(AFP) Ten years after a deadly attack on its office that shocked France, Charlie Hebdo magazine is marking the anniversary with a cartoon contest mocking God, with Sunday the deadline for submissions.
The satirical weekly was targeted by two Islamic extremists on January 7, [2015], who gunned down eight members of staff including some of the country’s most famous cartoonists inside its premises in central Paris.
The attackers — two brothers who were later killed by police — targeted Charlie Hebdo after its decision to publish caricatures lampooning the Prophet Mohammed, Islam’s most revered figure.
