– Two journalists were stabbed in Paris on Friday near the former offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine, which was attacked in 2015 by Islamist militants, Reuters reports. Prime Minister Jean Castex said the main attacker had been arrested and that the lives of neither of the wounded was in danger. A second person was also in custody after the attack, in which witnesses said a meat cleaver or butcher’s knife had been used as a weapon. A local resident, who heard the attack, told Reuters there was a long, deathly shout from “a person who was screaming and screaming.” A neighbor said she saw blood on the ground and people pulling a wounded woman away into a building housing a news agency. Workers repairing the road told her “a dark-skinned man randomly hit a lady with a big butcher’s knife” in front of a mural that serves as a memorial to victims of the 2015 attack. A police source said the main suspect was 18, known to security services, born in Pakistan. A second source said a meat cleaver had been found on the floor near a metro station. The attack was carried out in what Castex said was a ‘symbolic place’ and coincided with the start this month of the trial of 14 alleged accomplices in the 2015 attack. Al-Qaeda, the militant Islamist group that claimed responsibility for the 2015 attack, threatened to attack Charlie Hebdo again after it re-published the cartoons this month.
