Charlie Hebdo on attack anniversary: ‘Assassin is still out there’

French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo marked the one-year anniversary since the deadly terror attack on its Paris office by reminding the world that terrorism is still out there.

Their black-and-white cover, to be released Monday, shows a bearded religious figure with a gun strapped to his back wearing bloody clothes. The caption reads: “One year later: The assassin is still out there.”

The news magazine plans to release 1 million copies, including copies sold internationally, Le Monde reported.


Thursday marks the one year anniversary since two al Qaeda-linked gunmen stormed the Charlie Hebdo offices and killed 12. The two brothers, Cherif and Said Kouachi, were later killed in a shootout with police.

Work by five of the cartoonists killed in the attack will be published posthumously in the issue.
