French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo is set to publish a special God-mocking edition next week to mark 10 years since an attack on its offices by jihadist gunmen that left eight staff members dead.
The anniversary of the shocking attack on freedom of expression is being used by the atheist publication to send a message of defiance to the extremists who burst into its offices on January 7, 2015, then fled shouting they had “killed Charlie Hebdo”.
“They didn’t kill Charlie Hebdo,” editor-in-chief Gerard Biard told AFP in a recent interview, adding that “we want it to last for a thousand years”.
The attack by two Paris-born brothers was revenge for Charlie Hebdo’s decision to repeatedly publish caricatures lampooning the Prophet Mohammed, Islam’s most revered figure.
