Charlie Hebdo, the satirical French newspaper that was attacked by masked gunmen on Wednesday, posted a cartoon mocking ISIS on its Twitter and Facebook accounts shortly before the attack.

The cartoon and its caption wished ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi "good health and best wishes." The tweet was posted an hour before the attack, in which 12 people were killed. It was also the last update posted to Charlie Hebdo's Facebook account.
