And what does one say of French policing? Charlie Hebdo’s offices were firebombed in November 2011. That was when they came out with an issue inviting Prophet Muhammad to edit it. There were threats galore. The Danish cartoons of Muhammad in the Newspaper Jyllands–Posten, bringing death to hundreds in 2006, were reprinted by Charlie Hebdo. How did they let those brothers have a free run of Paris? Both Said and Cherif Kouachi had been to Yemen, and got training from Al Qaeda. Cherif was implicated in a jehad-related case in 2008. The brothers were on British and American watch lists. The other culprit Amedi Coulibaly-- a 32-year-old convert, who later stormed a kosher grocery in Porte de Vincennew in eastern Paris, killing four Jew hostages -- was implicated in a 1995 bombing of a subway station in France and jailed for five years. His wife, Boumediene, now on the run, went and practised shooting with a crossbow somewhere in central France. Quite a set up, this!
