Twelve people were killed Wednesday when gunmen stormed a French satirical news magazine which has published cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.
France raised its terror threat level following the shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in central Paris and stepped up security for media organizations, large stores and places of worship. Two police officers were among the dead and the gunmen remained at large hours after the attack, which occurred at 11:30 a.m. local time (5:30 a.m. ET).
"We will find the people who did this," French President Francois Hollande said. "France is today shocked by this terrorist attack."
Its most recent tweet was a cartoon of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. The caption translates to: "Best wishes, by the way."

Meilleurs vœux, au fait.
