Charlie Hebdo publishes special edition a year after attack

AFP, PARIS: French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo published a special edition Wednesday on the eve of the anniversary of a jihadist attack that wiped out most of its staff, prompting protests from the Vatican over a cover lampooning God.
In typical Charlie Hebdo fashion, the special edition features a bloodstained, bearded God-figure in sandals with a Kalashnikov slung over his shoulder under the headline: “One year on: the killer is still at large.”
The Vatican criticised the cover for failing to “acknowledge or to respect believers’ faith in God, regardless of the religion.”
