We are in front of the print shop where, in fact the final showdown took place with the kouachi brothers. Police are directing traffic around and not allowing access to the sight. It was a violent scene yesterday when the police made their final assault. Ill get to your question in a second. We want to start off with the video we got overnight that shows how violent the assault was. Here it is. [ gunfire ] t one of the things we didnt know yesterday, police werent telling us but there was a gentleman, an employee of the factory hidden inside. All day long his cell phone was giving tips about the two gunmen and where they were and also letting the police know that one of the two gunmen had been wounded in a struggle with police before coming to the factory.

It is going to be a question that may end up in the parliament here at some point because theyll want to know why the police didnt act further. According to the reports this morning, the police had tens of thousands of pages of transcripts of telephone conversations that took place between and among the three and also between the three of them and theres photo graphic evidence that linked them and showed the terrorist training they had been through.

He said the terrorism alert level here was higher than ever before. As a consequence, you have to ask yourself why it was a prime target like charlie lebhebdo, why it wasnt better protected.
