The news of the events on Friday near the former premises of Charlie Hebdo in the XIth, where two people were injured in the


At the trial of the January 2015 attacks at the Paris judicial court, for a little over two hours, a police officer from the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) retraces for the special assize court the surveillance and investigation of Saïd and Chérif Kouachi and Amédy Coulibaly, the perpetrators of the killings that killed 17 people more than five years ago.

It is ten minutes to twelve this Friday, September 25.

Journalists' phones vibrate in the courtroom and the broadcast rooms: an attack took place on rue Nicolas-Appert in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, there are wounded.

This very street which has been mentioned dozens of times in the courtroom since the beginning of September: it is there, at 10, that the former premises of "Charlie Hebdo" were located.

There the Kouachi brothers began their murderous journey in the capital.

It is astonishment and the president of the Assize Court, without knowing why, suspends the hearing for a few minutes.

What to feed the rumors: has he suspended because of the attack?

Will the trial be able to continue?

"There is only one word, it's horror"

"Did you see there was an attack in the XI?"

“In the corridors of the judicial court, the news is catching on.

The phones are glued to the ears and screwed to the hands of journalists contacted by their editorial staff.

But the hearing finally resumes.

As if nothing had happened, the court does not evoke the events.

The DGSI investigator finishes his testimony.

At the meridian break, some journalists demanded a reaction from Marika Bret, HR Director of the satirical weekly.

But Charb's friend prefers not to face a camera right now.

Behind her mask and surrounded by her security officers, this dark-haired woman with piercing eyes says she is "devastated, capsized".

“My heart is upside down, there are still victims.

There's only one word, it's horror.

The one who says she makes "so much effort" to be present at the trial, because she needs "to hear, to understand", asks wearily: "How far will it go?

"

"The terrorists had to score a point"

Between two doors, the lawyer Eric Barbolosi, civil party in this lawsuit, tells us to be little surprised by this new attack which occurs "in a symbolic place, during a symbolic period".

"With the republication of the cartoons, the holding of the trial, the terrorists had to score a point", comments the one who defends the interests of Jérémy G., colleague of Frédéric Boisseau, the very first victim of the Kouachi brothers.

“They blindly strike innocent victims to prove that they still have the ability to strike.

"

Justice, she refused to be influenced by the events of Friday and continued the debates, according to the planned program.
