The New Issue Of Charlie Hebdo Is Selling Out Within Minutes Of Hitting Newsstands

The new issue of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo reportedly sold out within minutes of hitting newsstands Wednesday, AFP reports.

Charlie Hebdo is known for publishing irreverent cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad. The Paris office of the magazine was attacked by terrorists who shot and killed 12 people, including some of the weekly's top cartoonists, last week.

Its latest cover addresses the attack. It features the Prophet Muhammed shedding a tear and holding a sign that says "Je Suis Charlie," the popular slogan being used by many in support of the magazine. Above Muhammed's head are the words "All is forgiven." Some devout Muslims consider any depictions of Muhammad offensive.

People in France lined up early to get their copies of the new Charlie Hebdo issue, and many newsstands are already sold out:
