Charlie Hebdo terror attack: Hunt for gunmen

Elite French security forces are tightening the net on two brothers suspected of slaughtering 12 people in an Islamist attack after discovering an abandoned getaway car in a northeastern town.

Helicopters buzzed overhead as police mounted a frantic manhunt for the two fugitives thought to be behind the bloodbath at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, the worst terrorist attack in France for half a century.

Police issued have arrest warrants for Cherif Kouachi, 32, a known jihadist convicted in 2008 for involvement in a network sending fighters to Iraq, and his 34-year-old brother Said.

Earlier they had been identified -- reportedly masked and armed -- at a petrol station near the town of Villers-Cotterets, 80 kilometres from the French capital, before fleeing again.

An AFP reporter saw 20 heavily armed security force officers surround a nearby house and storm it, keeping journalists away from the scene.

Islamic State, the militant group sowing terror across swathes of Iraq and Syria and calling for global jihad, hailed the brothers as "heroes" on its Al-Bayan radio station.

This was the first reaction by the jihadists to the Paris massacre in which the fugitive brothers allegedly said they were taking revenge for Charlie Hebdo's repeated publication of cartoons seen by many Muslims as sacrilegious.

In a further sign of the attackers' motives, a source close to the case said that Molotov cocktails and jihadist-style flags had been discovered in another getaway vehicle used by the attackers.

A maximum security alert declared in the capital was expanded to the region where today's manhunt is taking place.

As the dramatic chase unfolded, bells tolled across France at midday, public transport paused and people gathered outside the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo in pouring rain with banners reading "Je Suis Charlie" (I am Charlie).

Thousands of people gathered in the streets to mark a minute of silence and television footage showed children at a Muslim school in the northern city of Lille holding up sheets of paper emblazoned "not in my name".
