(Radio France) Ten years after the 2015 terrorist attacks on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine, the trial of the man who was behind an attack outside the magazine’s former offices in 2020 opened at a special juvenile court in Paris Monday.
Zaheer Mahmood thought he was attacking Charlie Hebdo employees, unaware that the magazine had moved after the 2015 attack.
Accused of attempted terrorist murder and conspiracy for his wounding of two people with a [m]eat cleaver, Mahmood goes on trial Monday, along with five relatives who are suspected accomplices.
The trial is being held by a special juvenile court as three of the defendants were minors at the time of the attack, on 25 September 2020, in the midst of the trial for the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks.
