One of the suspects in the Paris attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine has been killed and the two others are in custody, a two senior U.S. counterterrorism officials told NBC News.
Authorities identified the three men as Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, both French and in their early 30s, and 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, whose nationality wasn't immediately clear.
One of the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the investigation, told The Associated Press that the men were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network. And Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of terrorism charges for helping funnel fighters to Iraq's insurgency and sentenced to 18 months in prison.

In past times, if convicted of patricide, the French would chop off the right hand of the convicted before taking him directly to be guillotined.
They’ve got it in their DNA. Time to bring it back.
Good thing we are smarter than that here in the USA.

I’m impressed. How’d you get all that tongue in that cheek?
“linked to a Yemeni terrorist neytwork”
There goes that “lone wolves” thing
At that time our gutless press wouldn't show the picture of Muhammed some Dutchman drew, but published the Abu Ghraib photos and endangered our troops in Iraq. - Tom
The more I am reading about these guys’ past, they should’ve been either locked up or kicked out of France LONG AGO. ‘PC’ kept authorities from detaining them, and I’m sure that same phenomenon is happening here as well. Maj. Hasan comes to mind. The initials ‘SOA’ on his calling card was a clue; ‘Soldier of Allah’.. This is a watershed moment for being nice to terrorists for ‘PC’ sake. Game over.
The perps left their ID cards in the car in case one of em got shot and left behind. When they got out of the getaway car they left the cards. The Frenchies didn’t have to do much Clouseau work.
The killers left their ID’s in the getaway car they abandoned? Am I stupid enough to believe this, or were those planted to throw off the authorities?
GOOD!
Great Point, Geron.
Amazing... 18 months didn’t reform him?
Time for a pogrom!! Round up all the Arabs into sections, then seal them off. Place the Special Forces inside, then have them brutally destroy EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Take no prisoners. Women, children, I don’t care. We must destroy Islam with every last resource available to us.
I’m guessing to that they were watching them; how else could they have located them that fast?
No doubt...
lolz
That begs the question, how did they let them attack the paper then? If that’s the case, somebody’s gonna get it.
was probably on radar ... The French have excellent intelligence services (imho). Don’t have an answer for your question though. Am clueless.
There need to be two very public executions.
If they were sent to Gitmo you know obama would release them!
