Charlie Hebdo is a Paris-based satiric magazine known for its lampooning caricatures, including those of the Prophet Muhammad. The magazine’s office was allegedly attacked by Islamic extremists on Wednesday, with 12 people, including the editor-in-chief, killed.

The latest edition of the magazine features the renowned French writer Michel Houellebecq and his new novel depicting France under Islamic rule.

Seven suspects have been arrested so far, with a nationwide manhunt for two gunmen still underway. One of the suspects earlier handed himself over to the police, claiming he has an alibi.
