Defiant Parisians snap up copies of latest Charlie Hebdo issue

For all the talk of defending the right to blaspheme Mohammed, the French can be extremely hypocritical when it comes to making fun of others.







Residents of this traumatized city stood in long lines to snap up copies of the latest issue of Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, defiantly affirming a commitment to freedom of speech a week after a terrorist attack on the newspaper’s offices left a dozen people dead and ignited days of violence and manhunts.
Intelligence officials say at least one of the Paris gunmen received training from an Al-Qaeda offshoot in Yemen. The Post's Greg Miller explains who they are, how they're connected to the Islamic State, and what happens next in Europe and the U.S. (Gillian Brockell/The Washington Post)
