ImageLecture on "Charlie Hebdo: Le Choc en France"

Following the horrific terrorist attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris on January 7th, Consul General of France in Miami, Philippe Létrilliart, will comment and follow-up on what happened in France and what exceptional measures will be implemented to address the threat of terrorism. Beyond the horrible human tragedy, this incident is a challenge to French national unity and values.
