Charlie Hebdo one year on

One year ago today, Islamist gunmen burst into the offices of the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo, and killed 11 people, before shooting dead a policeman in the streets outside. Over the next two days, another five people would be killed in coordinated attacks, four of them during a siege at a Jewish supermarket in the east of Paris. Journalist Paul Moreira has an office close to where the Charlie Hebdo attack took place.
