French terrorism authorities are investigating a double-stabbing outside the former Paris offices of a satirical newspaper where a dozen people were killed in 2015, and two suspects have been arrested in Friday's violence, authorities said.

France's counterterrorism prosecutor said authorities suspect a terrorist motive because of the place and timing of the stabbings: in front of the building where Charlie Hebdo was based until the Islamic extremist attack on its cartoonists and at a time when suspects in the 2015 attack are on trial across town.

French Prime Minister Jean Castex said the lives of the two wounded workers are not in danger. He offered the government's solidarity with their families and colleagues. The prime minister noted the "symbolic site" of the attack, "at the very moment where the trial into the atrocious acts against Charlie Hebdo is under way." He promised the government's "unfailing attachment to freedom of the press, and its determination to fight terrorism."

Witness Kader Alfa told The AP at the scene: "I saw a guy that was in his 30s or 40s with an axe in his hand who was walking behind a victim covered in blood."

Any religion that gets TRIGGERED when they deem that their magic fairy beliefs are insulted is not a relgion but rather a very dangerous and inhumane CULT.

I'll bet it was an elderly white woman.
