The Hamburger Morgenpost, which reprinted some of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons that paper was targeted for by terrorists, was itself targeted by arsonists. Deutsche Welle reports:

Police said "rocks and then a burning object" were thrown through rear court-yard windows into archive rooms of Hamburg's daily newspaper, the Hamburger Morgenpost around 0200 a.m. local time (0100 UTC). Two people seen acting suspiciously in the area had been taken into custody, as authorities investigated further, police added, refusing to give more information about those detained. The investigation had been handed to Hamburg city state's police and intelligence authorities.

German police, rightly, say it's too early to tell if the arson is related to the paper reprinting the Charlie Hebdo cartoons but that that was the "key question" investigators are targeting.
