REPORT: Charlie Hebdo sells out before dawn, with Muhammad on cover

Charlie Hebdo's defiant new issue is selling out before dawn 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.

One newsstand just off Paris' Champs Elysee sold out at 6:05 a.m. five minutes after opening. At Saint-Lazare, people hoping to buy a copy scuffled when they realized there weren't enough to go around.

The newspaper appears as France's government prepares strict new anti-terror measures.
