Twelve people were killed and four left critically wounded today when armed gunmen carried out a 'massacre' at the offices of a notoriously anti-Islamic satirical magazine in Paris.
Two masked men brandishing Kalashnikovs burst into the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, opening fire on staff.
Police officers were involved in a gunfight with the men, who escaped in a hijacked car, speeding away towards east Paris and remain on the loose.
There are unconfirmed reports the attackers stalked the building asking for people by name before killing the publication's editor and cartoonist. Another reports says the editor is in a critical condition.
