Charlie Hebdo attack: 'If you kill humour you kill civilisation'

A major manhunt has been launched for gunmen who shot dead 12 people at the Paris office of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Eight journalists and two policemen were among the dead. Police issued photos of two suspects, describing them as "armed and dangerous". A third suspect reportedly handed himself in to police.

Protests and vigils over the attack, the deadliest the country has seen in decades, have been held across France. President Francois Hollande called it a "cowardly murder" and declared a day of national mourning on Thursday.

French writer and director Benjamin Legrand pays tribute to his friends Cabu and Wolinski who were killed in the terrorist attack and describes the scenes as "like war".
