PARIS - Al-Qaeda has threatened French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo with a repeat of a 2015 massacre of its staff, after it republished controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, the SITE observatory said on Friday .

The comments came in an English edition of the Al-Qaeda publication that purported to mark the anniversary of the Sept 11, 2001 attacks on the United States carried out by the terror network. The trial, which began on Sept 2 and is expected to continue until November, sees 14 suspected accomplices face justice even though all the perpetrators were killed in the wake of the attacks.

Charlie Hebdo's director Laurent Sourisseau, known as"Riss" and who was himself badly wounded in the shoulder in the attack, told the court this week that there was nothing to regret in publishing the cartoons.
