Via Times of Israel:

[G]unmen shouting Islamist slogans stormed the offices of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris, armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and a grenade launcher.

Hours after the shooting, an Islamic State fighter praised the assault, asserting that the attack had come as revenge for insults against Islam, according to Reuters.

“The lions of Islam have avenged our Prophet,” Abu Mussab, a Syrian who fights with the Islamic State, told Reuters.

“These are our lions. It’s the first drops — more will follow… let these crusaders be scared because they should be,” he said, adding that the gunmen who carried out the attack were “on the path of the emir …. and our Sheikh Osama [bin Laden].”
