Arash Derambarsh, who has published books of cartoons by Stephane Charbonnier, the magazines editor known as Charb, and Jean Cabut, known by the pen name Cabu, paid tribute to the amazing job done by the police and special forces. Tonight France said to the terrorists we never give up in front of the terrorists, we never give up, he said. Twelve people were killed in the attack on the satirical magazine on Wednesday before the suspected gunmen went on the run, robbing a petrol station and prompting a huge manhunt across northern France. The brothers were cornered in a printing works near Charles de Gaulle airport on Friday and died as the building was stormed.

President Francois Hollande also praised the courageous security forces after police had killed Said and Cherif Kouachi, along with another gunman, Ahmed Coulibaly, who had taken hostages in a kosher supermarket. He said they had faced down the terrorist but warned France has not finished with the threats targeting it. I call you all to be vigilant, to remain united and remain mobilised.
