The editorial offices of the northern Germany newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost, which reprinted the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed from the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, became the target of an arson attack over the weekend. Police say no one was physically injured.
In Brussels, the editorial offices of the largest French-language daily Le Soir were evacuated after an anonymous telephone call threatened a bomb attack. The threat came at a time when more than 10 000 people were marching through the streets of Brussels in a "civic march against hatred and for freedom of expression" in response to the attacks last week by Islamist terrorists in Paris.
Agence France-Presse reports that a police spokesperson said the perpetrators of the arson attack in Hamburg first threw rocks and then an incendiary device into the office. The blaze "damaged two rooms but the fire was quickly put out", police said.
Officers have arrested two people in connection with the attack, but the spokesperson would not reveal any more details. The investigation is ongoing.
