Paris Attack Suspect Dead, Two in Custody
NBC News ^ | 7 Jan 2015

Posted on 01/07/2015 3:43:52 PM PST by mandaladon

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.

The Associated Press quoted Cherif Kouachi in 2008 as saying he'd been motivated by outrage at images of torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib.

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?

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.

That begs the question, how did they let them attack the paper then? If that’s the case, somebody’s gonna get it.

•someone provided details about the time, location, and the identities of the targeted victims attending today's editorial meeting to these murderers. More are accountable for today's attacks...particularly those involved in betraying the trust of these victims.

Yeah, these F'ers didn't just "get lucky"...it was apparently a lunchtime meeting (if 11:30 is lunchtime in France?)...I wondered if it was a catered "working lunch" where the food is delivered?

Just guessing of course - but they managed to pretty much fully accomplish their mission...lone wolf dumbasses almost never do that (see Squeaky Fromme).
