On Wednesday, two men entered Charlie Hebdo, a French newspapers headquarters, and killed a total of 12 people. They attacked this place because they produced anti-Muslim cartoons. The two men escaped from the scene and led the French Police on a massive manhunt. The police could not track down where the two men went on Wednesday or Thursday, but they soon appeared on their radar when they took hostages in a printing warehouse outside of France. The police already knew that these men were dangerous and had ties to Al Qaeda. French Special Forces surrounded the building so there was no possible escape for the two men.
While this was all happening a grocery store on a popular French street was taken over by a man and women claiming to be associated with the two men that had taken hostages in the printing factory. They too had hostages, and said that if the printing factory was stormed they would kill the hostages. There were hours of negotiation, but police knew that both pairs were likely on a death mission. They stormed both locations, and a total of three hostages were killed along with the two brothers at the printing factory and the man at the grocery store. The female at the grocery store escaped in the crowd of hostages.
Do you think the French Police will be able to track down the woman who escaped, and what do you think should be the consequences if they do find her? Do you think that writers and illustrators will change was they write/draw because of these attacks?

Great job!
These killings are absolutely terrible, but I don't think they will be able to find that other woman until they make another attack. If they find here she will be in terrible punishment. I think the writers will avoid saying things that could anger al qaeda.
I hope they find the women for aiding the terrorists. But i do not know what a punishment should be. I think the people should keep on writing because it will show that they aren't scared and wont back down after a little action.
I saw on the news the other night the women fled to Istanbul. And that's exactly what the writers did. They sold a record amount of copies on the first edition after the attacks.
I think it might take some time with these smart of people because they have been doing this for awhile but I think they will find them at some point. I don't know what should be the penalty but it should be very bad because they were killing people and doing horrible things to people and there families.
I think that they will eventually find her. When and if they catch her she should face the death penalty due to taking hostages and killing several before running from the police. I think that the news station will more than likely change what they put in there cartoons due to the attack. It will more than likely take the people that work there along time to get over what happened.
They actually ended up releasing another one today, and they sold a record amount of copies. They were warned against it by some governments.
I think it is very possible that they will find the women, and when they do she will either be sent to prison for the rest of her life or worse for comiting acts of terrorism. And I think that Al Qaeda will attack again no matter what they do just because that is what they do.
I agree that they will not give up in trying to find the woman who was responsible for aiding in the attack. I think terrorism should have a death sentence unless you can prove that you had no part in any killing.
I think the writers will continue no matter what because they do not want to show weakness and let the terrorists complete their goal of stopping the anti-terrorism writing and drawing.
