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 magazine's headquarters had previously been the site of an Islamic terrorist attack in 2015.[1]

The French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin considered this to be "clearly an act of Islamist terrorism."[2]

A man from Pakistan, suspected of carrying out the attacks, was arrested near the scene.[3] Six other suspects were subsequently arrested in Paris in connection with the attack.[4]
