Gunmen Cornered

The reproduction of Michelangelo's David in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence wears a black arm band and his feet are draped with the French tricolour in memory of those Charlie Hebdo staff who were slaughtered by Muslim fanatics 48 hours ago. The latest news is that the gunmen are holed up in a small printing works in Dammartin-en-Goele, north of Charles de Gaulle Airport, surrounded by police. There has been an exchange of gunfire. The murderers are believed to hold at least one hostage (CLICK). They probably want to go out in a blaze of glory to attain Muslim Heaven. So a tricky situation for the French police.
