One year after Charlie Hebdo was attacked by Islamist extremists, the magazine has released a striking anniversary edition with a cover featuring a cartoon of God as a terrorist. Seventeen people died in three days of attacks targeting the magazine's offices, police and a kosher store last January. This week, President Francois Hollande led memorials to the victims of the shootings.
