PARIS- French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo defied the attackers in last week's bloodbath by putting a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammed on its next cover, as the government on Monday announced the deployment of 10,000 soldiers to boost security.
The weekly released the front page of what it called the "survivors' issue", due out Wednesday, featuring a crying Muhammed in a white turban and holding a sign that reads "Je suis Charlie" under the words: "All is forgiven".
The issue will be the first since two Islamist gunmen stormed Charlie Hebdo's Paris office on January 7 and massacred 12 people, saying they were taking revenge for previous publications of Muhammed cartoons considered deeply offensive to many Muslims.
In a further show of defiance, the magazine announced it would print three million copies not the usual 60,000 when it reappears on newsstands this week.
