"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.
I meant in Australia, and yes the Boston bombing was appalling, there is no end to their cowardly attacks all over the world.
How did we invite the attacks at Port Arthur, Hoddle Street, Strathfield Plaza, Russell Street, etc.?
Each beat the death tally of the muslim attackers.
Has anyone heard what the story is with the third person, the one who handed himself in? There are reports that he was in school at the time and handed himself in because his name was getting broadcast as one of the murderers.

That is all I heard so far glee, that the boy was in class at the time and other students vouched for him. They would want to hear that from the teacher as well I would think.
Latest developments on the 2 brothers:
