France has raised an anti-terrorism alert after 11 people were killed and 10 injured in shooting at the Paris offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

The office of the Prime Minister in a statement on Wednesday said France had raised anti-terrorism alert in greater Paris area to the highest level after the shooting.

Police spokesman said 11 people were killed and 10 injured in shooting at the Paris offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

Charlie Hebdo was already the target of a firebombing in 2011 after publishing cartoons deriding Prophet Mohammad on its cover.

The spokesman said that five of the injured people were in a critical condition.
