Charlie Hebdo:
Magazine is published for first time since devastating Paris terror attacks
SATIRICAL magazine Charlie Hebdo is selling out across France after its first release since the Paris terror attacks.
Three million copies of the mag – which has a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed on the front – were printed.
It is exactly one week since Islamic terrorists Said and Cherif Kouachi stormed the magazine's HQ, murdering 12 people in cold blood.
Five of Charlie Hebdo's cartoonists – including its editor Stephane Charbonnier – were killed in the attack.
People queued from 6am to get their hands on the historic issue.
"It was incredible," said one woman working at a Paris newspaper stand.
"I had a queue of 60-70 people waiting for me when I opened.
"I've never seen anything like it. All my 450 copies were sold out in 15 minutes."
Copies of the magazine are already selling on Ebay for over £100 as people rush to get their hands on it.
Part of an editorial in the magazine reads: "For the past week, Charlie, an atheist newspaper, has achieved more miracles than all the saints and prophets combined.
"The one we are most proud of is that you have in your hands the newspaper that we always made."
French and British Muslim groups have urged their communities to stay calm and to resist "emotive reactions" to the magazine.
Around 2,000 copies of Charlie Hebdo have gone on sale in the UK with radical cleric Anjem Choudray describing the front cover as an "act of war".
"It's not just a cartoon, it's insulting, it's ridiculing, it's provoking."
