Charlie Hebdo marks year since attack with provocative cover
The cover of the anniversary 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 controversial cover is typical of the fiercely secular publication whose drawings of the Prophet Mohammed drew the fury of Muslims around the world and inspired the bloody attack on its offices on January 7 last year.
Jihadist brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi gunned down eight Charlie staff as well as several others in and around the building in the assault, which began three days of terror in the French capital that would eventually leave 17 dead.

The attack, claimed by Al-Qaeda's branch in the Arabian Peninsula, was not the first on the publication, which was firebombed in 2011.
The bloodshed stunned a nation that has become a target for jihadists and was again plunged into shock in November when 130 people were killed in coordinated attacks around Paris.
- 'Two idiots in balaclavas' -
Charlie has continued to raise ire, refusing self-censorship in the wake of the attacks, working from ultra-secure offices in a top-secret location.
When Riss pictured Aylan Kurdi, the Syrian toddler found dead on a Turkish beach this year, under a McDonald's sign in what was intended to be criticism of the consumer society, he was accused of racism.
And he said a priest who attended the massive January 11 march after the attack had written to him to say he found the latest cover "scandalous."
The cartoonist said in his editorial he was often asked how he managed to continue after what had happened.
"We want to beat the crap out of those who wanted us to die more than ever.
"It is not two little idiots in balaclavas who are going to screw up our life's work."
However those killed are never far from the minds of the cartoonists.
