Charlie Hebdo sells out before dawn, with Muhammad on cover

None

PARIS - Charlie Hebdo's defiant new issue sold out before dawn Wednesday 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.
