Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo lay wreaths and observe a minute of silence on Thursday at three sites of the attacks.

On January 7, 2015, two French-born brothers killed 11 people inside the Parisian building where Charlie Hebdo operated, as well as a Muslim policeman outside.

Over the next two days, an accomplice shot a policewoman to death, then stormed a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris, killing four hostages. All three gunmen died.
