Final exam part three. Paris attack

On Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2015 there was an attack on the newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France that left 12 people dead. Charlie Hebdo is not unfamiliar with threats. It has been attacked before and receives threats daily. Charlie Hebdo is a magazine that publishes some dark humor covers that can depict religious leaders in unflattering lights. French police identified Cherif Kouachi, left, and his brother Said Kouachi, along with 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, as suspect in shooting.

In memory of those lost in the attack, foreign leaders, arm in arm, led french citizens in a march through Paris on January 11th. Paris has become more united in this tragedy and I would feel safe to go to Paris. Everyone is on high alert and with this a specific attack I would feel safe.
