Police in Paris have brought two separate hostage standoffs to an end, reportedly killing the two brothers who were accused of the shooting massacre earlier this week at the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The Kouachi brothers were held up in a print works to the north of Paris, and were holding a hostage when police stormed the building.
The authorities also moved to rescue hostages who were being held in a kosher supermarket by two alleged sympathizers of the Kouachis.
