France terror attack suspects killed by police, several hostages dead

DAMMARTIN-EN-GOELE, France: Scores of heavily armed police stormed the suburban Paris hideout of two al-Qaida-linked suspects in the Charlie Hebdo magazine slayings and shot them dead as they attempted to escape in a hail of automatic weapon fire, French authorities reported on Friday (early Saturday in Manila).

The suspects, brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, were killed in the late-afternoon police storming of a printing shop warehouse in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele near Charles de Gaulle Airport outside Paris.
