Armed police have surrounded the Charlie Hebdo killers after they seized a hostage and are now holed up in a business premises near a Paris airport. Al Qaeda gunmen Said Kouachi, 34, and his brother, Cherif, 33, have reportedly told police negotiators: 'We are ready to die as martyrs'. MailOnline understands police scrambled phone signals in the area after the gunmen made contact with a fellow jihadist while inside the building. Officers are hunting the associate who is feared to be behind the murder of a police officer yesterday and a new hostage crisis ongoing in Paris today. The third hostage-taker, named as Amedy Coulibay, 32, this afternoon took at least six captives at a kosher grocery, leaving two people dead. Coulibay is thought to be demanding that the Kouachi brothers be allowed to go free, according to reports. Revelations that a call was made by the Kouachis suggests they may have instructed Coulibay to carry out today's atrocity to leverage their escape. There were reports of another alert near the Eiffel Tower, with police seen training their guns down the stairs of a Metro station, but it was a false alarm. Local media reports that the brothers met Coulibay while in prison. He is believed to be a fellow member of the Buttes Chaumont – a gang from the 19th arrondissement of Paris that sent jihadists to fight in Iraq. The Kouachis were cornered in Dammartin-en-Goele, around 25 miles from the capital, this morning after leading police on a dramatic car chase. After exchanging gunfire with officers, they fled on foot into printing works where they are holding a hostage, believed to be a 26-year-old male.

these b@stards should have been martyred years ago.
In the end, they will surrender, and go to a plush French jail until their ‘friends’ arrange a prisoner exchange of kidnapped innocent victims for depraved Islamic murderers.
Happens all the time in the middle east. Even Israel trades.
We’re the people they killed martyrs?
Lots of rumors being printed. Can’t all be true.
Nice to see that Euro media are as incoherent as American media in a crisis.
Don’t worry, after this episode all plays out, there will be a LOT of questions in France about why nothing was done about these clowns earlier. The debate there is just beginning!
As a side note, it will be very interesting to see what the attendance is at the German anti-Islam rallies this weekend ....
I expect Germany is about to “explode” this weekend.
Id suggest that America play close attention.
the muslim jihadists have proudly stated that its thier desire to destroy the infidel states....aka Nations.
its against the law in the U.S.A. to take action to violent action to otherthrow the Government as I remember. is it not similar act to make statements of INTENTIONS to do so?
Then blandly announce that this will be the fate of every single muslim terrorist killed in action anywhere in France, every single one!
I think he meant to say “murderers” instead of “martyrs”.
Then come out where they can draw a bead on you.
World War III is on! Civilization versus barbarians! (Could also be described as The Crusades, Part Deux!)
Genetic and social debris.... that’s what I call them.
NOT fully evolved, chromosomes missing!
My take on American media is that they are more coherent in a crisis, at least in the late night early morning hours, while the spinmeisters are abed.
Actual unspun facts sometimes get reported!
So why don’t our French friends grant their wish.
And puppy drool. Don’t forget the puppy drool.
That has been suggested for going on 14 years. Again and again and again and... Does not seem to have any traction.
when you say it for 5 hours it generally means you don’t mean it.
My liberal brother called me today and asked if I would teach him to shoot a gun.
what did the gun do to deserve that (duckn & runnn)
