France: 3rd terrorst, 4 hostages dead — A helicopter flies over a building, where the suspects of a shooting at a Paris newspaper office were holed up, after security forces stormed it in Dammartin-en-Goele, France.

The duo died when the security forces moved in on a print works in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele, northeast of Paris, where the main suspects of the January 7 attack were holed up with their hostage. The print works, set in marsh and woodland, had been under siege since the gunmen took refuge there early on Friday after abandoning a high-speed car chase.

However, police said at least four hostages were killed in a separate siege at a Jewish supermarket in eastern Paris. The person who took the hostages at the supermarket and allegedly had links to the same Islamist outfit as the brothers, was also killed.
