Murdered Police Officer Ahmed Merabet's Brother Malek Says Charlie Hebdo Terrorists 'Pretend To Be Muslims'
Jack Sommers
The brother of the police officer murdered by the terrorists who attacked the Charlie Hebdo offices has called them "pretend" Muslims.
Ahmed Merabet was shot dead as he lay injured on the pavement on Wednesday during the attack on the satirical newspaper's offices.
His death prompted the hashtag #Jesuisahmed to trend on Twitter, as people emphasized his heroism amid fears the attacks, in which 17 people died over three days, could see a rise in anti-Islam sentiment in France.
