On Wednesday two armed terrorists opened fire at the Paris office of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo killing 12 people.Amongst the dead were staff cartoonists, Charb, Cabu, Honore, Tignous and Wolinski.The publication has previously caused controversy for poking fun with its depictions of the prophet Muhammad and several other religious icons.

Both terrorists involved in the shooting, Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi, were gunned down in a hail of bullets yesterday at a print factory outside the city.In the aftermath of the attack, millions across the globe united in support for the newspaper by tweeting Je suis Charlie and using posters and stickers featuring the slogan.

Wallop: Asterix gives a terrorist a sharp right uppercut


Survivors of the brutal terrorist attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo hope to print one million copies of their next issue.Despite the killing of most of its senior journalists, the publication's lawyer Richard Malka said the surviving staff were going to put out an eight-page issue - instead of its usual 16-page run of 60,000.

 Charlie Hebdo columnist Dr Patrick Pelloux emotionally told French TV channel i@Tele that the magazine would continue, as not doing so would mean the killers had won.Paris deputy mayor Patrick Klugman told Today: "The one message is already everywhere - Je suis Charlie."What does Je suis Charlie' mean?"It means we have to preserve what has made the French Republic since 1789 - the capacity of living together with our differences, to love each other with our differences and to be very strict in a secular conception of religion - and also a world that can be hit by massive violence and barbarian attacks."
