Latest Issue of Charlie Hebdo Magazine Sold Out | 2 Million Additional Copies to be Released

The latest issue of controversial French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has reportedly sold out within minutes of hitting newsstands on Wednesday.

As a result, the publisher of the magazine has decided to print 2 million additional copies, Guardian UK reports. You will recall that the initial plan was to print 3 million copies but due to the overwhelming demand, the planned print run has increased to 5 million in total.

Large queues were seen at magazine kiosks all around France following the release of the publication.

Prior to the terror attacks, the magazine reportedly had a circulation of 60,000.
