Paris: The two gunmen who massacred 12 people at the office of French satirical magazine 'Charlie Hebdo' have been located in northern France and they are heavily armed, the media reported.
They were seen in a grey Clio car in Aisne, a department in the Picardy region, Xinhua reported. The manager of a gas station near Villers-Cotteret was quoted as saying that he 'surely recognised the two men'.
Cherif Kouachi, 32, and his brother Said, 34, are suspected of gunning down 12 people at the 'Charlie Hebdo' office here Wednesday killing, among others, a cartoonist whose caricature of Prophet Mohammed ignited a huge row.
They are still on the run. Police dubbed them 'armed and dangerous'.
Cherif Kouachi was reportedly convicted of terrorism charges and sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2008 for being part of a cell that enlisted French nationals in eastern Paris to go to Iraq to fight Americans.
