The attack appears to have been executed by hardened and well-trained fighters who may have received instructions at a training facility overseas, or locally in France. The attackers may also be ex-military.
The professionalism of the two attackers is seen in a brief video that shows the execution of one of the two French policemen on the street outside of Charlie Hebdo's headquarters [the graphic video is reproduced below]. The video was captured by witnesses at the scene of the attack and was published on Liveleak.
The two attackers move in side-by-side formation and fire deliberately while shooting at a French police officer who is four to five car lengths away. After the officer is shot and downed, the two gunmen move quickly towards the policemen. One shoots and executes the officer in stride. Both men move past the body, peer up the street for additional targets, then peel off and move back to the black car and leave the scene of the attack.
The tactic of using heavily armed gunmen to attack well defended military targets or lightly defended civilian targets is commonly used by jihadist groups, including al Qaeda, the Islamic State, the Taliban, and a host of allies in the war-torn countries of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Nigeria. But jihadist groups have also executed such attacks on civilians outside of war zones, including in Mumbai, India in 2008 and Nairobi, Kenya in 2013.

Tight shot group on Police windshield evidence of good gun control. Full auto group size of dinner plate.
I suspect they were some who went to fight with ISIS, got some training and returned home to France to attack on behalf of ISIS.
Not unlike the terrorists jorge busho has welcomed into America, no doubt. jeb will do likewise if he can. Zero’s obviously with that program.
As Obama said, the future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam ... these trained killers were just carrying out Obama’s wishes ...
The magazine was actually sending arms to the Zionist state. That’s the only reason Mohammedans ever attack any living soul.
..waiting for Obama to come out and say they were a bunch of “lone wolves” wanting to commit workplace violence..
It’s just a woke place event as Obama call it.
Now we get to see the media display their professional training in spin jobs.
Muzzies migrated into the US long before Jorge was prez and their daily growth in numbers will continue always because they are the ROP.
And don’t you forget it!
Remember to kiss a leftwing socialist - we have them to thank for all of this. Isn’t diversity wonderful?
It’s a good thing that gun laws in France protect people from this kind of violence.
The French need to take a page from the Israelis. Hunt the terrorists down and kill them and their families. Make sure it looks non related. SSS.
Good thing we have secure borders here. /sarc
Didn’t look very professional at all from my point of view. They were running in circles for crying out loud. Minimal amount of weapons training and possibly some small amount of tactical movement trading, but professional... Hardly.
‘... executed by hardened and well-trained fighters who may have received instructions at a training facility overseas, or locally in France. ‘
Thats an interesting stmt esp the last part. How could they have been trained in France given the stringent gun control laws???? I bet there are others too that prohibit para-mil training.
But they're all "lone wolves" right?
/sarcasm
From the video I saw, it seemed more like they sent the Jay-vee team.
So, how professional do you have to be to shoot a bunch of unarmed people?
