HOSTAGES: Charlie Hebdo killers and accomplice carry out two separate hostage situations in France

Panic continues to erupt in France as two hostage situations were carried out Friday. The location of Charlie Hebdo killers, Said and Cheriff Kouachi has been identified. The two brothers are held up in a small printing business named Creating Trend Discovery in Dammartin-en-Goele with one hostage, according to Daily Mail.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Miles away, Amedy Coulibaly, one of the two wanted for Thursday's deadly shooting of policewoman in Paris, gathered his own set of hostages. Coulibaly took up post in a kosher store near Porte de Vincennes in easter Paris, according to CNN.

Coulibaly and the Kouachi brothers are believed to have joined the same jihadist group years earlier and harbor a strong relationship.

Although there is not yet a confirmed number of hostages with Coulibaly, there are believed to be six, including women and children.

"It is now feared that Said Kouachi and his brother Cheriff contacted Amedy Coulibaly - and possibly ordered him to take hostages in a bid to force police to allow them to escape," stated Daily Mail. Police officers scrambled the phone signals, but fear they didn't carry out the task soon enough.

Two sieges by the suspected Islamic terrorists are playing out at the same time. "Fears grew that they would be looking to cause another bloodbath."

Schools around Dammartin-en-Goele were put on lockdown and citizens were told to lock their doors and stay inside. Students closest to the Kouachi brothers' hostage holdup were escorted by police officers to a different school where they were to be picked up by parents.

Communication efforts with the Kouachi brothers are underway. An Interior Ministry source confirmed for Daily Mail that the men have said they were "ready to die as martyrs."

According to police officials, Coulibaly has threatened to kill his hostages if police storm the al Qaeda terrorist Kouachi brothers.
