Kerry rationalizes Charlie Hebdo attacks
- 8 years ago
US Secretary of State John Kerry rationalized the Charlie Hebdo and HyperCacher shooting attacks on a Paris magazine and Jewish supermarket, claiming that there was a "legitimacy not a legitimacy, but a rationale" behind the bloodshed. "There's something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo , and I think everybody would feel that," Kerry stated in the US Embassy in Paris, CBS News reported late Tuesday. In January, three jihadists gunned down 16 people in the satirical magazine's offices and at the Jewish supermarket in two days targeting the former for publishing cartoons deemed "offensive against Islam" and the latter for being Jewish.
