14 Terror Attack Suspects on Trial in Paris

VOA News

   Fourteen alleged associates of two jihadist terrorists went on trial
   Wednesday in Paris for allegedly helping them carry out deadly attacks
   in 2015, including one on the offices of French satirical magazine
   Charlie Hebdo.

   The attack on the magazine's offices was the first in a series of
   incidents over three days in January 2015, marking the beginning of a
   surge in violence by Islamic State in Europe. Seventeen people were
   killed.

   Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi went on a rampage in the magazine's
   offices on January 7, shooting 12 people to death in the name of
   al-Qaida before fleeing. The magazine had published caricatures of the
   Prophet Muhammad years before.
