[dipsydoodle]

Security is being stepped up at some of France's embassies after a French satirical magazine published obscene cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he was "concerned" after the issue of Charlie Hebdo appeared on news-stands.

French embassies, consulates, cultural centres and international French schools in some 20 countries will be closed on Friday as a precaution.

Riot police have been deployed around the magazine's offices in Paris.
