Charlie Hebdo Depicts Prophet Muhammad On Cover

Above the cartoon are the words "All is forgiven".

This comes after Islamist gunmen last week raided the magazine's Paris office, killing 12 people.

The slogan in French "Je suis Charlie" was widely used following the 7 January attack on the magazine, as people sought to show their support.

Meanwhile, French MPs will gather for the first time since the attack.

In Israel, the funerals will be held for four Jewish victims of a separate Paris shooting by an Islamist gunman.

A total of 17 people were killed in three days of terror attacks in the French capital last week.

About 10,000 troops are being deployed across France after the attacks, and a huge unity rally was held in Paris on Sunday.

Three million copies of Wednesday's edition are being printed.

Normally only 60,000 are sold each week.
