A placard with a press cartoon by cartoonist Plantu is placed amongst a frieze on the Republic statue at the Place de la Republique in Paris January 8, 2015 the day after a shooting at the Paris offices of weekly satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. French police extended a manhunt on Thursday for two brothers suspected of killing 12 people at a satirical magazine in Paris in a presumed Islamist militant strike that national leaders and allied states described as an assault on democracy. France began a day of mourning for the journalists and police officers shot dead on Wednesday morning by black-hooded gunmen using Kalashnikov assault rifles. French tricolour flags flew at half mast throughout the country. The slogan reads “Wholeheartedly with Charlie Hebdo”. REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes (FRANCE – Tags: CRIME LAW MEDIA)
