HebdoThis week’s special edition of the Charlie Hebdo magazine, which recently came under a shooting attack in Paris, will feature caricatures of Islam’s Prophet Mohammad, says a lawyer for the French satirical weekly.

Richard Malka announced on Monday that this week’s issue of Charlie Hebdo, which will be out on Wednesday with a million-copy print run, will “naturally” include new cartoons of Islam’s holy Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him).

Charlie Hebdo’s Wednesday special edition, which also contains usual “jokes” on politics and religions, will reportedly be translated into 16 languages with many copies available outside France.

The French magazine has repeatedly provoked Muslim ire by publishing cartoons mocking holy Prophet Mohammad.

The Chairman of the Islamic Organizations Federation in Europe Abdollah bin Mansour said that the Muslims will be anguished by the Charlie Hebdo's new edition, yet he noted that they will encounter it by patience and restraint.

Mansour pointed out that he does not expect rash reactions after publishing the racist cartoons.
