- Charlie 
  Hebdo attack: latest updates


Muslim places of worship in two French towns were fired upon overnight, 
  leaving no casualties, prosecutors said on Thursday. 


Three blank grenades were thrown at a mosque shortly after midnight in the 
  city of Le Mans, west of Paris. A bullet hole was also found in a window of 
  the mosque. 


In the Port-la-Nouvelle district near Narbonne in southern France, several 
  shots were fired in the direction of a Muslim prayer hall shortly after 
  evening prayers. The hall was empty, the local prosecutor said. 


An explosion at a kebab shop near a mosque in the eastern French town of 
  Villefranche-sur-Saone on Thursday morning also left no casualties. Local 
  prosecutors have described it as a "criminal act".
