Hebdo yesterday and killed 12 people, i
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

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.
