(8 Jan 2015) The German Chancellor and the Ukrainian Prime Minister on Thursday condemned the attack on a satirical weekly in Paris which killed 12 people.
Speaking at a joint news conference in Berlin, Angela Merkel vowed to protect "people of all faiths" living in Germany, stressing "good relations with the really overwhelming majority of Muslims" there.
Merkel added that security measures must be maintained because there were "a few isolated forces in Germany that have joined the Jihadists."
Arseniy Yatsenyuk expressed solitude with the French people and described the attack on the magazine as "a dreadful act of terrorism."
Outside the French Embassy in Berlin, people lit candles and placed flowers in memory of those who died in the attack.
Masked gunmen methodically killed the 12 people on Wednesday, including the weekly's editor, as they shouted "Allahu akbar!" - or "Allah is the greatest" - while firing, then fleeing in a car.
Charlie Hebdo's depictions of Islam have drawn condemnation and threats before.
It also satirised other religions and political figures.
It was firebombed in 2011.
