The global Islamic terror group, Al-Qaeda has threatened the French weekly Charlie Hebdo after the satire magazine republished cartoons of Prophet Mohammad.
According to SITE observatory, Al-Qaeda issued the latest threat against the French weekly on the day when America mourned the victims of 9/11 attacks.
The threat was also extended to the French President Emmanuel Macron who supported the decision of Charlie Hebdo to republish the cartoons and the and the terror outfit also sent the “same message” to former French President Francois Hollande.
The trial of 14 suspects who had provided support to the Islamic terrorists who killed the journalists in the Charlie Hebdo office is ongoing. Charlie Hebdo’s director Laurent Sourisseau told the court that there is nothing to regret over publishing the cartoons.
“What I regret is to see how little people fight to defend freedom. If we don’t fight for our freedom, we live like a slave and we promote a deadly ideology,” Sourisseau said. On the question of republishing the cartoon, Sourisseau added that “If we had given up the right to publish these cartoons, that would mean that we were wrong to do so in the first place.”
Al-Qaida message is very clear, the attack on Charlie Hebdo wasn’t “one-off” and it will again carry out an attack on the magazine for reprinting the “contemptible caricatures”.
Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi on January 7, 2015, killed twelve people in offices of Charlie Hebdo.
