Police on Thursday hunted for two heavily armed men, one with possible links to al Qaeda, in the methodical killing of 12 people at satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo that caricatured the Prophet Muhammed, as France began a day of national mourning for what its president called "an act of exceptional barbarism."

Methodical attack

The drama began in broad daylight in a quiet Paris street when the masked, black-clad men with assault rifles stormed the offices near Paris' Bastille monument in the Wednesday noontime attack as the journalists were in an editorial meeting, first shooting a person in the reception area.

The publication had long drawn condemnation and threats - it was firebombed in 2011 - for its depictions of Islam, although it also satirised other religions and political figures.

One witness to Wednesday's attack said the gunmen were so methodical he at first mistook them for an elite anti-terrorism squad.
