London newsagent: 500 people have asked for Charlie Hebdo

A London newsagent says almost 500 people have asked whether he stocked the latest edition of French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo.

Five million copies are being printed - a week after Islamist gunmen murdered 12 people at its offices and five others in subsequent attacks in Paris.

Put together by the remaining staff, it has become known as "the survivors edition" and features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on the cover.

The newsagent, known only as "Sandy," said he had received "a barrage of calls and people coming in" because the publication had become "big news".

However, he brushed off fears of a backlash against his shop for stocking the magazine. "People are very, very tolerant," he said.
