BAGHDAD (AFP) - The Islamic State group's radio on Wednesday described French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo's publication of a new cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed as an "extremely stupid" act.

"Charlie Hebdo has again published cartoons insulting the prophet and this is an extremely stupid act," said a statement read on Al-Bayan radio, which the jihadist group broadcasts in areas under its control in Syria and Iraq.
