One Suspect Surrenders to French Police: Two Others Remain at Large #CharlieHebdo

I saw conflicting reports on Twitter earlier suggesting that one of the jihadists had been killed.

But not according to the Wall Street Journal, "Charlie Hebdo Office in Paris Attacked by Gunmen; 12 Killed: Satirical Magazine Targeted in Past for Cartoons on Islam; Hollande Calls Shooting a Terror Attack":

PARIS—Masked gunmen stormed the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, killing at least a dozen people and decimating a newsroom that long took pride in defying the outrage—and death threats—stirred by its caricatures lampooning Islam.

The rampage shocked a nation that has been living in dread of reprisal attacks since joining the fight against Islamist insurgents in Africa and the Middle East. The attack—by gunmen armed with AK-47 rifles—triggered an outpouring of public anger at home and expressions of solidarity from around the world.

Three suspects, all Frenchmen, were identified late Wednesday, a police officer said. They are Said Kouachi, 34 years old; his brother Cherif Kouachi, 32; and 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad.

Mr. Mourad turned himself in to police, the Paris prosecutor’s office said. French police released photos of the two other suspects, appealing to the public for information.

French authorities deployed a vast dragnet to search for the suspects. As part of the manhunt, special forces were mobilized Wednesday night in the city of Reims, about 100 miles east of Paris, to search an apartment, said the officer.

President François Hollande designated Thursday a day of mourning and said flags would be flown at half-staff for three days nationwide.

It is unclear whether the gunmen acted alone or were part of a broader organization. But they appeared to have planned the attack and to have been motivated by radical Islamist beliefs.

French television showed footage of two men wearing balaclavas leaving Charlie Hebdo’s offices shouting in French: “We have avenged Prophet Muhammad. We have killed Charlie Hebdo.”

The gunmen also shouted “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great,” according to a witness cited by Paris prosecutor François Molins.

The attack adds to already high terrorism concerns in Europe at a time when France and the U.K. are fighting alongside the U.S. against Islamic State insurgents in Iraq and Syria. France has also deployed forces in the Sahara in a bid to crush radical groups there.

The shootings could reverberate more broadly across Europe, where anti-immigration politicians—including Marine Le Pen in France—are gaining popularity among voters hit by mass unemployment and a sense of social unraveling...
