In pictures: attack at the Charlie Hebdo office

Attack at the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris

According to the Reuters, 12 people have been killed, including two police officers, when two masked gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons at the Paris office of a satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo. The publication has previously courted controversy for its caricatures of Prophet Muhammad and has had its offices fire-bombed in November 2011. French President Francois Hollande was quoted by the BBC as saying that this was a terrorist attack "of exceptional barbarity."
