French satirical magazine targeted in terrorist attack.

12 people have been killed in a shooting at the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Two men armed with Kalashnikovs entered the building at around 11:30 local time and opened fire.

Charlie Hebdo journalists who were at the scene have said they must have known the magazine held a weekly editorial meeting at that time - and they were looking for the newspaper's journalists by name.

Charlie Hebdo is a satirical newspaper that frequently takes aim at targets ranging from Muslims to the far right - as Elena Casas explains.
