No terrorist group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. However, an Islamic State militant praised the attack on the French satirical magazine on Wednesday.

"The lions of Islam have avenged our Prophet," Abu Mussab, who fights for IS insurgents in Syria, told Reuters via internet connection. "These are our lions. It's the first drops – more will follow," he said, speaking via an internet connection from Syria. He added that he and his fellow fighters are happy about the incident.

Mussab said he did not know the gunmen who carried out the attack, but added "they are on the path of the emir [IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi]....and our Sheikh Osama (bin Laden)."

Reports suggest that the cartoons portraying Prophet Mohammed published earlier by the satirical paper were the reason for the attack. The gunmen reportedly called out the victims by name, shouting: “We have avenged the prophet."

The religion of peace at it again.

Twice ????

As in twice in Australia (Melbourne and Sydney) or twice world wide - Sydney and Paris ?

I think you are under counting.

Boston bombing can be added.

Yes DDB, I agree.  Many editors and various papers never call these kind of attacks what they really are.  Not sure why, most likely something to do with the ridiculous notion of not wanting to "offend" certain cultures/religions, but the truth always is best, they are indeed, sub species terrorists.

What else would it be called?

Terrorist

1.

a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism.

2.

a person who terrorizes or frightens others.

i think ddb is trying to make a point here -

the actions are not being labelled as those

of a "madman".  

---

and my point is, 3 madmen, called terrorists....................and an act of terrorism..... not exactly a normal reaction to something they don't like?

They French have rarely been known to mince their words nor should they

We have had many terrorist attacks in Australia, not just 2, as far back as 100 years ago.

Awful pictures, but agree they shouldnt be killed for them. Having said that, they should probably have been expecting something like this to happen and had higher security.

The cartoons are not that unlike what you see drawn about politicians here in Australia, and probably around the world, but they were targeting a much more dangerous group.

They target anyone and everyone. Check out the father, son and holy ghost.

It has happened here twice so far and yet somehow people are saying we somehow invited it because of our western democracy and lifestyle.

Who said any such thing?

BTW. among the first to condemn this act was the muslim community in France.
