Charlie Hebdo attacks: Vast Paris rally to take place

Huge crowds and some 40 world leaders have gathered in Paris for a unity march after 17 people were killed during three days of deadly attacks.More than a million marchers are expected to take the streets.Police are seeking accomplices of the gunmen who attacked satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket.Ahead of the rally, a video emerged appearing to show supermarket gunman Amedy Coulibaly pledging allegiance to militant group Islamic State. In the video, he said he was working with the Charlie Hebdo attackers: “We have split our team into two… to increase the impact of our actions.” Said and Cherif Kouachi – who were shot dead by police on Friday – killed 11 people at the magazine offices in the French capital on Wednesday, and a policeman in a nearby street.
Coulibaly killed four hostages seized at the Hyper Cacher supermarket on Friday before being shot dead by police.  He is also believed to have shot dead a policewoman in Montrouge on Thursday, and has now been linked by prosecutors to the non-fatal shooting of a 32-year-old jogger in a park in Fontenay-les-Roses, in south-west Paris, on Wednesday.  His partner, Hayat Boumeddiene, is still wanted by police – although she is thought to have fled France last week. Officials believe she may have entered Turkey en route to Syria.
