The website was down in the hours following the attack on the magazine’s offices Wednesday afternoon. The Twitter account, which last tweeted a spoof of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has yet to resume tweeting.

The magazine had generated controversy for years with provocative cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammed. Its offices were firebombed in 2011.
