Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
French authorities have arrested seven people in connection with the terrorist attack on a French satirical newspaper Wednesday.
The two gunman, however, are still at large.
Two brothers, Cherif and Said Kouachi are believed to be the gunman who shot and killed 12 people inside the French publication Charlie Hebdo. Cherif has a criminal record of serving 18 months in prison for criminal association with a terrorist organization in 2005. He was part of an Islamist cell that called for French citizens to go to Iraq to fight Americans.
The man who drove the getaway car surrendered to authorities Wednesday night. Hamyd Mourad, 18, is reportedly working with authorities to identify anyone who helped in the planning of the attack.
Authorities say that seven people connected to the brothers are under arrest. They have not said what charges will be brought against them.
French president Francois Hollande has called for a national day of mourning.
“Nothing can divide us, nothing should separate us,” Hollande said in a statement. “Freedom will always be stronger than barbarity. France has always known how to defeat its enemies when it has known how to defend its values. Let us be united and we shall triumph.”
