The Paris offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo were set on fire in the early hours of this morning, the magazine's editor told Europe 1 radio.
The attack took place after the magazine published an edition it said was guest-edited by the Prophet Muhammad renamed 'Charia Hebdo', in a reference to Sharia law, media reported.
"A window was broken and a Molotov cocktail was thrown inside," the magazine's editor, known only as Charb, said. "There's nothing left inside."
A police source said the fire happened at about midnight, adding that no one was injured.
