Kerry Charlie Hebdo Massacre Had Clearer Rationale Than Paris Attacks
Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that the "rationale" for the January attack on a French satirical magazine made more sense than the attacks in Paris last Friday. During remarks at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, CBS News reports that Kerry said the Friday attacks, which killed 129, were not the same as the attack on Charlie Hebdo, which left 12 dead. "There's something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that," Kerry said. "There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms ofnot a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, Okay, they're really angry because of this and that,'" he continued. "This Friday was absolutely indiscriminate."
