The French terror suspects are dead at both locations, according to the City Hall of Dammatin and the French ambassador to the U.S. The dramatic development came after sustained gunfire and small explosions erupted at both hostage situations in France. There were at least four explosions and a barrage of gunfire at the kosher market in Paris and then police were seen going in. People then were seen coming out of the market, and ambulances and firetrucks drove towards the market, loaded people in and drove away. Two simultaneous hostage-takings in France today are linked, with suspected gunmen in each situation connected through an earlier attempt to break a convicted terrorist out of jail, Paris' public prosecutor told ABC News. Amedi Coulibaly, 32, a suspect in a Thursday fatal shooting of a police officer in Paris' Monrouge area, is believed to be involved with a hostage standoff at a kosher grocery, police said. Coulibaly was convicted for his involvement in an attempt to help a convicted terrorist escape custody, while Cherif Kouachi -- a suspected gunman in Wednesday's massacre at a French satirical newspaper office -- was released.Sadly, Reuters reports that four of the hostages were also killed in the standoff. Bastards. I for one don't lament that the terrorists were killed, at least not in a they-got-off-easy sense, because given their apparent spiritual condition, they ain't getting off anywhere near easy.
