French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanan suggested that the Paris attack, which resulted in the fall of two wounded in front of the former headquarters of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, was "an Islamic terrorist act," after the authorities arrested 7 people.
The minister told reporters that the attack took place "on the street that housed the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, and this is the approach taken by Islamic terrorists and, undoubtedly, it is a new, bloody attack on our country."
On the other hand, judicial sources confirmed the arrest of 7 people, including the main suspect who confessed to the actions attributed to him, while the judiciary continues to prosecute those suspected of involvement in the 2015 attacks that targeted the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo newspaper.
A man carrying a cleaver attacked and wounded two people after they went out to smoke outside a building in Paris where employees of Charlie Hebdo magazine five years ago were shot.
