French security services are investigating death threats made towards the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Le Parisien reports that asource close to the investigation told the newspaper the first threat was posted on the magazine’s Facebook account before being removed by an unknown person.
The threat said that several members of the editorial team would be the targets of an attack.
A similar threat, using similar language, was sent directly to the magazine’s editor.
The police source told Le Parisien: “The messages raise the idea of killing several members of the editorial team, again.”
Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, two brothers who became ISIS followers, attacked the Charlie Hebdo’s Paris offices on 7 January 2015. They killed eleven people and injured a further eleven, before being killed by the police.
The magazine’s offices have since been placed under enhanced security.
The Local reports that the magazine is now based at a top secret location, after initially moving from the offices where the attack took place to the offices of the daily newspaper Libération.
