France will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the deadly Charlie Hebdo attacks on Tuesday, January 7th. President Macron and Paris Mayor Hidalgo will participate in the ceremonies.
The attacks, which occurred on January 7, 2015, claimed the lives of 12 people. Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi stormed the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo, murdering four cartoonists. A Muslim police officer was also killed in the attack.
Two days later, the brothers were fatally shot by police near Charles-de-Gaulle airport. Simultaneously, Amedy Coulibaly, a former associate of Cherif Kouachi, killed four Jewish hostages at a Paris supermarket. Coulibaly, who was also killed by police, had shot and killed a policewoman the day before.
The anniversary events underscore the profound impact of these attacks on France and the global community. The Independent continues to cover the latest news on such important events.
