Insinuating credit for the attack in pearce but not fully claiming responsibility. It does appear the group timed this claim of responsibility and the release of the video for the publication of this new issue of Charlie Hebdo. In the video message released today, they said that the paris attack on Charlie Hebdo was vengeance for the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad. In the new edition of the magazine released today, the cover is another cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad. And does it seem like these claims are credible . How strong is the intelligence here . Well, the video released today was released by the official media arm of aqap. So were pretty certain its directly from them. And in the video, they took responsibility for the kouachi brothers part of the attack but not the other attacker from the supermarket. Tell me more about that. Well the video said it was basically a gift from allah, a gift from god that the attacks coincided. We do know supermarket attacker amedy coulibaly, was linked closely to the kouachi brothers. As the aqap video said itself it was a lucky coincidence for them but a highly unfortunate cowince dense for everyone else. Just pulling back to how significant this is, this is actually the first time aqap has launched an attack if this link ends up being true on western soil. Is that accurate . Well intelligence officials have thought for a long time that aqap was the Al Qaeda Branch most likely to launch an attack in the west. There was a failed plot in 2009 the socalled underwear bomber plot, where a man tried and failed to detonate explosives in his underwear on an airliner. A year later, there was another foiled plot to the put bombs in printer cartridges and detonate those on board an airliner. Thank you so much for keeping us updated on that. Really appreciate it. I want to turn back to the frenzy here over the new issue of Charlie Hebdo. An issue that the group behind it is calling the survivors issue. That shellshocked group holed up in an office just around the corner from here after an exhausting week emotionally and practically as they tried to make this issue something that would stand for their ideals in wake of this attack. Lines around the block all over city today. People desperate to get an issue, and not many left in stock. Were hearing now that the usual circulation of 60,000 has been upped not just to 3 million that are already on stands today but 5 million. The reaction has been followed throughout the day by ron allen. What has the feel been like as People Struggle to get their issues, even as weve had a hard time coming by . Got one. Ive been reading it all day with our french colleagues. Its quite something. I think most people who want this are drawn to the novelty of it. Its the most soughtafter mag in the world, obviously. 16 pages. Its at times very high brow. Its edgy. Its hard to compare it to anything in the states. Its humor, its arrogant its irreverent, its all those things. It is deeply french was my impression. Yeah, some of the humor is cultural. One of the jokes you might get is a terrorist who shows up in an airport trying to check in for a flight and you see his bags bulging with guns and the person at the counter says theres no seats available. He says okay ill just hijack a plane. One of the less comprehensible planes is theres one comic towards the back in which they say our pens are sharper than you are, and theres an obscene word that means about three different obscene things in the french language. Thats what this magazine has been. This is what they say and have been saying theyre going to continue to be. Its a real act of defiance. Of course, the coverage which were not showing, with picture of muhammad and were going to have a very frank conversation about some of the criticism of those policies not just from nbc but many other western organizations later in the show. Thats the nub of it. Thats what most people are drawn to want to see and understand. That i think, is what Charlie Hebdo is trying to show the world, that we wont be cowed down. Well keep doing what were doing. Were not going to back down. Incidentally as you know there are many other News Organizations and newspapers in this country that are also facing threats. Thats why theres such heavy security around everywhere in the journalism space. And theyre not talking a lot about it because they dont want to draw attention to themselves. Thats another reason that this is still ongoing. Its another reason why there are 10,000 troops in the streets. As people digest this and kick it around and try and find a copy, i imagine the 2 million other are going to be printed are going to go fast too. Theyre being auctioned on ebay for thousands of dollars. Theres some value in it. Its just an interesting phenomenon. Its fascinating how this 30,000circulation magazine became the of course theres a big spread about the several Million People out in the streets. There are jabs at politicians. Again, its mostly about making fun of terrorists and how stupid they are and how essentially what Charlie Hebdo has always stood for. Ron allen, thank you so much for that. Well be checking in with you throughout this story. We are also just getting some new updates over the wire. Secretary john kerry set to arrive here already on a trip will now be meeting with president hollande. Theres been a Huge International conversation about u. S. Representation at the marches last week. Were watching closely to see what comes out of this john kerry trip. I have to say anecdotally, the conversations weve been having here and the conversations specifically weve had with Charlie Hebdo staffers have not reflected a lot of criticism of the u. S. They seem to feel that the u. S. Is in solidarity. Of course, thats not the only International Reaction were watching. The world has watched the release of this new issue. Our Ayman Mohyeldin is in tel aviv and has been following a lot of the different facets very varied reactions in many places around the world. Ayman, what can you tell us about how the world is looking at this new cover . Hey, ronan. Yeah, well with the release of that cover came that question as to whether or not News Organizations and who, in fact would be willing to publish it. We understand the magazine has been published in 16 different languages. I can tell you from calling a lot of people across the arab world, i havent heard yet of any arab country thats publishing or going to publish that magazine. Here in israel the images of the cover have been put on local news channels. Theyve been reporting about it all throughout the day on israeli media, showing some of the other cartoons. Some of them obscene. Some of them going to be perceived as offensive. Weve also heard that in turkey a Publishing House there that wanted to publish some of the cartoons apparently was raided and closed down by the authorities or at least prevented from being allowed to publish the new edition or the survivors edition of the magazine. Its not only the cover in the magazine thats sparked debate. Here in israel theres been some controversy around an image that was published in one of the ultra orthodox newspapers here that showed that world rally, the unity rally that took place in france over the weekend. Thats because the newspaper here actually photoshopped all of the women out of that march, effectively making it look that only men participated in it. Angela merkel the queen of jordan and others all of them were removed from that. Again, that sparks the issue of freedom of speech and the expression and at least some religious sensitivity. In terms of official reaction we have now heard from a few religious figures, particularly in egypt, the arab world, largest muslim country. Theyre the largest edict Authority Body which issues religious edicts has come out and condemned the new issue of Charlie Hebdo, saying that it was widening the discrimination or heightening the discrimination against muslims, widening the gap between cultures. It definitely condemned the violence. It did not call for any violence. But nonetheless, it was very critical of once again publishing images of the Prophet Muhammad on the cover. That was certainly a call that has been echoed by some other religious figures across the arab and muslim world, ronan. Our Ayman Mohyeldin following the Global Reaction to this. And as the world watches, the personal story is playing out here on the ground at offices just around the corner where the staff of survivors hole up over this past week trying to make the most dramatic the most effective issue an issue that could do justice to their fallen colleagues. I spoke to one writer on the new issue, and i asked her in those offices how the past 24 hours have been. Very emotional, sleepless, but sleepless week not only 24 hours. We woke up last wednesday with this nightmare, and since this time, were still just trying to recover, just to see what we are going to do. Its not easy for the moment. All those who are still alive want to continue working. No one wants to stop for the moment. But we are not sure that we that all of us will still have the courage to continue in the future because what we have faced is not easy at all. But for the moment Everyone Wants to continue, and thats very good. What do you most want the world to learn from the new Charlie Hebdo . We want first of all, this issue is a message of forgiveness because we feel that we need to forgive. Otherwise, how could we we dont think to feel any hatred is that the word towards the two guys who killed my colleagues. It is a message for them. If you cant kill an idea dont kill the people. Because they can kill people but they cannot kill the idea. So the idea is still here. And we are also here. And if they kill us it doesnt matter because others will continue. A writer for Charlie Hebdo on a very important day and certainly a difficult one for that team. Stay with us everybody. Were going to have certainly more of that online and later in the day. First, were going to look at an important issue up next after this break. The reaction in muslim communities around this country and around the world.

It certainly feels a little bit i dont know. Im really a little bit sad when i see these pictures but i dont think its a good reason to act and commit Violent Attacks against these people. Charlie hebdo made something not good for the muslim community. It doesnt justify what happened. We are all against violence. My conversations, some of them in the in a muslim neighborhood. Many were reluctant to talk to us there. Many taking a slightly more hostile stance. Certainly, weve also seen that around the world. Iran today came out in a big public way condemning the publication of this magazine. The foreign minister of that country saying that the cover insults islam. Thats from a spokesperson in that Foreign Ministers office. The court in turkey actually banned the publication of the issue. And police there were hearing, raided Printing Presses responsible for putting it out. So some very heated reactions to this on a significant and tense day. The executive director of the arabamerican association of new york someone whos been watching this reaction closely. Whats your response to this . Im very offended by the cover of Charlie Hebdo. Charlie hebdos magazine has ochbed ed offended me for a long time as does any publication that vilifies the Prophet Muhammad. But i support the freedom of speech of Charlie Hebdo and all journalists to say their piece. I also see the freedom of speech and expression of americanmuslims and others who are offended by Charlie Hebdo to be able to criticize. They shouldnt be free from criticism. And linda, ive talked to a number of writers behind the issue. One thing that was consistently stressed is theyre not antimuslim, that they in fact are making a statement of incluesivity, that all faiths should be able to laugh at themselves. Whats your response to that . I think its a really sensitive issue when you Start Talking about religion. While it shouldnt be off limits and everyone should be able to express whatever ideas they have they also have to accept the criticism that comes. Of course thats never a justification of the murder of innocent people. Of course, across the world, youve heard of muslim world leaders, muslim activists who have condemned the violence against these cartoonists and other journalists. But we have to have a larger conversation on freedom of expression and freedom of speech in a place like france that banned a comedian who has been deemed antisemetic. We cant pray in public. There was a ban on protests this past summer during the gaza war. So if were going to talk about freedom of speech we want to make sure that applies to everyone including muslims in france and muslims across the world. One characterization that ive heard from within the Charlie Hebdo team is that the Prophet Muhammad holding that sign saying je suis charlie and the headline saying all is forgiven it an attempt at being conciliatory. A comment by one writer saying the next issue could be resolved by sitting down to a drink instead of violence. Do you think this cover is productive in the conversation . I dont see any productivity from that or from the muslim perspective seeing that as a way of giving an olive branch to muslim community. I think we need to really have a conversation and understand the reality of islamphobia. How do we make sure theyre part of the discussions, part of the conversation on addressing extremism and not trying to have these separate conversations and talking about multicultureismmulticulturism, talking about freedom of speech and expression with all parties involved including french muslims who are not feeling like theyre part of the larger french society, at least from my understanding of many who are living in the suburbs and living in poverty and not seeing a way to go up the latddder. And the restrictions of laws on muslims needs to be include. A french muslim is just as important as a french christian, as a french jew. Theyre all french citizens and should all be treated as such. And linda, you mentioned islamophobia. There has been some attacks on mosques. Certainly theres been how do you stop that . How do you celebrate free speech while trying to protect populations . I call on our allies and nonmuslims to stand up and say, look, these muslims are part of our society. Majority of muslims are good people. They contribute to our communities and we need to make sure that they are not the targets of any attacks. You know look its not just in france. You saw recently in germany thousands of people hit the streets in an antiislam protest. Were seeing in one week there were four attacks in sweden on mosques. This is a phenomenon across europe. We really need the european leaders to stand up and say, muslims have been here for centuries in europe. Theyre here to stay. They are part of our community. I think thats a strong message that im looking for and personally havent heard from european leaders. Linda, both of the sides of this conversation are very important right now, both defending those muslim communities and also your coming out and saying we defend the right to free speech. Your fwrup is an important part of this conversation. Thanks for your time. Thank you. Stay with us everybody. Weve got other top stories playing out around the world after this break, including a murder plot against john boehner. Details on that next.
