THE three terrorists behind the bloody spate of terror attacks in France have been killed after police stormed both scenes.

Charlie Hebdo killer brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi were shot after reportedly emerging from their bolt hole firing at police.

Minutes later armed officers stormed the Jewish supermarket in Paris where Amedy Coulibaly had been locked in a bloody stand off.

He had threatened to kill hostages if police acted against the Kouachis.

Ambulances streamed away from both scenes after the gunfire and explosions which brought the sieges to an end.

Hostages from the supermarket could be seen being led to safety. The Kouachis' hostage was also freed.

The operations finally brought to an end the worst spate of terror attacks in France since 1961, a murderous spree that has rocked the country.

On another day of extraordinary developments, Coulibaly, an associate of the Charlie Hebdo killers, launched a fresh strike at the Hyper Cacher kosher store in Porte de Vincennes in the east of the capital.

That came hours after the Kouachi brothers were cornered in Dammartin-en-Goele, a town around 25 miles (40km) north of Paris.

Two police officers were injured in the gun battle with the brothers.

Coulibaly, 32, was also behind the murder of a policewoman in the Paris suburb of Montrouge yesterday morning.

He is believed to have been connected to the Kouachis, who started the killing spree on Wednesday morning when they attacked the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

All three men were known to the French security authorities.
