Charlie Hebdo magazine has published a satirical frontpage cartoon targeting the terrorists behind the recent terrorist attacks in Paris. The 'Screw the Terrorists' champagne cover comes less than a week after the attacks in the French capital city left over 100 people dead, Reuters reported.

"They have weapons. Screw them. We have champagne," reads the headline of the publication's new issue. A man is depicted on the cover of the magazine consuming a drink while it all flows out from his bulleted torso.

This is the magazine's first publication since the recent terrorist attacks. Ten months ago - in January - Islamist gunmen also attacked Charlie Hebdo offices killing 17 people.

According to CNN, gunmen forced their way to Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris during the attack earlier in the year. Paris prosecutor Francois Mollins told CNN that the attackers were allegedly avenging Prophet Mohammad and yelled "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great").

A previous report said the motives of the attack was unclear. Charlie Hebdo is known for satirizing Prophet Mohammed. This has enraged some Muslims and possibly is the reason behind the January attack.

The publication is known for "risqué cartoons and daring takedowns of politicians, public figures and religious symbols of all faiths," the article said.

In 2011, Charlie Hebdo published an issue of a magazine with a cover page that appears to be making fun of the Islamic Law. A figure of Prophet Mohammed with beard and wearing turban was depicted along with the text "100 lashes if you're not dying on laughter."

Another issue was released by the publication in 2012 which featured a naked Prophet Mohammed being pushed in a wheelchair by an Orthodox Jew.

"The aim is to laugh," Charlie Hebdo journalist Laurent Leger told BFM-TV in 2012. "We want to laugh at the extremists -- every extremist. They can be Muslim, Jewish, Catholic. Everyone can be religious, but extremist thoughts and acts we cannot accept."

He noted that if some people do not like their featured covers, they can sue and the publication will defend itself.

"In France, we always have the right to write and draw. And if some people are not happy with this, they can sue us and we can defend ourselves. That's democracy," Leger said. "You don't throw bombs, you discuss, you debate. But you don't act violently. We have to stand and resist pressure from extremism."
