The lastest version of Charlie Hebdo magazine is flying off the shelves in France as French citizens step up to show massive support for freedom of the press.

Last week, Muslim terrorists targeted that magazine, trying to silence Charlie Hebdo because it printed cartoons mocking Mohammad.

The terrorists even shouted, "We killed Charlie Hebdo" after they murdered the editorial staff and cartoonists in the brazen massacre.

But instead of shutting down, survivors at the magazine ramped up to print 5 million copies of a special edition. They normally print only 100,000 copies at the most.

Initially publishers planned to print 3 million copies over a span of several days. But they've sold out before dawn for two days straight, so they're planning to print 2 million more copies.

"I wanted to buy this magazine in support for the team who has been murdered last week," Paris resident Jean-Baptiste Richard said.

"I know that their work is very important for the freedom of speech and that's the reason why I wanted to buy it," he explained.

The new issue of Charlie Hebdo defiantly shows another caricature of the prophet Mohammed on the cover, once again.
