A massive manhunt is underway in France for the gunmen who attacked the Paris headquarters of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people.
Three of the magazine's cartoonists are reportedly among the dead, and staff at the magazine say the attackers specifically targeted them by name.
Two police officers who were guarding the building were also killed.
Cellphone video shows two gunmen calmly walking back to a car and telling passers-by "We have just killed Charlie Hebdo", before driving away from the scene.
Correspondent Peter Allen is in Paris and says there's now enormous pressure on the authorities to catch the men who are presumed to be fundamentalists, critical of the magazine's decision to publish cartoons portraying the prophet Mohammed.
