FBI insider on Paris terror attack

                                            Shawn Henry, a former FBI executive assitant director, joins "CBSN" to discuss the attack on the office of Charlie Hebdo and online extremisim.
                                    

At least 12 people were killed in the attack, and while the motive hasn't been confirmed, the newspaper has been attacked previously for publishing cartoons satirizing the Prophet Muhammed and Islam in general. Witnesses are also reporting the gunmen asked specifically for newspaper staff by name.

Why jihadists are so committed to their cause

                                            CBS News correspondent Clarissa Ward joins CBSN to discuss what drives Islamic extremists to attack Western targets.
                                    

Charlie Hebdo's office was firebombed in 2011 after publishing a cartoon depicting an image of the Prophet Muhammad. Any depiction of the prophet is forbidden by Islam.Ignoring the attack and the threat of further violence, Charlie Hebdo published more Muhammad pictures the following year.The phrase "Charlie Hebdo" quickly became the top trending term on Twitter, and thousands took to using the hashtag "#jesuischarlie" or "I am Charlie" to show support. Even the U.S. Embassy in Paris switched its Twitter avatar in solidarity.A screengrab of the U.S. Embassy's Twitter feed on Wednesday morning, January 7, 2014.The Newseum in Washington, D.C., also announced Wednesday it is planning to project the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie on its atrium screen as a show of support for free expression. The Newseum says journalists around the world fight every day for the right to report the news, express ideas that others disagree with and ask questions that some don't want asked. Twitter France sent out a message saying that as of 1:30 p.m. ET, #jesuischarlie had been used more than 650,000 times.Depuis 12h30 aujourd'hui, près de 650 000 Tweets de soutien #JeSuisCharlie
