France Terror: ‘Two Dead Amid Hostage Siege’
The Paris terror suspects are holed up at an industrial building near Charles de Gaulle airport and two people have reportedly been killed. Reports also say that 20 people have been injured and the pair have taken hostages. A conflicting report by Reuters says that one person has been killed.
It follows a car chase on the N2 motorway in which gunshots were fired between the men and police as their stolen car headed towards Paris.
Three helicopters are now hovering over the building in Dammartin-en-Goele near the country’s busiest airport.
France’s interior minister has confirmed that an operation to detain the suspects is under way.
Armed police are ordering members of the media to leave the area, saying the situation is too dangerous.
