French security forces have put an end to a three-day terror rampage around Paris. They’ve killed the two brothers who staged a deadly attack at a satirical newspaper. And they’ve also killed an associate of the brothers, after he seized a kosher supermarket to try to help them escape. In addition to the three terrorists, at least four hostages were killed today.

Here & Now’s Robin Young and Lisa Mullins get the latest on the situation in the Paris area from Bloomberg correspondent Gregory Viscusi in Paris, the BBC’s Rob Watson in London and Jytte Klausen of Brandeis University in Massachusetts.
