An employee at the printing business besieged by the Charlie Hebdo attackers was able to help police kill the terrorists after texting tactical information to them. 
 
 The 26-year-old graphic designer, who has been named in reports as Lilian Lepere, took refuge "under a sink in the canteen" upstairs at the business in Dammartin-en-Goele, according to Paris prosecutor Francois Molins. 
 
 Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi were holed up there after killing 12 people at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and going on the run. 
 
 A source told the AFP news agency Mr Lepere was "terrified". 
 
 But despite this, he managed to remain undetected and began communicating with police outside via text message.

 Mr Lepere sent them "tactical elements such as his location inside the premises", Mr Molins said. 
 
 The source added that Mr Lepere could hear the suspects talking, which helped reassure him and gave him more information to send to the forces outside. 
 
 A separate source said the man was also able to communicate with his family. 
 
 The brothers had taken the manager of the store hostage, but released him after he helped Said with a neck wound he had sustained in a firefight with police.

 At around 5pm local time on Friday, automatic gunfire and explosions could be heard as police moved in to end the siege. 
 
 Officials said the brothers had emerged from the building and opened fire on police before they were killed. 
 
 An armoured car gave them access to the upper floor to free Mr Lepere, a source said. 
 
 He was taken to police headquarters, where he was quickly reunited with his family, another source close to the case said, adding he was "shocked" but "OK".

 Mr Lepere's father said the family was "doing fine", and thanked the police and the "people who helped". 
 
 At the same time, the siege at a kosher supermarket in Paris was also coming to a bloody end. 
 
 It began when Amedy Coulibaly, who is believed to be an ally of the brothers, went into the store and took out a Kalashnikov. 
 
 A father called Ilan and his three-year-old son quickly hid in the supermarket's refrigeration unit after Coulibaly burst in, two relatives told AFP.

 Sources close to the investigation said at least three other people were with them. 
 
 Ilan removed his jacket and wrapped his son in it to protect the toddler from the cold. 
 
 The group remained there for almost five hours. 
 
 Ilan's mother quickly realised her son and grandson were hidden and decided not to try and contact them.

 She instead gave her son's number to the police, who were able to use it to track the location of Ilan and other hostages inside the supermarket. 
 
 According to Mr Molins, this knowledge may have played a part in their survival when police finally stormed the store.

 Charlie Hebdo attackers holed up in print shop 
 
 The day's drama began in Dammartin-en-Goele, where brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi ended up in a print shop in an industrial area. 
 
 A salesman, who identified himself only as Didier, told France Info radio that he shook one of the gunman's hands at about 8:30 a.m. as they arrived at the business. Didier said he first thought the man, who was dressed in black and heavily armed, was a police officer. 
 
 As he left, the armed man said, "Go, we don't kill civilians." Didier said, "It wasn't normal. I did not know what was going on."

 The gunmen told police that they wanted to die as martyrs, Yves Albarello, who is in France's Parliament, said on channel iTele. The area, meanwhile, was locked down -- with children stuck in schools, roads closed and shops shuttered. 
 
 Shortly before 5 p.m., gunshots and at least three large explosions pierced the relative silence. . 
 
 Soon after, men could be seen on the roof of the building where the brothers had holed up. Four helicopters landed nearby. 
 
 Word came that the brothers were dead and that a man who had been hiding in the building was safe, said Bernard Corneille, the mayor of nearby Othis. 
 
 Hostages at kosher grocery store 
 
 At the same time, in a different setting near Paris's Porte de Vincennes about 40 kilometers (25 miles) away, a similar crisis played out at a kosher store. 
 
 Amedy Coulibaly -- the same man who, authorities said, is suspected with Hayat Boumeddiene of killing a policewoman Thursday south of Paris -- on Friday took a number of hostages there. Boumeddiene remains at large. 
 
 Like Cherif Kouachi, a man claiming to be Coulibaly called BFMTV on Friday. At the scene, witnesses heard Coulibaly demand freedom for the Kouachi brothers, according to police union spokesman Pascal Disand.

 Law enforcement swarmed the area. Dozens of schools went on lockdown. 
 
 A resolution came a few minutes after the Dammartin-en-Goele climax, in the form of explosions and gunfire. Up to 20 heavily armed police officers moved into the store. They came out with a number of civilians. 
 
 Not everyone made it. Hollande said four people were killed. Israeli government sources told CNN that Hollande told Netanyahu that four hostages were killed and 15 were rescued. Molins said four hostages were killed by the gunman before police stormed the market. 
 
 Father: 'It's like a war' 
 
 In a speech Friday night, Hollande called the Porte de Vincennes deaths an "anti-Semitic" act. 
 
 He urged his countrymen not to respond with violence against Muslims, saying, "Those who committed these acts have nothing to do with the Muslim religion." 
 
 "Unity" he said, "is our best weapon."

 That kind of military language is apt when you're talking about two deadly attacks and violent standoffs in a few days. 
 
 It's something that a man, who asked to be called simply Teddy, understands. He was outside Henri Dunant elementary school in Dammartin-en-Goele on Friday, hoping to pick up his young son. 
 
 And, eventually, the students did leave the school -- accompanied by police officers who held their hands and, in some cases, lifted them onto an awaiting bus that would take them to safety. 
 
 "It's like a war," Teddy said. "I don't know how I will explain this to my 5-year-old son." 
 
 Parts of France on high alert 
 
 This "war" erupted two days ago, when a pair of heavily armed men -- hooded and dressed in black -- entered the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine known for its provocative, often profane, take on religion, politics and most anything else. 
 
 They burst into a meeting, called out individuals, and then executed them. The dead included editor and cartoonist Stephane Charbonnier and four other well-known cartoonists known by the pen names: Cabu, Wolinski, Honore and Tignous.

 Authorities followed a lead Thursday morning from a gas station attendant near Villers-Cotterets, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Dammartin-en-Goele, whom Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34, reportedly threatened as they stole food and gas. Police think the brothers may have later fled on foot into nearby woods. 
 
 Ties to Islamist extremists 
 
 As the suspects moved, the French government -- including more than 80,000 police deployed across the country -- also didn't stand still. 
 
 Some of them tried to prevent more bloodshed, which might have something to do with nine people detained after the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Investigators also dug to learn about the attackers. 
 
 Both men had ties to Islamist extremists. 
 
 Said Kouachi, left, and Cherif Kouachi are suspects in the Paris attack. 
 
 Said, the elder of the Kouachi brothers, spent several months in Yemen in 2011, receiving weapons training and working with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, according to U.S. officials. 
 
 His younger brother, Cherif, has a long history of jihad and anti-Semitism, according to documents obtained by CNN. In a 400-page court record, he is described as wanting to go to Iraq through Syria "to go and combat the Americans." 
 
 "I was ready to go and die in battle," he said in a deposition. "... I got this idea when I saw the injustices shown by television. ... I am speaking about the torture that the Americans have inflicted on the Iraqis." 
 
 Cherif was a close associate of Coulibaly, a Western intelligence source told CNN. 
 
 A man claiming to be Cherif told CNN affiliate BFMTV in a phone call before he was shot and killed Friday that he was sent to carry out the massacre by al Qaeda in Yemen and that the late Anwar al-Awlaki financed his trip. CNN cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the recording. 
 
 Al-Awlaki, an American-born Muslim scholar and cleric who acted as a spokesperson for al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, was killed in 2011 by a CIA drone strike. 
 
 Cherif and Coulibaly were involved in a 2010 attempt to free an Algerian incarcerated for a 1995 subway bombing. Coulibaly was arrested with 240 rounds of ammunition for a Kalashnikov rifle and a photo of Djamel Beghal, a French Algerian once known as al Qaeda's premier European recruiter. 
 
 The Western intelligence source said that Coulibaly lived with Boumeddiene, his alleged accomplice in the police shooting, and that the two traveled to Malaysia together.

 A unity rally will be held Sunday "celebrating the values behind" Charlie Hebdo, said British Prime Minister David Cameron, who will travel to Paris to attend. 
 
 And the magazine itself -- whose former offices were firebombed in 2011, on the day it was to publish an issue poking fun at Islamic law and after it published a cartoon of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed -- will go on as well, even without its leader and most talented staffers.

 Patrick Pelloux, a columnist for the magazine, told CNN that "I don't know if I'm afraid anymore, because I've seen fear. I was scared for my friends, and they are dead." 
 
 He and many others are defiant. 
 
 "I know that they didn't want us to be quiet," Pelloux said of the slain Charlie Hebdo staffers."They would be assassinated twice, if we remained silent." ||||| Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Footage captures the moment police raids ended both sieges 
 
 Two sieges in France have been brought to a bloody end, with three gunmen and four hostages killed. 
 
 Two brothers who killed 12 in an attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine on Wednesday were shot dead as they fled a warehouse north of Paris, firing at police. 
 
 Shortly afterwards in eastern Paris, anti-terrorist forces stormed a kosher supermarket where hostages were being held by a gunman with reported links to the brothers. 
 
 The gunman and four hostages died. 
 
 French police believe the captives were killed before the assault on the Hypercasher supermarket near Porte de Vincennes, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters late on Friday. 
 
 Four hostages were seriously injured and 15 were rescued unhurt. Two police officers were injured. 
 
 The operation was launched after the end of the siege in Dammartin-en-Goele, 35km (22 miles) north of Paris. 
 
 The two brothers there, Cherif and Said Kouachi, came out of the building firing at police and were killed. Two police officers were injured. 
 
 One hostage there had earlier been released and a second employee, who was hiding in the building's cafeteria, was freed by police after the shooting ended.

 French President Francois Hollande described the events as "a tragedy for the nation". 
 
 In a televised address, he thanked the security forces for their "bravery [and] efficiency", but added that France still faced threats. "We have to be vigilant. I also ask you to be united - it's our best weapon," he said. 
 
 "We must be implacable towards racism," he added, saying that the supermarket attack was an "appalling anti-Semitic act". 
 
 "Those who committed these acts, these fanatics, have nothing to do with the Muslim faith." 
 
 Meanwhile, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said there had been a "clear failing" in French intelligence. 
 
 "If 17 people die, this means mistakes have been made," he said, including those killed in attacks on Wednesday and Thursday in the toll. 
 
 Separately, a man who took two women hostage in a jewellery store in the southern city of Montpellier on Friday, surrendered to police early on Saturday. Police said his motive was not known but that there was no link to Islamist violence.

 The actions of France's highly trained GIGN counter-terrorist police brought a swift end to a crisis that began 53 hours earlier with the armed raid on the Paris magazine Charlie Hebdo. 
 
 But a number of important questions remain. Was this attack planned and orchestrated from abroad and if so by whom? Is there any credence to claims made by the gunmen before they died that they were linked to al-Qaeda in Yemen and to Islamic State, two sometimes competing organisations? And what was the real target here, Charlie Hebdo or the entire French nation? 
 
 Questions are already being asked of French police and intelligence about how the two Kouachi brothers, well-known for their extremist views and already on US and European no-fly watchlists, were left free to acquire assault rifles and carry out the murderous raid on 7 January. 
 
 Beyond this, France has a deeper problem, coping with a growing number of violent jihadists who will see this week as only the beginning. 
 
 France sieges end: Eyewitness accounts 
 
 'God's faithful soldiers' 
 
 The police assaults came after three tense days in France. 
 
 The Kouachi brothers killed 12 people and injured 11 more in Wednesday's attack on the office of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine. 
 
 The unprecedented attack shocked France and there has been an outpouring of sympathy and solidarity worldwide. 
 
 The brothers then went on the run, before being surrounded at Dammartin. 
 
 The hostage taker in Paris has been named as Amedy Coulibaly, 32. It is not clear whether he had an accomplice but police are looking for his partner, Hayat Boumeddiene, 26.

 Coulibaly knew one of the Charlie Hebdo attackers and their respective partners had spoken on the phone more than 500 times, Mr Molins said. 
 
 During Friday's siege, Coulibaly had threatened to kill his captives if police attempted to capture the brothers, he added. 
 
 Earlier on Friday, a man claiming to be Coulibaly told French TV station BFMTV that he was a member of the Islamic State militant group, and that he had "co-ordinated" his attack with the Kouachi brothers. 
 
 Coulibaly has been linked by DNA tests to the killing of a policewoman in the southern suburb of Montrouge on Thursday. 
 
 Late on Friday, the Yemen branch of al-Qaeda (AQAP) released an audio message praising the attacks in France but stopped short of claiming responsibility for the assault on the offices of Charlie Hebdo. 
 
 AQAP senior leader Sheikh Harith al-Nadhari said "some in France have misbehaved with the prophets of God," adding that "God's faithful soldiers" had taught them "the limits of freedom of speech".

 What we know so far
– Some intriguing details about the role of cell phones in yesterday's dual raids in France that killed three suspected terrorists: Hidden helper: When Cherif and Said Kouachi holed up in a building outside Paris, they were unaware that a man identified as Lilian Lepere, 26, was hiding inside. He was reportedly under a sink but close enough to hear the brothers talk, and he began texting police information about their whereabouts, his whereabouts, and the building itself, reports Sky News. The dialogue lasted three hours, and a police official says it gave authorities crucial help ahead of the raid, reports the Wall Street Journal. Didn't hang up: The hostage-taker at the kosher market in Paris, Amedy Coulibaly, called a TV station at one point but failed to properly hang up the phone after talking. "This allowed police to hear him saying a final prayer before his death, perhaps suggesting that this prompted the police raid," reports AP. Hostage location: Several people at the market hid in a refrigeration unit, including a father and his toddler-age son. When the man's mother realized they were trapped inside the market, she opted not to call in case they were hidden. Instead, she gave the phone number to police, who were able to track the location of the hostages inside the store, reports AFP. The information may have helped them survive when the raid took place.
