French police are probing new threats against satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the target of a jihadist attack in January 2015 that left 12 dead, a legal source says Wednesday.

The publication has received a series of threatening messages on its Facebook page since June 8, and on June 22 a handwritten letter was posted to the newsroom containing the same threats and the words “Allahu akbar” (God is greatest).

“No one has been arrested at this stage and investigations are ongoing,” says the source.
