The first post-attack edition of Charlie Hebdo has sold out in France, just hours after it was released. France 24 reports that people lined up in front of newsstands as they opened. The network adds: “Even before dawn, most French kiosks had sold out of the much-anticipated issue – despite a record print run of three million copies from the usual 60,000 – but people still lined up in the hope of getting their hands on a spare copy. On Wednesday, the magazine announced it would make five million copies available, including translations into five languages. “The core of the magazine’s staff perished last Wednesday when militants Islamists stormed its central Paris offices and killed a total of 12 people, including some of France’s finest cartoonists.”
