French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo is facing fresh international criticism after a cartoon in its latest edition appeared to link Syrian Kurdish toddler Aylan Kurdi with those who committed sex attacks in Cologne on New Year’s Eve. The cartoon contains a drawing of the toddler’s drowned body in one corner; below it is a depiction of two men chasing women. A caption reads: "What would little Aylan have grown up to be? A bum groper in Germany.” The controversial caricature has sparked a harsh reaction on social media. The magazine's current publishing director, Laurent Sourisseau, nicknamed Riss, is the author of the cartoon. On Jan. 7 last year, two brothers -- Said and Cherif Kouachi -- targeted the offices of Charlie Hebdo, murdering 12 people. Among the murdered were the magazine’s editor Stephane Charbonnier, AKA 'Charb', a number of prominent cartoonists and journalists, a building maintenance worker and two police officers. Images of the body of Aylan Kurdi – a Syrian child washed ashore on a Turkish beach last September – prompted an international outcry about the refugee crisis in Europe. aa.com.tr/en/world/france-charlie-hebdos-aylan-cartoon-causes-uproar/504724
