"I don't know how I will explain this to my 5-year-old son."Parts of France on high alertThis "war" erupted two days ago, when a pair of heavily armed men -- hooded and dressed in black -- entered the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine known for its provocative, often profane, take on religion, politics and most anything else.Satirical magazine is no stranger to controversyThey burst into a meeting, called out individuals, and then executed them.

In a 400-page court record, he is described as wanting to go to Iraq through Syria "to go and combat the Americans.""I was ready to go and die in battle," he said in a deposition. "... I got this idea when I saw the injustices shown by television. ...
