Reports now indicate that Hayat Boumeddiene — a woman initially thought to be part of Friday's siege of a kosher supermarket in Paris — may have left France in early January.
Three assailants who allegedly carried out two separate attacks in and around the French capital this week were reportedly linked by religious zealotry and a 2010 prison-break plot.
Today's gatherings across France are a prelude to a unity march planned for Sunday in Paris that is expected to bring two dozen world leaders and thousands of participants.
French officials are searching for Hayat Boumeddiene, who they say was involved in the killing of a policewoman in Paris on Thursday and possibly a later hostage-taking.
The satirical French magazine that was the target of a deadly attack typically prints 60,000 copies and sells about 30,000. Separately, news organizations and Google donated money to Charlie Hebdo.
French security forces are on the scene of an operation to detain two brothers suspected in the deadly storming of a French satirical weekly that killed 12, according to The Associated Press.
Two brothers suspected in the attack that left 12 people dead are still on the loose. A third suspect turned himself in. Meanwhile, Paris is on edge over reports of another shooting.
The French magazine responded to a 2011 firebombing of its offices with a cover that showed a Muslim and an editor making out. Its lead editor, described by a peer as fearless, was killed Wednesday.
Many in France marked the deadly assault yesterday on the offices of a satirical magazine by observing a minute of silence for the journalists and police killed by suspected Islamist extremists.
