U.S. Receives 20,000 Copies of Charlie Hebdo to Be Distributed in Major Cities

Thousands of copies of Charlie Hebdo will go on sale in the United States beginning Friday, more than two weeks after the deadly terrorist attack on the satirical newspaper’s Paris office.

LMPI, a distributor of foreign magazines and newspapers in the United States and Canada, told TIME that 20,000 copies will be offered.

"New copies will be available in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles," Martin McEwen, the company’s executive vice president of press distribution, said in a statement. "Chicago should receive copies early next week," he added, and copies will also become available in other markets.
