The honorary French consul to Utah, Marie-Helene Glon, and other members of the French community met at the state Capitol on Saturday to discuss the terror attacks in Paris and support their home country.

A dozen people were killed at a satirical newspaper in Paris on Wednesday by two brothers who authorities say were linked to al-Qaida and a policewoman was shot to death Thursday by an associate of the pair.

Al-qaida's branch in Yemen said it directed the attack against Charlie Hebdo because it made the Prophet Muhammad a frequent target of its cartoons and satire.

The terror spree ended Friday when security forces killed the brothers at a printing press near Paris where they were holding hostages. The associate, who had taken hostages at a kosher supermarket in Paris to try to help the brothers escape, was killed in a simultaneous raid.

At least four hostages also were killed Friday.
