Police released two suspects detained after Sunday's arson attack against a German newspaper that printed cartoons from the French satirical magazine
Charlie Hebdo, AFP reported on Monday.
The two suspects, men in their 30s, were arrested in the city of Hamburg for behaving suspiciously near the scene of the attack at the
Hamburger Morgenpost offices

The probe into the firebombing of the local paper is still ongoing, police reassured, as are efforts to decipher whether the attack was linked to the reprinting of the controversial cartoons.
