France's Prime Minister said Thursday several people had been detained in the hunt for two brothers suspected of gunning down 12 people in an Islamist assault on a satirical weekly that shocked the country.

"Several were held overnight," Manuel Valls told RTL radio, adding the two suspects -- who have not yet been found -- were known to intelligence services and were "no doubt" being followed before Wednesday's attack.
