Four Pakistani youths, aged between 17 and 21, have been arrested on charges of aiding and abetting an attack outside the old office of the controversial French weekly Charlie Hebdo three months ago. In between.
Four suspects have been arrested in front of the old office of Charlie Hebdo, a popular French weekly magazine that has provoked Muslims around the world over the publication of blasphemous cartoons, according to details. The detainees are said to be between 17 and 21 years of age. The detainees are suspected to have been aware of a knife attack planned by Pakistani youth Zaheer Hassan Mahmood at the same place three months ago. Police have arrested the four youths and shifted them to an unknown location for further investigation.
Zaheer Hassan Mahmood, an 18-year-old man of Pakistani descent who attacked journalists in front of Charlie Hebdo's old office three months ago, admitted the attack after his arrest, saying it was because of the republishing of blasphemous sketches in Charlie Hebdo. However, the security agencies are busy investigating whether it was an individual act of the accused or a terrorist organization was working behind it. The investigation also revealed that the accused Zaheer Hassan Mahmood was a minor on fake documents. He arrived in France after the show and was inspired by the teachings of Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi. Police have already arrested seven people in the case, but four more have been arrested.
