Paris, Jan 7 (IBNS): French President Francois Hollande has called the Paris magazine office attack as a 'terrorist' act which left at least 12 people killed.

Unknown gunmen on Wednesday opened fire and shot down at least 12 people in Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

The attack left 10 people injured.

French President Francois Hollande said the incident was “undoubtedly a terrorist attack."

"Several terrorist attacks were thwarted in recent weeks," he was quoted as saying by france24.com.

"No barbaric act will ever extinguish the freedom of the press. We are a united country that will react and do block," he told mediapersons.

The attackers fled the building and could not be traced yet.

France raised its security alert to the highest level and reinforced security at places of worship, shops, media offices, and transportation, said reports.

Charlie Hebdo is a French satirical weekly newspaper, featuring cartoons, reports, polemics and jokes.

It had earlier courted controversy with its take on news and current affairs.
