On 25 September 2020, two people were injured in a stabbing outside the former headquarters of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. The building had previously been the site of an Islamic terrorist attack in 2015. The French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin considered this to be "clearly an act of Islamist terrorism." A man from Pakistan, suspected of carrying out the attacks, was arrested near the scene. He was later identified as Zaheer Hassan Mehmood. Six other suspects were subsequently arrested in Paris in connection with the attack. They were convicted and sentenced to prison terms reaching up to 30 years in 2025.
