The gunmen who killed 12 people at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo's office in Paris were almost about to abort the attack plan after one of them had a "stomach bug."
According to The Mirror, a police report said that Said Kouchi, one of the attackers, had contracted a "virulent stomach bug" and was left bed-ridden for the entire day before the massacre.
However, after taking medication, he was well enough to execute the attack on January 7.
The attack was condemned widely by the West and led to millions of people taking to streets to support free speech.
