Charlie Hebdo gunmen killed
Security forces in France have killed the two gunmen who allegedly massacred twelve people at Charlie Hebdo Magazine on Wednsday and the third suspect who had been holding at least nineteen people hostage in a Jewish supermarket in Paris.
Live international television showed security forces simultaneously bursting automatic gunfire into the printing company at Dammartan-en-Geole and a Jewish supermarket in Paris.
The two gunmen at the printing company were killed and the Paris suspect also died after he had shot four hostages and injured the same number. Security forces freed fifteen suspects.
French President Francois Hollande hailed the security forces for the dramatic end to the two sieges.
“I want to tell them that we are proud; proud of them because when the order was given they assaulted in one movement with the same result,” he told a press conference in Paris that was carried live by international television stations.
He,however, said the problem was not solved and appealed to the citizens to remain vigilant and united.
“Even if France knows that can have through the security forces men and women who are capable of courage very very still the problem is not sorted out,” he said.
He said unity meant they were determined to fight against anything that could divide that country.
Reacting to the killing of the three gunmen, President Barak Obama told a press conference live on internal television channels at the White House yesterday that the USA and France had universal values that bound them together as friends and allies.
He said the world had seen once more on the streets of Paris that terrorists had nothing to offer apart from hatred and suffering.
Obama said the two nations stood for freedom, hope and dignity of all human beings and that Paris represented that to the world.
“ And that spirit will endure for ever; long after the scourge of terrorism has vanished from this world,” he stressed.
