DAMMARTIN-EN-GOELE, France (AP) -- Two brothers suspected in a terror attack took a hostage Friday and were cornered by police inside a printing house northeast of Paris. One lawmaker said they told negotiators they want to die as martyrs. French security forces poured into the small industrial town of Dammartin-en-Goele near Charles de Gaulle airport after the suspects hijacked a car early Friday in a nearby town. Authorities are determined to seize the men suspected of carrying out Frances deadliest terror attack in decades - the attack Wednesday in Paris that left 12 people dead at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. One of the men had been convicted of terrorism charges in 2008, the other had visited Yemen. A U.S. official said both brothers - 32-year-old Cherif Kouachi and 34-year-old Said Kouachi - were on the American no-fly list. They said they want to die as martyrs, Yves Albarello, a local lawmaker who said he was inside the command post, told French television station i-Tele.
