Terror sieges brought to bloody end

Security forces dramatically ended a three-day terror spree around Paris, killing the two al Qaida-linked brothers who staged a murderous rampage at a satirical magazine, and an associate who seized a kosher supermarket to try to help them escape.

The worst terrorist attacks France has seen in decades killed at least 20 people, including the three gunmen. The fate of a fourth suspect – the wife of the supermarket attacker – remained unclear.
