Paris Attack – level 1
30-09-2020 15:00
A man attacks people in Paris, France. The man is 18 years old. He comes from Pakistan. He attacks four people with a meat cleaver. Two people have serious injuries.
Police arrest six other people. Police also find a strange bag. They close the area. Police and cars must not go in the area.
The attack happens near the former offices of Charlie Hebdo. Charlie Hebdo is a magazine. It is full of cartoons and funny articles about politics. However, not all people like the jokes.
In 2015, Islamic terrorists kill 12 journalists from Charlie Hebdo. Now, a trial is happening with people who help the terrorists. Many people and media are interested in the trial.
Difficult words: meat cleaver (a big tool that butchers use to cut meat), former (past), cartoon (a funny drawing).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
