He said when he arrived at the business his client came out to meet him with what he took to be a policeman, dressed in black combat gear, with a bullet-proof vest."

“We all shook hands and my client told me to leave.” Didier added that the man he took to be the policeman said: “Go, we don’t kill civilians”. He added “I thought was strange."

Re: French magazine staff killed because of comic



Official: 2 suspects in French standoff came out shooting

By LORI HINNANT and ELAINE GANLEY
Jan. 9, 2015 11:54 AM EST

This photo provided by The Paris Police Prefecture Thursday, Jan.8, 2015 shows the suspects Cherif, left, and Said Kouachi in the newspaper attack along with a plea for witnesses. Police hunted Thursday for two heavily armed men, one with possible links to al-Qaida, in the methodical killing of 12 people at a satirical newspaper that caricatured the Prophet Muhammed.

PARIS (AP) — A security official says the two brothers suspected in the Charlie Hebdo massacre came out firing, prompting the assault on the building where they had holed up with a hostage.

The official was not authorized to speak about the sensitive operations and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Officials say the brothers died in the assault.

Another official, police union representative Christophe Crepin, said it appeared that the gunman who took hostages at a kosher market had also died in a nearly simultaneous raid there.

Crepin spoke to LCI televison.

By Peter Allen and Simon Tomlinson and Martin Robinson and Claire Duffin and Hannah Roberts and Emine Sinmaz In Longpont For Mailonline and David Williams for the Daily Mail
Published: 08:02 GMT, 9 January 2015 | Updated: 17:20 GMT, 9 January 2015

Two hostage sieges came to a bloody and dramatic climax today after police stormed two buildings in France, killing the Charlie Hebdo gunmen and an accomplice.

At the first stand-off, Al Qaeda brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi were shot dead by special forces as they tried to fight their way out of a print works.

Their hostage, named as Michel Catalano, is believed to have been rescued alive.

Moments later, explosions were heard at a second siege in Paris where a fellow jihadi was threatening to kill captives if police stormed the Kouachis.

At least one hostage is believed to have survived that stand-off, at a kosher supermarket, in what appears to have been a co-ordinated strike by police.

However, there are reports four captives had been killed.

The gunmen, Amedy Coulibay, who was suspected of killing a police officer yesterday, was reportedly shot dead by police.

Gunfire and explosions had been heard at the first hostage siege after police had surrounded the gunmen at an industrial estate 25 miles from Paris.

The siege reached a bloody climax when the brothers reportedly 'came out firing' after an nine-hour stand-off.

They had earlier told police negotiators: 'We are ready to die as martyrs'.

At around 4.30pm, people living nearby reported hearing three or four load explosions followed by several gunshots.

More explosions followed and smoke could be seen rising from the building. Others reported seeing ambulances race to the scene.

A short time later three French special forces officers could be seen on the roof of the building.

Then, at around 5.30 pm, three large helicopters arrived at the scene and landed on the roof. The hostage was named as Michel Catalano.

His family were gathered at their detached home in the nearby village of Othis as the siege came to a dramatic end in Dammartin-en-Goele.

Bloody climax: A huge ball of fire erupts amid gunfire and explosions at a print works where the Charlie Hebdo gunmen were holding a hostage

Explosions were seen moments later at a second hostage siege in Paris where an accomplice was threatening to kill captives if police stormed the Kouachis

Police were last night stationed outside the property, which has a private swimming pool.

One said: 'The family are all here. They have come to support Mrs Catalano. They are all gathered together but they are too upset to speak.'

MailOnline understands that police had earlier scrambled phone signals in the area after the gunmen contacted Coulibay while inside the building.

Coulibay is believed behind the murder of a police officer yesterday and a new hostage crisis ongoing in Paris today.

The third hostage-taker, named as Amedy Coulibay, 32, this afternoon took at least six captives at a kosher grocery, leaving two people dead.

Police say Coulibay is demanding that the Kouachi brothers be allowed to go free in return for his captives.

Revelations that a call was made by the Kouachis suggests they may have instructed Coulibay to carry out today's atrocity to leverage their escape.

There were reports of another alert near the Eiffel Tower, with police seen training their guns down the stairs of a Metro station, but it was a false alarm.

Local media reports that the brothers met Coulibay while in prison.

He is believed to be a fellow member of the Buttes Chaumont – a gang from the 19th arrondissement of Paris that sent jihadists to fight in Iraq.

The Kouachis were cornered in Dammartin-en-Goele, around 25 miles from the capital, this morning after leading police on a dramatic car chase.

After exchanging gunfire with officers, they fled on foot into printing works where they are holding a hostage, believed to be a 26-year-old male.

How three days of terror unfolded after gunmen first stormed the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris on Wednesday

A salesman called Didier later told how he was supposed to meet a client called Michel at the print works, but was instead met by one of the gunmen.

He said he shook hands with the militant because he had identified himself as a police officer and was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle.

He said: 'When I arrived, my client came out with an armed man who said he was from the police.

'My client told me to leave so I left,' Didier said, identifying the man he was to meet with as Michel.'

He said the black-clad man who was wearing a bullet-proof vest told him: 'Leave, we don't kill civilians anyhow'.

'That really struck me,' Didier added. 'So I decided to call the police. I guess it was one of the terrorists.

'It could have been a policeman if he hadn't told me "we don't kill civilians". They were heavily armed like elite police.'

'I didn't know it was a hostage situation, or a robbery. I just knew something wasn't quite right. I think I am going to go and see my colleagues and play the lottery because I was very lucky this morning.'

Meanwhile, a worker in a nearby building told how he barricaded the doors as the hostage crisis unfolded.

He said: 'None of us feel safe. We can hear the helicopters. It is terrifying.'

One of the pupils inside the Dammartin-en-Goele school said by phone from inside: 'We're scared. We've called our parents to make sure they're OK.

'We've been told we have to stay inside. All the lights have been switched off.'

WORKER TELLS OF HIS LUCKY ESCAPE AFTER SHAKING HANDS WITH HOSTAGE GUNMAN

A salesman has told how he shook hands with one of the gunman when they arrived at the print works thinking he was a police officer.

He said: 'When I arrived my client came out with an armed man who said he was from the police.

'My client told me to leave so I left,' Didier said, identifying the man he was to meet with as Michel.
'I was in front of the door. I shook Michel's hand and I shook the hand of one of the terrorists.'
He said the black-clad man who was wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying what looked like a Kalashnikov rifle told him: 'Leave, we don't kill civilians anyhow'.
'That really struck me,' Didier added. 'So I decided to call the police. I guess it was one of the terrorists.
'It could have been a policeman if he hadn't told me "we don't kill civilians". They were heavily armed like elite police.'
'I didn't know it was a hostage situation, or a robbery. I just knew something wasn't quite right.
'I think I am going to go and see my colleagues and play the lottery because I was very lucky this morning.'

Snipers had their weapons trained on the building and helicopters were hovering overhead as negotiations were underway with the Islamic fanatics.

Runways have been closed at Charles de Gaulle airport, around five miles away over fears the gunmen have rocket launchers that can down planes.

Police confirmed a hostage had been taken and that officers are 'trying to establish contact' with the suspects.

The family of Michel Catalano, the director of the firm at the centre of the siege told Le Figaro newspaper that they had not spoken to him since this morning and feared he may be the hostage.

Mr Catalano and his wife Veronique live in Othis, less than four miles from the scene.

After a meeting with President Hollande when news of the siege broke, politician Nicolas Dupont-Aignan said: 'It's time to terrorise the terrorists.'

Referring to Islam, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said: 'We are in a war against terrorists, we're not in a war with religion.'

An Interior Ministry source confirmed that the men had said they were 'ready to die as martyrs'.

Prior to the standoff, the suspects hijacked a Peugeot 206 from a woman in Ermenonville Forest, close to the village of Montagny-Sainte-Felicite, agyer abandoning their Renualt Clio.

A teacher named Charlene Blondelle was driving to work in the morning when she saw two men with guns stop the vehicle in front of her.

It was only when she got to work at the village school that she realised the two heavily-armed men were the Kouachi brothers.

Jean Paul Douet, the mayor of the village, said Charlene saw the two men force the woman out of the car and sit in the back seat.

It is thought that she was later let out of the car as the men continued their journey to Dammartin-en-Goele.

Both women are with police officers in Nanteuil-le-Haudouin. It is not thought that the woman sustained any injuries.

Mr Douet told MailOnline: 'The car was taken at around 8.10am. The village teacher arrived at her school to see a car being hijacked in front of her.

'She saw their weapons, and in particular their rocket-propelled grenade launcher.'

French media reported the brothers were in a car when they came upon her and abandoned that to use hers instead.

She recognised them as the wanted men, a police source said.

A spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior said there was an exchange of gunfire with police who were manning a roadblock on the N2 motorway as the brother sped towards Paris.

He told France Info radio that no-one was injured in the clash.

Holed up: The gunmen escaped on foot into a small printing business (above) called Creating Trend Discovery, just before 9am GMT

Terror in the midst: Dammartin-en-Goele is in lockdown, with children in its three schools being kept inside for their own protection

Dozens of police then pursued the brothers along the National 2 highway, ending in Dammartin-en-Goele, close to the area where the huge manhunt had been focused on a forest overnight.

They escaped on foot with a hostage into a small printing business named Creating Trend Discovery, just before 10am (9am GMT).

Residents were warned on the town's official website to stay indoors and pupils were being kept inside school.

Natoly Ratsimbazasy, a hairdresser in Dammartan-en-Goele, said the town - of 6,000 inhabitants - was deserted.

He told MailOnline: 'It is very quiet in the centre. We have all been told to stay indoors and away from the windows. They have sealed off the area. We are all very scared, especially for the children. We don't know how this is all going to end.'

A restaurateur in the town said: 'It is insane what is happening, I can't believe it.'

Universities and schools in the surroundings of the hostage crisis are shut for the day.

Student Nishanth Selvakumer, 20, said: 'Every one is so shocked. There is not much work in Dammartain so most people work on the industrial estate.

'In the village, they have been told to stay in their homes and stay away from the windows. The schools are all shut and the universities too.'

Rayane Bouallayuer, 18, said his 11-year-old sister and his father were barricaded into the school.

'My sister went to school at 8am but at 9am we saw on TV that the suspects came here so my father went to get her. Now they cannot leave.'

'The teachers have spoken to the kids and explained to them what happened in Paris. Yesterday they had a minutes silence at school but I think today they are very scared. Some of them were crying.

'My family is Muslim but these men are not real Muslims. They are not like me. They do not represent us. Now it is going to get much worse for us real Muslims in France. '

Carole Morais, who works in the town hall, said: 'We're locked in and following events on the internet'.

The hunt also affected flights at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, which closed two runways to arrivals to avoid interfering in the standoff or endangering planes.

The dramatic development came after thousands of police and soldiers had focused their hunt for the gunmen in a nearby forest amid fears they were planning a final 'spectacular' before capture.

The search for the gunmen last night focused on a cave in a vast forest in northern France, but had turned up nothing.

The pair left behind their identity cards in the Citroen they used for the massacre – a move which appeared deliberate, intelligence specialists said.

There was also no sign of the AK-47s and rocket launchers which they had earlier been seen with, suggesting they had taken them into the forest.

Police now fear they could take hostages or are planning a final 'spectacular' before capture as the search enters its third day.

Meanwhile, shots rang out close to the Porte de Vincennes in Paris as another hostage crisis unfolded.

'There is a hostage situation - shots have been fired,' said a Paris police spokesman, who said up to five people were originally being held in Vincennes and there were 'believed to be two fatalities'.

French police have now named the suspected hostage taker as Amedy Coulibaly, 33, while his girlfriend, Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, is also believed to be involved.

SUSPECTED THIRD HOSTAGE-TAKER A 'CLOSE ASSOCIATE' OF THE KOUACHI BROTHERS

The hostage taker in a new terror attack on Paris is a close associate of the Kouachi brothers, who killed 12 people in the Charlie Hebdo massacre two days ago.

Two people have been killed in a Kosher store in eastern Paris where a 'heavily armed' Islamic terrorist is currently holding hostages, police believe.

Sources in the Paris force said the suspected murderer was Amedy Coulibay, 32, who is wearing body armour and brandishing two Kalashnikov automatic weapons.

It's thought that he is of Senegalese origin and attended the Addawa Mosque in Paris with the Kouachi brothers.

As part of a jihadist cell with Said and Cherif Kouachi, he was involved in the failed prison break attempt of Smain Ait Ali Belkacem - the mastermind behind a wave of bombings in France in 1995 which killed eight people and wounded 120.

Coulibay, who was himself jailed in 2010 for his involvement in the plot, has a long history of both petty and serious crimes.

The only boy born in a family of 10 in Juvisy, Essonne, he first came to police attention as a 17-year-old delinquent.

Convictions for theft and drug offences followed. In September 2002 in Orleans, Loiret, he was arrested for the armed robbery of a bank.

It's believed he became involved with the younger of the Kouachi brothers, Cherif, when he was part of a jihadist recruitment ring in Paris that sent fighters to join the conflict in Iraq.

Kouachi was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison.

He is said to be working with a woman called Hayat Boumeddiene, 27, who is also said to be 'armed and dangerous'.

Coulibaly is thought to have become radicalised when he came under the influence of Djamel Beghal, a French Algerian convicted of terrorism.

Beghal was once accused of being Osama Bin Laden's main European recruiter and has been linked with Cherif Kouachi.

Coulibaly admitted to police he saw Beghal every three weeks but purely for 'religious instruction.' It is understood that he married Hyat Boumeddiene in a religious ceremony after she waited four years for him to come out of jail following his conviction for armed robbery.

The couple were never married in a civil ceremony – the only marriage legally accepted in France.

Pictured: Police officer Clarissa Jean-Philippe was gunned down as she attended a routine traffic accident in Montrouge at 8am yesterday

Coulibay is believed to be the one responsible for shooting a policewoman dead in south Paris on Thursday.

The revelation has led police to link it to the murder of 12 people around the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine on Wednesday.

Clarissa Jean-Philippe, 27, was unarmed and directing traffic in Montrouge, in south Paris, when she was gunned down by Coulibay, who was still wearing body armour and using an automatic assault rifle.

The murderer has been identified by police who said he belonged to the Buttes Chaumont network, which sent Jihadi fighters to Iraq.

'He was in the same Buttes Chaumount cell as the Kouachi brothers,' said a source close to the investigation. 'He was friends of both of them.'

Two of Coulibay relatives were arrested in nearby Grigny during a police raid this morning.

Like the Kouachis, he is known to have been radicalised by an Islamic preacher in Paris, before expressing a wish to fight in Iraq or Syria.

It came as Prime Minister Manuel Valls admitted the Kouachi brothers were on the radar of the intelligence services and 'were likely' to have been under surveillance before the atrocity.

Yesterday, the brothers abandoned their car near the village of Abbaye de Longpont shortly after robbing a petrol station yesterday.

Anti-terror officers found a jihadi flag and a Molotov cocktail in the Renault Clio the gunmen hijacked to escape the French capital – and two men fitting their descriptions were seen running into the Foret de Retz, which covers an area larger than Paris.

A petrol station attendant in Villers-Cotterets told police he had seen Kalashnikovs (AK-47s) and rocket launchers in the vehicle which had sped away after the men had stolen food and water.

There are fewer than 300 residents in Longpont and armed officers were carrying out house-to-house searches as helicopters with thermal imagery equipment capable of identifying human bodies among the trees were called in.

Last night, interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said a total of nine people were now in custody and more than 90 witnesses had been interviewed.

When and why that surveillance was dropped were two of the many questions being asked yesterday as a senior American counter-terrorism official confirmed that the brothers were on the US no-fly list.

But officials were tight-lipped about what else they know about them, including whether they fought in the Middle East with extremist groups.

CNN reported that the US 'was given information from the French intelligence agency that Said Kouachi traveled to Yemen as late as 2011 on behalf of the Al Qaeda affiliate there'.

The network said Said received a variety of weapons training from Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), including on how to fire weapons. It added: 'It is also possible Said was trained in bomb making.'

In 2008, Cherif Kouachi was sentenced to three years in jail for his association with an underground organisation.

'While in jail, he came under the influence of the one-time British-based terrorist Djemal Beghal, who was sentenced to ten years in prison by the French courts for terrorist offenders.

But despite the security services knowing the men were radicalised and suspected of having been trained in military tactics in east Yemen by Al Qaeda, they were not under surveillance on Wednesday.

Last night there had already been several revenge attacks, with shots fired at a Muslim prayer room in the southern town of Port-la-Nouvelle.

A Muslim family was shot at in their car in Caromb, in southern Vaucluse, while 'Death to Arabs' was daubed on a mosque in Poitiers, central France.

A few years ago, an extremist in Pakistan fought to have me sentenced to death because Facebook refused to ban content about Mohammed that offended him.
We stood up for this because different voices -- even if they're sometimes offensive -- can make the world a better and more interesting place.
Facebook has always been a place where people across the world share their views and ideas. We follow the laws in each country, but we never let one country or group of people dictate what people can share across the world.
Yet as I reflect on yesterday's attack and my own experience with extremism, this is what we all need to reject -- a group of extremists trying to silence the voices and opinions of everyone else around the world.
I won't let that happen on Facebook. I'm committed to building a service where you can speak freely without fear of violence.
My thoughts are with the victims, their families, the people of France and the people all over the world who choose to share their views and ideas, even when that takes courage. ‪#‎JeSuisCharlie‬

Gunmen killed in bloody end to French sieges

Charlie Hebdo suspects went down firing; Paris police storm Jewish store

Elite French police stormed a printworks and a Jewish supermarket yesterday, killing two brothers wanted for the Charlie Hebdo attack and an apparent accomplice who had taken hostages in two separate sieges that traumatised the nation.

Explosions rocked a small printing firm in the village of Dammartin-en-Goele, northeast of Paris, and smoke poured from the building after the heavily armed forces mounted their assault as night fell.

The two Islamists launched a desperate escape bid, charging out of the building firing at the security forces before being cut down in their tracks, a security source said.

Meanwhile, in the east of Paris, gunfire erupted as police stormed a Jewish store, where at least one armed assailant had seized five hostages after two people were killed in a gun battle. The gunman was also killed, security sources said, as terrified hostages were seen running out of the store.

The dramatic climax to the two stand-offs brought to an end more than 48 hours of fear and uncertainty in the country that began when the two brothers slaughtered 12 people at Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine, in the bloodiest attack on French soil in half a century.

The hostage-taker in the eastern Porte de Vincennes area of Paris was suspected of gunning down a policewoman in southern Paris on Thursday and knew at least one of the Charlie Hebdo gunmen.

French police released mugshots of the man, Amedy Coulibaly, 32, as well as a woman named as 26-year-old Hayat Boumeddiene, also wanted over the shooting of the police officer.

The Porte de Vincennes area was swamped with police who shut down the city's ringroad as well as schools and shops in the area.

Residents were ordered to stay indoors.

In Dammartin-en-Goele, only 12km from Paris' main Charles de Gaulle airport, French elite forces had deployed snipers on roofs and helicopters buzzed low over the small printing business where the Charlie Hebdo suspects had been cornered early yesterday

Police sources said there was a "connection" between the supermarket gunman and Cherif and Said Kouachi, accused of carrying out the massacre at Charlie Hebdo.

Ahead of the stand-off, police had already exchanged fire with the pair - orphans of Algerian origin - in a high-speed car chase.

One witness described coming face-to-face at the printing firm with one of the suspects, dressed in black, wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying what looked like a Kalashnikov.

The salesman told France Info radio that one of the brothers said: "Leave, we don't kill civilians anyhow."

Schools in the area were evacuated and residents barricaded themselves indoors as the high-profile standoff with police unfolded.

Prior to the standoff, the suspects had hijacked a car from a woman who said she recognised the brothers.

The spectacular attacks came as it emerged the brothers had been on a US terror watch list "for years".

And as fears spread in the wake of the attack, the head of Britain's domestic spy agency MI5 warned that Islamist militants were planning other "mass casualty attacks against the West" and that intelligence services may be powerless to stop them.

As a politically divided and crisis-hit France sought to pull together in the wake of the tragedy, the head of the country's Muslim community - the largest in Europe - urged imams to condemn terrorism at Friday prayers.

In a highly unusual step, French President Francois Hollande met far-right leader Marine Le Pen at the Elysee Palace later yesterday, as France geared up for a "Republican march" tomorrow expected to draw hundreds of thousands.

Interior Minsiter Bernard Cazeneuve announced that a total of 88,000 security forces were mobilised across the country and that an international meeting on terrorism would take place in Paris on Sunday.

Meanwhile, questions mounted as to how a pair well-known for jihadist views could have slipped through the net and attack Charlie Hebdo.

Cherif Kouachi, 32, was a known jihadist convicted in 2008 for involvement in a network sending fighters to Iraq.

Said, 34, has been "formally identified" as the main attacker in Wednesday's bloodbath. Both brothers were born in Paris to Algerian parents.

A senior US administration official told Agence France-Presse that one of the two brothers was believed to have trained with Al-Qaeda in Yemen, while another source said that the pair had been on a US terror watch list "for years".

The brothers were barred from flying into the United States, the officials said.

The Islamic State group's radio praised them as "heroes" and Somalia's Shebab militants, al-Qaeda's main affiliate in Africa, praised the massacre as a "heroic" act.

Refusing to be cowed, the controversial Charlie Hebdo magazine plans a print run of one million copies instead of its usual 60,000, as journalists from all over the French media landscape piled in to help out the decimated staff.

"It's very hard. We are all suffering, with grief, with fear, but we will do it anyway because stupidity will not win," said columnist Patrick Pelloux.

Brothers of hate who turned killers in Paris terror attack

As investigators probe the suspected gunmen responsible for the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris, revelations emerge about their path to jihad

Less is known about his elder sibling, whose ID card was found in the getaway car used by the gunmen in Wednesday's Paris attack. But US officials said both were on the US no-fly list and the older brother had travelled to Yemen, where he met the late al-Qaeda preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, according to a senior Yemeni intelligence source.

The Kouachi brothers - 32-year-old Cherif and 34-year-old Said, 34 - are the targets of a huge manhunt after the precision attack that killed 12 people at Charlie Hebdo, a satirical weekly that lampooned radical Muslims and the Prophet Mohammed. Witnesses said the gunmen claimed allegiance to al-Qaeda's offshoot in Yemen.

Both Kouachi brothers - the Paris-born children of Algerian parents - were already known to American and French counterterrorism authorities.

Cherif, a former pizza deliveryman, had appeared in a 2005 French television documentary on Islamic extremism and was sentenced to 18 months' jail in 2008 for trying to join fighters battling in Iraq.

It was the teachings of a firebrand Muslim preacher that put him on the path to jihad in his rough-and-tumble neighbourhood of northeastern Paris, Kouachi said in the documentary.

The cleric "told me that [holy] texts prove the benefits of suicide attacks", Kouachi said. "It's written in the texts that it's good to die as a martyr."

Reporters who covered the 2008 trial, which exposed a recruiting pipeline for Muslim holy war in the multi-ethnic and working-class 19th arrondissement of Paris, recalled a skinny young defendant who appeared very nervous in court. Cherif Kouachi's lawyer said at the time that his client had fallen in with the wrong crowd.

During the trial, Kouachi was said to have undergone only minimal combat training - going jogging in a Paris park to shape up and learning how a Kalashnikov rifle works by studying a sketch.

He was described as a reluctant holy warrior, relieved to have been stopped by French counter-espionage officials from taking a Syria-bound flight that was ultimately supposed to lead him to the battlefields of Iraq.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, however, said on Thursday that Kouachi had been described by fellow would-be jihadis at the time as "violently anti-Semitic".

Imprisonment changed him, his former attorney Vincent Ollivier told Le Parisien newspaper in a story published on Thursday.

Kouachi became unresponsive and began growing a beard, the lawyer said, adding that he wondered whether the stint behind bars transformed his client into a ticking time bomb.

There was a time, though, when he had very different interests. Footage in the documentary, part of a prestigious French public television series titled Evidence for the Prosecution, shows him in 2004, when, according to the narrator, the lanky young man in a black T-shirt with extremely close-cropped hair and a chunky wristwatch was keener on spending time with girls than on going to the mosque. He appears relaxed and smiling as he pals around with friends.

At one point, with his baseball cap worn backwards, Kouachi belts out some rap music and breaks into a joyful dance.

After he was released from prison, he worked in a supermarket's fish section in the Paris suburbs for six months starting in 2009. Supervisors said he gave no cause for concern. Around then, he married a devout Muslim woman who ran activities for toddlers in a creche. The couple lived in Gennevilliers, in the Hauts-de-Seine department.

Le Monde newspaper reported that in 2010 Kouachi was placed under surveillance and detained when investigators discovered a plan to break out of jail the mastermind of the 1995 bombing at a Paris train station, which injured 30 people. Kouachi was ultimately released with no charges ever brought.

Much less has become public about the older brother, Said, but Cazeneuve said the jobless resident of the city of Reims was also known to authorities, despite having never been prosecuted, because he was "on the periphery" of the illegal activities his younger sibling was involved in.

As the stand-off continued, members of the media packed the top of a nearby hill to gain a better view of the unfolding drama. Photo: Reuters

While US officials said the brothers were on the no-fly list that includes known or suspected terrorists and extremists, they were tight-lipped about what else they know about them, including whether they fought in the Middle East with extremist groups.

A French security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said American authorities had shared intelligence with France indicating that Said had travelled to Yemen several years ago for training. French authorities were seeking to verify the information, the official said.

A Yemeni source said Said was in Yemen for a number of months in 2011 as one of the foreigners who entered the country for religious studies. During his time there, the source said, he met Awlaki.

In Reims, about 145km northeast of Paris, Said frequented a prayer room on the ground floor of an apartment building, according to the local imam, Abdul-Hamid al-Khalifa.

Khalifa described Said as someone who wore traditional North Africa clothes to prayers and did not mix much - if at all - with other worshippers. "Typically, he'd come late to prayers and leave right when they were done," he said.

If French authorities are now hunting for the right suspects, it may be because of Said, Cazeneuve hinted. In the stolen Citroen abandoned by the gunmen on Wednesday, police found a French identity card in the older Kouachi's name. After the attackers dumped the first car, they grabbed another, and Cazeneuve said the elder Kouachi had been identified as "the aggressor" by witnesses shown his photo.

A third suspect identified by French authorities in the attack turned himself in on Wednesday night. Mourad Hamyd, 18, surrendered at a police station after learning his name had been linked to the case in the news, said Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor. She did not specify his relationship to the Kouachis but French authorities have gone on to say that he faces no charges over Wednesday's attack.

But analysts expressed fears that the unanswered question of whether the Charlie Hebdo attackers were acting on their own, or carrying out orders from a superior elsewhere meant that the possibility of other conspirators could not be ruled out yet.

The web of associations, typical of contemporary militant activism, complicates the task of investigators looking to establish the origins of the attack.

"It is impossible that an operation on the scale of the one that led to the massacre at Charlie Hebdo was not sponsored by Daesh [an alternative name for Islamic State],"said Jean-Pierre Filiu, an expert on radical Islam at Paris's Sciences Po university.

However, experts are split over the attackers' degree of professionalism.

Some of their tactics indicated a familiarity with weapons, but they were unclear of the exact address of the magazine they were targeting and unfamiliar with its security systems. Training by al-Qaeda and its affiliates has always stressed thorough prior reconnaissance.

Analysts say the more likely scenario is one involving a small number of principal actors who were supported by the broader network built up over decades to execute a plan they had envisaged for almost as long.

if they were to live, it would take the liberal justice system in france a dozen years to prosecute and convict these maggots. and the worst sentence would only be life imprisonment in a friendly, protective, and well fed prison system.

what "torture" technique the cia used on these maggots is the most appropriate, even though the spooks may not extract all the useful info out of them. at least, it's a form of justifiable punishment that cannot be realized if the maggots are subjected through the civilian justice system.

88000 police, hundreds surround the shop, they let the woman escape in the confusion.
Is this a joke.

Now, 26-year-old Hayat Boumeddiene is on the run – France’s most wanted woman.
Coulibaly died in a hail of bullets along with four hostages in the storming of the Jewish supermarket.
But Boumeddiene may have eluded capture during the confusion as the hostages were running away, police said.
