Bulgaria: Charlie Hebdo Attack Suspects 'Spotted' in Northern France Two police officers run during a police operation in Arcueil, near Paris, France, 08 January 2015, following a shooting in Montrouge, south of Paris, France, 08 January 2015.

The two brothers sought in connection with the attack on Charlie Hebdo weekly have been spotted in France's north-east, a French news agency says.

According to reports, they were seen driving some 30 miles north of Paris and also at a petrol station in Aisne, AFP writes, citing media reports.

Sources suggest the petrol station's manager recognized the brothers and informed authorities.

French police have been carrying out a huge-scale manhunt over the past hours to track down the brothers Said Kouachi, 34, and Cherif Kouachi, 32, wanted after allegedly breaking into Charlie Hebdo's offices and opening fire on the editorial team.

Twelve people died in Wednesday's attack, and eleven were left wounded, some of them gravely.
