[Piling]

11 dead at the last update.

an 7 (Reuters) - At least 10 people were killed in a shooting at the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical newspaper firebombed in the past after publishing cartoons joking about Muslim leaders, French TV channel iTELE reported.

France Info radio also said police had confirmed a toll of 10 dead and five injured. Reuters had no immediate official confirmation of deaths.

The news channel quoted a witness as saying he saw the incident from a building nearby in the heart of the French capital.

"About a half an hour ago two black-hooded men entered the building with Kalashnikovs (guns)," Benoit Bringer told the station. "A few minutes later we heard lots of shots," he said, adding that the men were then seen fleeing the building.

A police official, Luc Poignant, said he was aware of one journalist dead and several injured, including three police officers.

"It's carnage," Poignant told BFM TV.

It was the last tweet of the newspaper :



The weapons were rocket and kalashinikov. The 2 killers fled in Paris and now French forces run after them.

Hot ambiance in Paris

This is absolutely horrendous - I hope your building is secure

If this happened in England there would be a terrible backlash

In England most people do not like Muslims - I imagine it is the same in France - things will be a lot worse now on

Jihadists praising Paris terror attack with the hashtag #ParisIsBurning on twitter.

Paris is burning could make reference to 2 movies : 1 about drag queens and the 2nd about Hitler's will to burn Paris when the Allies were coming in 1944.

I wonder which of these 2 references Daesh would prefer.

That's terrible : 4 of our most talented and famous caricaturists are dead. That's a huge hole in French Press and cartoons.

Now the highest level of terrorist alert is in paris and Ile de france. Bad time for Japanese tourists.

Charb, the director of Charlie Hebdo, killed by Jihadists today, wrote recently :

Kurds are defending all of us.

I am not Kurdish, I don't know a single word in Kurdish, I can't give the name of a Kurdish author. Kurdish culture is totally stranger for me. Wait ! Sometimes, I ate Kurdish…

Today I am a Kurd, I think in Kurdish, I speak Kurdish, I sing in Kurdish, I cry in Kurdish. The Kurds who are surrounded in Syria are not only Kurds, they are the Humanity facing darkness. They defend their own lives, families, land, but, willingly or not, they are the only shield against 'Islamic State'. They defend all of us, not against a fantasized Islam which Daesh terrorists do not represent, but against the most barbarous gangsterism. How the so-called Coalition against the slaughterers could be credible, while, for different reasons, many of its members shared with them (and some are still sharing) strategical, political, economical interests ? Against Death and Cynicism, today, stand the Kurds.

It seems as though these assassins are not just Muslims but also Islamic State supporters

I strongly expect this to have a negative affect on the situation in Germany - which is already fraught with anti Islamic feelings

I am certain it will cause even more dislike of Muslims in England - if people were allowed to say the truth about how they feel 99% of English people (including the black population who come predominately from Christian countries) would say they HATE Muslims

Muslims themselves are partly to blame because they generally live and work in an all Muslim environment and their woman are kept isolated from the non-Islamic community - the only things most English people know about Muslims put them in a negative light

Even people who use the local taxi company - have changed from saying how polite and helpful the drivers are - into saying they want English drivers. If you wonder why it is because many miles away in the Midlands some Muslims have been involved in grooming innocent young white girls and using them for sex - a major scandal which has tarnish all Muslims with the same brush

I am the ONLY white person I know who has Muslims friends

Where do Japanese tourists fit into this?

High level of alert means many check-point at the gate of Galerie Lafayette and Printemps stores, and museums, then long queues, then opening of bags etc.

Many French ppl have Muslim friends. We are not a segregated society, but extremists would like to encourage islamophobia.

But France is very very far from paranoiac fear of Muslims.

I doubt they will ever catch these killers - if anyone knows who they are would they be brave enough to inform on them NO not unless they have a death wish

Here most Muslims live in self imposed isolation - in recent years many Muslim areas in cities have become no-go areas for non-Muslims - the best Pakistani restaurants are in Pakistani areas

People fear what they do not know - if all they know about Muslims comes from the negative articles they see in the media it only increases that fear

I have read that they have already identified 2 of them and raided its house. I think they will caught soon, as was Mohammed Merah. The elite of French police and Safety forces track them. The BRI is specialized to track dangerous criminals.


But France has lost the elite of its cartoonists and satirists That's a shock. They were anti religion, anti military, pro feminist, ecologists, anti assholes, and assholes killed them by fear of their PENCILS.

Reims is the capitale of champagne wine. Weird shelter for Islamists. Or perhaps they want to kill also our best bottles ?
