Watch Charlie Hebdo editors discuss caricaturing the prophet Muhammad in a 2006 video
Back in 2006, the editors of Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine that was the target of a terrorist attack in Paris Wednesday, were the subject of a short New York Times documentary in which they discussed how to respond to a controversial Danish cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad. The short is an interesting look at Charlie Hebdo's cartoonists, and shines further light on the paper's fearless editorial strategy. --Samantha Rollins
