At least 12 people were killed in a shooting inside the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday. French President Francois Hollande and other senior government officials are due to

arrive at the scene today. Two heavily armed men entered the Charlie Hebdo office and opened fire

inside the building. The magazine's office was burned three years ago in response to its

publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. In November 2011, Charlie Hebdo's offices caught fire the day it was due to publish a cover making fun of Islamic law. While it wasn't immediately

clear who was behind the attack, French officials viewed it as a clear act of terrorism. And there

were real fears things could get even worse, with the assailants still on the loose.

the Java Sea, raising hopes that the plane's black boxes and the precious information they hold might soon be recovered. The tail section, marked with part of the airline's logo, was detected by sonar early Wednesday. Finding the tail section is a potentially vital step in the investigation because that is where the flight data and voice recorders -- the so-called black boxes -- are located in the Airbus A320-200, the aircraft model of Flight QZ8501. It's still uncertain if the black boxes are in the piece of wreckage the searchers discovered.

More than 200 years after Samuel Adams and Paul Revere first buried the time capsule that was recently found, it took an hour yesterday to remove all the objects crammed inside a tiny time capsule. Among the stash Hatchfield removed from the 1795 time capsule: Five folded newspapers, a Massachusetts commonwealth seal, a title page from Massachusetts colony records and at least 24 coins. It took seven hours to remove the time capsule from the Massachusetts State House in December, and more than four hours before Tuesday evening's ceremony for officials to loosen the screws that were holding it shut. The box-shaped capsule was placed in the State House cornerstone in 1795 by Revere, the metalsmith, engraver and Revolutionary War hero; Adams, governor of Massachusetts; and William Scollay, a local developer, when construction began. Revere was responsible for overlaying the State House dome with copper. It's not the first time the box has been uncovered. In 1855, during some other repairs, the time capsule was removed and its contents cleaned, only to be put back in the cornerstone for almost 160 years -- with a few objects added. Going forward, conservators will work on preserving items removed from the time capsule. After the conservation process is finished, they'll go on display at a museum for a bit. And eventually, the time capsule and its contents will be placed again in the cornerstone of the Massachusetts State House.
