Cairo, Jan 14 (IBNS) The Yemen branch of terror outfit Al Qaeda on Wednesday owned responsibility for last week's brutal attack on French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in which 12 people were killed.
Nasr al-Ansi, a top commander of Al Qaeda in Yemen, appeared in an 11-minute internet video, claiming that the attack was carried out in vengeance for the prophet, reports said.
 
He said Yemen's Al Qaeda branch chose the target, chalked out plans and financed the operation.
 
Two masked gunmen shot dead journalists and other people in Paris after the newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
 
The whole world was shocked following the massacre, first of its kind in France.
 
The two alleged attackers were later tracked down by police and shot dead in a small industrial town of France.
