Maryse Wolinski Files Complaint Over Charlie Hebdo Security Issues

One of the elements of the Charlie Hebdo murders on which I've seen little reporting is that on the practical matters involved with the assault and aftermath: how decisions were made on both sides to pursue certain strategies, and how they were carried out. I'm sure that material exists in the crush of coverage, I just haven't run across it in the normal course of things.

I note, then, with some interest that Georges Wolinksi's widow Maryse has filed a civil suit regarding what she called the "Security Failures" of January 7, including why there was only one officer assigned to Charb of the four on his detail and why bicycle officers were sent in response. The prime minister's calm approval of the case and the explanations that will follow interests me, too; he states he hopes the investigation will run its course and that the widow deserves to know the truth that her plaintiff status may help her ascertain.
