FRANCIA - Charlie Hebdo sells out within minutes; more copies scheduled for release

France’s first supply of Charlie Hebdo magazine since last week’s shootings sold out in just a few hours on Wednesday morning, report AFP. About 700,000 copies of the satirical weekly were initially produced. The magazine is sold in 27,000 newspaper kiosks, according to the National Union of Press Distributors (NUPD). The stores will be restocked with a further 300,000 copies on Wednesday or Thursday, according to the NUPD. Three million copies were initially planned – to be spread out over the coming week – but due to demand another two million will be produced. Supply of the magazines will be spread out, 500,000 per day, for the rest of the week, until next week’s issue.
