Article: Charlie Hebdo sells out quickly

Charlie Hebdo's defiant new issue is selling out before dawn around Paris, and still people are lining up at kiosks in case of a spare copy of the paper fronting the Prophet Muhammad.

The core of the irreverent newspaper's staff perished a week ago when Islamist extremists stormed its offices, killing 12. Those who survived put out the issue that appeared on newsstands Wednesday, working out of borrowed offices, with a print run of 3 million - more than 50 times the usual circulation.
 
They increased the print to 5 million. A massive EU middle finger to Muslim extremists :)
 
Normal print was 60k. To think the paper was on the verge of bankruptcy.
