Arson attack on German newspaper

POLICE in Germany have detained two men suspected of an arson attack early yesterday against a newspaper that republished the cartoons of French weekly Charlie Hebdo.

The Hamburger Morgenpost said that the overnight attack destroyed several files in its archive, but didn’t injure anyone.

Hamburg police said it had detained two young men near the newspaper building.

The tabloid published the cartoons to express its solidarity with the slain journalists.

Several other national and local German newspapers also published the cartoons and they are now getting police protection.
