2015-01-08 94

Two suspected terrorists held up a gas station in Northern France a day after they allegedly slaughtered a dozen people inside the Paris office of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the station's manager said. The unidentified worker claimed brothers Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34, had Kalashnikov rifles and rocket launchers in their car when they burst into the Avia station in Villers-Cotteret Thursday morning. The gas station is about 55 miles northeast of Paris. It’s not clear if anyone was injured in the attack. Police have not confirmed the hold-up. Authorities are hunting the two suspected killers after the brutal assault on the Charlie Hebdo offices that left 2 police officers dead along with 10 employees of the publication. A third man, Hamyd Mourad, 18, turned himself in to police after the attack. Several others have been detained by police, but it is unclear what role if any they played in the deadly act of terrorism.
