Two people have been killed in a Kosher store in eastern Paris where a 'heavily armed' Islamic terrorist is currently holding hostages, police believe. It is suspected up to five people have been taken hostage by Amedy Coulibay (pictured top centre), 32, who is wearing body armour and brandishing two Kalashnikov automatic weapons, with the help of a 26-year-old woman named Hayat Boumeddiene (top right). Dozens of armed police have swarmed on the area of Porte de Vincennes (main picture), where they have cordoned off the area and are fiercely preventing anyone from getting near the ongoing hostage situation (bottom right). Coulibay, who remains engaged in the stand off, is also believed to be the one responsible for shooting a policewoman dead in south Paris yesterday. Authorities say he screamed 'you know who I am' when he stormed the building today. It means that two sieges by suspected Islamic terrorists are playing out at the same time, as those responsible for Wednesday's Charlie Hebdo massacre remain under siege further north
