Charlie Hebdo

Founded in 1970, Charlie Hebdo is France's second most important satirical newspaper after Le Canard Enchaîné. Twelve of its employees were killed in an attack on the editorial office by radical Islamists in 2015, among them prominent caricaturists and publisher Stéphane Charbonnier. In 2006 Charlie Hebdo republished the controversial Mohammed cartoons from the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten. In 2011 the offices were destroyed by an arson attack.
