PARIS (AP) Frightened yet defiant, French residents held a day of mourning Thursday for 12 people slain at a Paris newspaper. French police hunted for the two heavily armed brothers suspected in the massacre, fearing they might strike again.
The two suspects one a former pizza deliveryman who had a prior terror conviction and a fondness for rap should be considered "armed and dangerous," French police said in a bulletin.
Ninety people have been questioned so far in the investigation and nine people close to the two suspects Cherif Kouachi, 32, and his 34-year-old brother Said Kouachi were detained for further questioning, officials said.
Authorities extended France's maximum terror alert from Paris to the northern Picardie region, focusing on several towns that might be possible safe havens for the two suspects, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told reporters.

(12,754 posts)I actually started out as a Habs fan. I went to school in Northern Vermont -- pre-cable TV -- and the only hockey we could get on the TV was from Montreal -- and in French.
Then, I moved to Boston and you don't want to tell people there that you're a Habs fan.
