French anti-terrorism police converged on an area northeast of Paris on Thursday after two brothers suspected of being behind an attack on the Charlie Hebdo were spotted at a petrol station in the region. France's prime minister said on Thursday he feared the Islamist militants who killed 12 people could strike again as a manhunt for two men widened across the country.
Two police sources said that the men were seen armed and wearing cagoules in a Renault Clio car at a petrol station 70 km from the French capital. Amid French media reports the men had abandoned their car, Bruno Fortier, the mayor of neighbouring Crepy-en-Valois, said helicopters were circling his town and police and anti-terrorism forces were deploying en masse.
