Next ‘Charlie’ issue to mock gunmen
The next issue of Charlie Hebdo will include cartoons by its murdered cartoonists.
An advance copy obtained by AFP contained cartoons mocking the two Islamist gunmen who carried out the attack. One has them arriving in paradise and asking, “Where are the 70 virgins?”
“With the Charlie team, losers,” comes the reply.
The remaining Charlie Hebdo staff who put the issue together said they wanted Mohammed on the cover to show they would not “cede” to extremists wanting to silence them.
