Trial of Six Men Begins Linked to 2020 Attack on Charlie Hebdo

On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attack, six men face trial for their involvement in a 2020 attack on former employees of the satirical magazine. The main assailant, Zaheer Mahmood, 29, is charged with attempted murder, while five co-defendants are accused of criminal terrorist conspiracy. The attack, carried out with a cleaver, left two seriously injured and reignited memories of the original tragedy. The investigation revealed Mahmood’s motivations linked to the magazine’s publication of Prophet Muhammad caricatures, leading to his radicalization and the involvement of his associates.
