3 million copies of Charlie Hebdo magazine sold out within an hour of release (PHOTOS)

by Chinwe Okafor

Charlie Hebdo resurrected its irreverent and often provocative newspaper today, Wednesday, January 14.

The publication featured a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed on the cover.

The magazine, which normally sells around 30,000 copies a week, had an initial unprecedented print run of three million. This has been increased to five million after all the copies were snapped up.

Issues of the magazine had sold out across Paris newsstands and kiosks within minutes of release.

The latest cover shows a weeping Mohammed, holding a sign reading ‘I am Charlie’ with the words ‘All is forgiven’ above him.
