The French president, Francois Hollande, has paid tribute to the victims of the terrorist attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris.
Speaking in the aftermath of the police operation to release hostages held at the supermarket, President Hollande confirmed that four people had been killed in what he described as a "dreadful antisemitic attack".
He praised the courage of the police who took part in the operation at the store, and at the separate incident at Dammartin outside Paris, and made a plea for unity in the face of Islamist terrorism.
He confirmed that he would be attending a unity rally on Sunday “to stand up for France’s values”.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are also expected to join the march.
The four hostages were killed as police ended an armed siege at the Hypercacher, near Porte de Vincennes, in eastern Paris, on Friday afternoon.
The hostage-taker, Amedy Coulibaly, was killed by police.
Two police officers were injured in the raid.
It took place at the same time as police stormed a printing works in Dammartin where brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, suspected of killing 12 people at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, had been surrounded by security forces.
Fifteen hostages were reported to have been rescued from the supermarket.
