 people dead.
The suspects have been identified as brothers Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, who are both French nationals in their early 30s, and 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad.
A spokesman for the French police told the Guardian journalist, Kim Willsher in Paris that authorities have arrested the three suspects.
The men attacked staff of the satirical newspaper early on Wednesday, January 7, armed with Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers.
Editor Stéphane Charbonnier and colleagues Jean Cabut, Georges Wolinski, Bernard Verlhac, and Bernard Maris are among those believed to have died in the attack.

The world must rise in unity and confront the very evil that these jihadist represent. How do you ever justify killing and destruction all in the name of someone poking fun at your god? Anyone that has ever listen to these islamist preach will be amazed at the way they debase other religion and their God or god. They go as far as calling non islamist infidels and kufars and hell is not let loose. People had poked fun and say derogatory words at Jesus in uncountable times yet Christains are not bombing nor beheading others. The simple logic is that if the so called allah is as powerful as islamist claim, why not fight for himself? I cant fight for my God because He is powerful and He is fighting my battle

First why would some one disrespect another person's religion all in the name of Freedom of Speech?
The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting which occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and 6 adult staff members before killing his mother and himself.
And the Virginia tech massacre which was also a school shooting that took place on April 16 2007, when a boy shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in two separate attacks and also the 2012 Aurora shooting in which 12 people and 70 others got injured why they didn't blame it on religion ? because they weren't Muslims ??
Don't judge a man because of his religion or color , all in the name of world politics , nuclear power, crude oil, military base, millions of life has been lost in middle east , homes have been destroyed ? lots of them are all now refugees in different places in the world ? and most go into drugs thinking the pain will go away?
Islam is a peaceful religion and i wouldn't regret if tomorrow i convert to be one .
This is nothing different from the image Nollywood creates, every Hausa man in Nollywood Movies is a gate man named Musa, and every Housemaid is one uneducated Akpan or Efiong from Calabar, and every Business man into Ritual is one Igbo Man, and every loud mouth person is Yoruba. is that the way that would have been ?
Chiboi123, I wonder why you are justifying this heinous crime? You are commenting here simply because of freedom of speech that you are enjoying while condemning others for expressing their right to freedom of speech too. You are nothing but an hypocrite. Everyone has equal right to express their opininion regardsless of their religion and for you to compare recent happenings in the world to nollywood characters tells one the level of your understanding of the topic you are trying to comment on

What a derogatory remark to the memories of the Twelve people that lost their lives today.. because of Mohammed who had been dead for a 1300 years or so..

Can you tell me which off the school shooters you mentioned, after or before perpetrating these crimes yelled JESUS IS LORD or JESUS HAS BEEN AVENGED or JEHOVAH IS TO BE GLORIFIED or THE BOOK OF MATTEW OR A VERSE IN THE BIBLE SENT ME TO KILL THESE SCHOOL KIDS?

This is a most heart wrenching tragedy. We are JUST seven days into the new year and look at what has happened. I think it time we ALL carry guns to DEFEND ourselves against these RAMPAGING Islamic extremists. If these 12 murdered souls had been armed I am sure the story would be different. Killing and justifying your religion as the EXCUSE for your actions is terrible.This incident in France has opened WIDER the door for the FAR RIGHT party in France to come into power and for RACIST thugs to start their harassment of ALL foreigners. NO foreigner LIVING in France will be safe.
If certain PEOPLE do not like freedom of speech in one country - stay in your HOME country or go to a place that LIVES your lifestyle. We ALL have places our family originated from.
And I think the COMPARISON BETWEEN the ADAM LANZA killings, the VIRGINIA MASSACRE and the 2012 AURORA is a little over the top. At NO time did the murderer Adam Lanza etc SHOUT out they were killing in the NAME of Jesus Christ. No time did they SHOUT out praise the Lord when committing murder. Neither did they ATTEND EXTREME CHRISTIAN MILITARY CAMPS. Yes we have the Lords Resistant Army in Uganda, a Christian fundamentalist group (with a belief in African mysticism) who are slaughtering people (men, women and children) but then go on to claim they WANT TO RULE their nation by the 10 commandments. That's hypocritical - one of the 10 commandments says "thou shalt not kill." Another group of nut cases. You just have to switch on the TV, listen to your radio or open a newspaper to see the atrocities going on around the Muslim world - including Nigeria. And in many instances it is acceptable by some. Some countries CELEBRATED the 9/11 incident in USA . In Nigeria on that day SWEETS were shared in support of the 9/11 tragedy in some Northern states IN Nigeria. And now we have OUR own scourge - -the Boko Haram.
Yes we ALL know the preachings - Islam is a peaceful religion - but some Muslims are trying to show us it is not and they are WINNING IN CONVINCING US THAT IT IS NOT A PEACEFUL RELIGION. They EVEN KILL their OWN. What is more frightening is that these Islamic extremists are represented by ALL skin colours. Who thought that one day a WHITE widow would join the CLUB AND BECOME ONE OF the MOST WANTED in the WORLD. Astonishing!
People who use religion to cause mayhem are the worst type and most dangerous criminals. It can ONLY get worse and it WILL.
MAY THE SOULS OF THE DEPARTED FIND REST.
