The publication, which is known for their controversial magazine covers, was the victim of terror attacks in January; it was targeted due to the long history of publishing provocative caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Twelve people, including four prominent cartoonists, died from those attacks, according to the Huffington Post.

But even after the attacks, Charlie Hebdo continued to publish.

Just days after the shooting that took place at their publication's office, the magazine printed yet another cover featuring the Prophet Muhammad. This time depicting the prophet holding up a sign that read, "Je suis Charlie," or "I am Charlie," CNN reports. "Je suis Charlie" was an expression that many people came to use to show solidarity for those affected by the shooting at Charile Hebdo.
