Elite French police stormed a printworks and a Jewish supermarket Jan. 9, killing two brothers wanted for the Charlie Hebdo attack and a gunman linked to them in a dramatic end to twin sieges that rocked France.

One of two brothers suspected of carrying out the deadly shooting at a French satirical weekly visited Yemen in 2011 to train with al-Qaeda-affiliated militants, U.S. and European sources close to the investigation said on Jan. 8.
 

More than 2,000 people attended a gathering to express solidarity with the people of France in Athens on Thursday evening, following the deadly attack in Paris on Wednesday against satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which left 12 people dead and 11 wounded.

French police has launched a large-scale operation north-east of Paris on Thursday to find two fugitive brothers suspected of being the main perpetrators of the massacre at the Charlie Hebdo magazine.

The two brothers sought in connection with the attack on Charlie Hebdo weekly have been spotted in France's north-east, a French news agency says.

According to reports, they were seen driving some 30 miles north of Paris and also at a petrol station in Aisne, AFP writes, citing media reports.

France will be bolder and more active in its policies against radical Islam, the country's ambassador to Bulgaria Xavier Lapeyre de Cabanes said on Thursday.

Two brothers are suspected by police to have committed the attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Authorities issued photos of Cherif and Said Kouachi, who are still being hunted down, with security forces having sought them mostly to the north of Paris.
