(Bloomberg) — Suspects of the two terror attacks in Paris were killed in twin police raids today, ending three days of intense drama in what was the deadliest such assault in the country in half a century.
The two Islamist suspects in the massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine were killed as police stormed the building where they'd holed up near Charles de Gaulle airport, police said. Almost simultaneously, police killed two hostage-takers at a kosher grocery near the Porte de Vincennes in eastern Paris. Three hostages were also killed there and four were injured, an official at the Elysee Palace said.
“Until now we had only threats; now we've realized that these are real and present on our soil,” Jean-Louis Fiamenghi, former head of France's elite police assault force, said in an interview on i-Tele.
