Man jailed for meat cleaver attack outside former office

A 30 -year -old man was imprisoned for trying to kill two people with the flesh of meat outside the former Paris offices in Charlie Hebdo in 2020.

Zuhair Mahmoud, 29, attacked Pakistan and wounded badly employees of the First News Agency, days after the republishing cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.

Charlie Hebdo was not aware of the transfer of offices to a secret site after 12 people were killed in a gun attacking by al -Qaeda in the aftermath of the original publication of cartoon in 2015.

Mahmoud was convicted of trying to kill and conspire terrorist. It will be banned from France when his penalty is presented.

Five other Pakistani men were imprisoned, some of whom were less than 18 years old at the time of their crimes, for a period ranging from three and 12 years for terrorist conspiracy to support Mahmoud.

The trial was held in the Paris Court in Paris for their ages.

The court heard that Mahmoud planned his attack after Charlie Hebdo republished the caricature of the Prophet in September 2020 to celebrate the opening of the trial of some of the 2015 massacre.

The court was told that Mahmoud was influenced by the extremist Pakistani views, Kherim Hussein Rizfi, who urged him to “take revenge on the Prophet.”

Armed with the lamp of meat, he arrived at the previous Hebdo offices in the eleventh circle of the French capital, attacked and wounded at the Lignes Lignes news agency, which includes nearby offices.

Witnesses described at that time how they saw their colleagues, “stained with blood, and a man chased them with a scythe.”

His victims, a woman named Helen, 32, and a 37 -year -old man, were present in power but did not comment on her results.

None of them accepted Mahmoud’s appeals to forgiveness.

“He broke something inside me,” said 37 -year -old, as he said to the long rehabilitation court.

Mahmoud illegally arrived in France in 2017, although he initially claimed his arrival in 2019.

Al -Dafour’s lawyer, Mahmoud, Alberic de Jayardon, said that his client lived and worked with the Pakistanis and felt separated from France.

Mr. Jayardon added: “He does not speak French, lives with the Pakistanis, and works for the Pakistanis.” “In his head he did not leave Pakistan.”
