Queues in UK to buy Charlie Hebdo

QUEUES are forming outside newsagents and bookshops as readers in the UK try to get hold of copies of the first Charlie Hebdo magazine since the deadly shootings in Paris.

DEMAND is high for the magazine's new issue, which carries a front-cover cartoon of a crying Prophet Mohammed, in the wake of last week's attack in which gunmen killed 12 people at its offices.

More than 1,000 copies are expected to be available in the UK, with newsagents bracing themselves for a rush.About 100 people were queuing outside The French Bookshop, in South Kensington, London, which is limiting sales of Charlie Hebdo to one copy per customer.A reported five million copies of the magazine are being printed, its largest-ever run, with translations into English, Spanish and Arabic, and versions available in the UK, Italy and Turkey.The first batch of about 500,000 copies was quickly sold out and several have appeared on online auction site eBay attracting four-figure bids, well in excess of the modest three-euro ($A4.20) cover price.Interest in the new issue of Charlie Hebdo has prompted more than 50 British Muslim leaders to appeal for calm from the Islamic community in response to the cartoon.
