Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that France is "united" following the "shocking" attack on Paris-based satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Twelve people, including two police officers, were killed by two gunmen, who stormed the publication's headquarters in the country's capital on Wednesday.
"It's [a] dreadful and terrible situation," Wenger, who was born in Strasbourg, told reporters. "Shocking. The whole country is shocked.
"To think, in a country like France, you can die for your ideas or how you want to speak, is absolutely shocking. France is a country with a big history of free speech. At the moment, the whole country is united."
Suspects Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34, are being hunted by police.
