When he carried out the attack, 29-year-old Zaheer Mahmood

wrongly believed the satirical newspaper was still based in the building, which was targeted by Islamists a decade ago for publishing cartoons lampooning the Prophet Muhammad.

In fact, Charlie Hebdo had moved in the wake of the storming of its offices by two al-Qaeda-linked masked button men, who killed 12 people including eight of the paper’s editorial staff. The killings in January 2015 shocked La Belle France and triggered a fierce debate about freedom of expression and religion.

Originally from rural Pakistain, Mahmood arrived in La Belle France illegally in the summer of 2019. The court heard how Mahmood was influenced by radical Pak preacher Khadim Hussain Rizvi, who had called for the beheading of blasphemers.
Khadim Rizvi, who died in 2020, was the Punjabi founder of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan party, which campaigned on the death penalty for blasphemers, the establishment of Sharia law, and calling out huge mobs to protest about such things.
Mahmood was convicted of attempted murder and terrorist conspiracy and he will be banned from La Belle France when his sentence is served.
