Arson attack at German paper that ran Charlie Hebdo cartoons

That was quick:

A German newspaper in the northern port city of Hamburg that reprinted Mohammed cartoons from the French satirical paper Charlie Hebdo was the target of an arson attack early Jan. 11, police said.

"Rocks and then a burning object were thrown through the window," a police spokesman told AFP. "Two rooms on lower floors were damaged but the fire was put out quickly."
Interestingly, at the moment of this post being published, only the Russian RT and the Turkish Hurriyet (which is linked above) picked up the news (in English).

Yeah, are you still Charlie?
