Charlie Hebdo cartoonist reveals terrorists threatened to murder her toddler unless she let them in
Daily Mail ^ | January 7, 2015 | Peter Allen

Corrine Rey and her daughter saw two other cartoonists being killed

They threatened her into giving them entry code for the office building

She says men 'who spoke perfect French' claimed to be Al Qaeda terrorists

Attackers were reportedly heard shouting: 'the Prophet has been avenged'

The masked men asked people's names before killing editor and cartoonist

'There were several corpses on the floor,' said office worker from building

He entered room right after attackers had gone to see 'blood everywhere'

A young mother and cartoonist who survived the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris today said she had let the suspected Al Qaeda killers into the magazine office.

Corrine Rey said she had returned from picking up her young daughter from a kindergarten when she was confronted by two heavily armed men wearing balaclavas.

'I had gone to pick up my daughter at day care, arriving in front of the magazine building, where two masked and armed men brutally threatened us,' said Ms Rey, who draws under the name 'Coco'.

'They said they wanted to go up to the offices, so I tapped in the code,' said Ms Rey, referring to the digi-code security system on the inter-phone.

Miss Rey and her daughter hid under a desk, from where they saw two other cartoonists being executed.

'They shot Wolinski and Cabu,' she said, 'It lasted five minutes. I had taken refuge under a desk.

She said the men 'spoke French perfectly' and 'claimed they were 'Al Qaeda terrorists'.

She didn’t trade anything. Those guys were going in with or without the code. She saved her baby.

You just keep telling yourself that....

At the age of 53, Muhamad the prophet of Islam married a 6 year old girl named Aisha. This alone proves Islam is a cult of lies cause it condones pedophilia

Agreed. I don’t blame her one bit.

All the condemnation belongs to the pigs who did this.

Really?

How about if the door was to a day-care center with 100 children and babies?

No, they had to stay in silent mode until the entered the office on the first floor and went upstairs to the editorial office.

The plan depended on not going loud before that.

Agree. She will have to live with that now. I am surprised they didn’t kill her and her daughter, too.

There's a reason why, historically, muslim conquerers killed the men and took the women as concubines...and it ain't for lack of cooter.

I think they didn’t kill her and her child as they know she is a bigger victim alive, and can tell the story and spread the terror

So their plan hinged on odd chance that someone was at the door who would let them in?

What if she had simply said NO?

The key here is the plan seems to have depended on a silent entry. They didn’t blast their way in, they needed to get in quietly and get upstairs to the editorial office.

If the lady had not put in the code, if they had started shooting on the street, it would have been a very different situation.

Yes, in all likelihood the lady and her child would have died at the door, still locked, the terrorists still on the street.

Israeli security guards commonly face a similar situation when they try to tackle a bomber before the bomber can get into a supermarket, for example.

ANYBODY who worked at a known terror target like Charlie Hebdo, especially those who knew the entry code, should have been better prepared for exactly this situation.

This building had been bombed before for publishing muslim cartoons etc. Why this woman would even have her daughter there defies belief imo.

Futher since the editor had his own personal security man and there had been many threats prior why would they have a woman at the door rather than security????

Foolish people who do not take ISlam seriously...who carry out exactly as they say they will.

My questions stands. You have already said you would trade the lives of 12+ coworkers for your life and the life of your child.

I’m curious, just how many innocents would you trade? My day-care center example stands.

So a mother who reacts to a imminent death threat to her child by acting to try to save the child is a coward in your book?
