THE HOSTAGE OF THE KOUACHI BROTHERS TELLS HIS STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE SIEGE
 "I saw a Kalashnikov and a rocket launcher and, then, I understood" Michel Catalano, the owner of the Dammartin print works, who was held hostage by the Kouachi brothers says he was more concerned about his employee Lilian Lapere, who remained hidden throughout the ordeal. He said the terrorists asked him three times if he was alone and he replied he was each time. Lilian, 26, was hidden in a box throughout. Showing remarkable composure, he also said: "I have got to get on with life. I have a business to run.". Michel was only held hostage for an hour before they let him go but Lilian remained hidden upstairs throughout.. "I saw them coming. I saw a Kalashnikov and a rocket launcher. I felt as if I was in a film. I turned round and told him (Liliane) to hide. I knew it was too late for me to hide. I walked calmly towards them. They were never aggressive," said Mr Catalano.
