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.

it reminds me a little bit of what was done to Mike Carlton here over a cartoon, (based on something real)

but, no I don't read that publication, the muslim cartoons sounded pretty offensive so I'm guessing the Jewish ones were too.

no I don't really want to see them , thanks

Smart as well as a fanatical murdering barstool.

Or was an easy target to be set up by someone else.

It's a possibility I suppose but sometimes they actually leave stuff behind. Didn't that happen some time ago? a sim card?

Yes, in the Glasgow airport attack.  The sim card had previously been owned by Haneef, and that all led to the disgraceful treatment of Haneef in Australia.

Oh, yes, that is the one I was thinking of.

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

True.  Since the introduction of the internet and online media outlets, we hear about any terrorist attacks worldwide, quickly and in more detail than we ever did before.

I was at this same spot 3 days later. The explosive device was placed in a rubbish bin.

1980

The Oktoberfest terror attack was a terrorist attack with a right-wing radical background. On 26 September 1980, 13 people died and 211 were injured after the explosion of an improvised explosive device at the main entrance of the Oktoberfest in Munich, West Germany. The attack is considered to be one of the most severe acts of terrorism in post-war West Germany. The attack was attributed to the right-wing extremist and geology student Gundolf Köhler who was killed while placing the explosive device; however, doubts remain as to whether he acted alone.

My sympathies to the family and friends of the 12 killed in Paris.

i only suggested that so you can get a better

perspective on what they have been able

to publish with no legal consequences.

(the case you posted about is a bit different.)

the cartoons depicting jesus, popes, bishops

or whatever and naked women are pretty off 

but no doubt a lot of people find them funny.

not sure where the line should be drawn TBO.

 I disagree

Working Visa cancelled by Kevin Andrews (currently Minister of Defence in Abbott Govt)

2008 -

Dr Haneef was arrested last July in connection with terrorist attacks in Britain. When he was granted bail, Mr Andrews revoked his visa, citing secret information supplied by the Australian Federal Police.

This ensured Dr Haneef's continued incarceration until the case collapsed.

THE Government has threatened to upgrade a judicial inquiry established to investigate the Haneef affair to a full royal commission if former immigration minister Kevin Andrews refuses to co-operate fully.

Mr Andrews said yesterday that he would meet with and help the inquiry, but stopped short of committing himself to giving evidence in public.

"That will depend on the circumstances at the time," he said.

Attorney-General Robert McClelland announced that the inquiry — to be headed by former NSW supreme court judge John Clarke, QC — would investigate the controversial detention last year of Dr Mohamed Haneef and the cancellation of his Australian visa.

Shadow attorney-general George Brandis described the inquiry as a stunt, saying that Labor had access to the information it needed, now that it was in government. "This is an inappropriate politicisation of what should be an apolitical matter," he said. "This is a matter of national security."
