Charlie Hebdo marks anniversary of attack with gun-wielding God
- 8 years ago
French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo will mark a year since an attack on its offices with a cover featuring a bearded man representing God with a Kalashnikov slung over his shoulder, accompanied by the text: "One year on: The assassin is still out there."
It will mark a year since brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi burst into Charlie Hebdo's offices in eastern Paris and killed 12 people, including eight of the magazine's staff.
The January 7, 2015 attack, claimed by Al-Qaeda's branch in the Arabian Peninsula, came after a 2011 firebombing of its offices that forced it to move premises.
The Charlie Hebdo attacks were followed in November by a coordinated assault on multiple locations in Paris, claimed by the Islamic State group, which left 130 dead.
