    French President Francois Hollande on Thursday (September 29) unveiled a plaque at a printing house in Dammartin-en-Goele, north of Paris, where the Charlie Hebdo attackers went in hiding before they were killed after a police siege.
    Charlie Hebdo, known for its satirical covers ridiculing political and religious leaders, lost many of its top editorial staff when two Islamist militants broke into an editorial meeting on January 7, 2015 and fired bullets at them.
    Another militant murdered a policewoman the next day, took hostages at the HyperCacher supermarket on January 9, 2015 and killed four of them before police shot him dead.
    Police cornered the escaped Charlie Hebdo gunmen, brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, in the printing house and killed them that same afternoon.
    The attacks prompted a worldwide solidarity movement, with the "Je Suis Charlie" (I am Charlie) slogan going viral on social media.
