See Photo - Suspects identified after 12 killed, Man hunt in paris.




Brothers Cherif Kouachi (left), 32, & Said Kouachi (right), 34, both from Paris, have been identified as the men who stormed into the office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo yesterday and killed 12 people, including two police officers. A third suspect, 18 year old Hamyd Mourad, who didn't fire any shorts, surrendered to police late last night after seeing his name circulating on social media. The two brothers, who are said to have been trained in Yemen as assassins, are still at large.

One of the suspects, Cherif Kouachi & 6 others were arrested and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment for terrorism in Paris in May 2008. All seven men were accused of sending about a dozen young Frenchmen to join Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, after funneling them through radical religious establishments in Syria and Egypt. French authorities believed Kouachi had been planning to go to Syria for training in 2005.


Corentin Vacheret, pictured, said, "When I heard the news I was shocked. These journalists are famous in France, especially among people who value the liberty of expression. The fact that they were killed in the most insane circumstances is just sickening. I am not a fan of big protests, but I wanted to express that we are not afraid, that this is not going to make us renounce our liberty of expression."

The streets of Paris filled with people paying tribute to the victims of the deadly attack on French satirical magazine #CharlieHebdo. The three images here were captured by a CNN photographer... #JeSuisCharlie
