Three days after the deadly attack, despite two days of stalking, the Kouachi brothers French jihadists suspected of carrying out the massacre at Charlie Hebdo , are still at large Friday prayer day in mosques that will honor the twelve dead worst attack for more than a half-century France. Since Thursday, the research elite forces are concentrated in a vast rural and wooded area some 80 kilometers north-east of Paris, half way between the Aisne and the Oise. The imposing Police Raid device and gendarmes of the GIGN, who combed through several corners, was reduced overnight. But the helicopters still hovered several hours in the dark, and members of the security forces, armed and hooded, continued to control many axes in the region.
It is in this area that the two fugitives, Sharif and Said Kouachi, 32 and 34, were formally recognized Thursday morning by the manager of a gas station they assaulted near Villers-Cotterets. Openly, they were armed with Kalashnikovs and had a rocket launcher in their car, according to CCTV. Another shooter is also wanted by the police: that of a shooting in which a municipal police was killed Thursday morning in a Paris suburb. An attack unrelated “at this stage” with the attack against “Charlie”, has insisted the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
Kouachi brothers, born in Paris to Algerian parents are jihadists whose name is written “for years” on the US terrorist blacklist, according to a US source. Sharif is well known French anti-terrorist services: nicknamed Abu Issen, he was part of the “chain of Buttes Chaumont” which aimed to send jihadists in Iraq, where he himself intended to go in 2005 before being arrested. He was convicted on these charges in 2008 to three years in prison, 18 months suspended. The survey painted at this time the portrait of a young animated, according to testimony from the “rage against the infidels” and already evoked its willingness to act in France. His eldest, Said, “formally recognized” by the authorities as a “perpetrator” of Wednesday’s bombing morning Charlie Hebdo seemed more discreet. But according to a US official, he traveled to Yemen in 2011 to train in weapons, training from a member of al-Qaeda in Yemen.
Bombings major
A total of nine people were taken into custody in the bombing investigation. The slaughter in the offices of the satirical weekly, regularly threatened since 2006 and the publication of cartoons of Mohammed, has not been claimed. But its authors, who shouted “Allah Akbar” and “has avenged the prophet” in the attack, have been hailed as “heroes” by the jihadist group active Islamic state in Syria and Iraq. Jihadist groups are considered a real threat by Western authorities. “A group of terrorists of al-Qaeda in Syria is planning large-scale attacks against the West,” warned Thursday the head of the British domestic intelligence service (MI5) Andrew Parker.
A very strong emotion seized France after the attack that killed included some of the best known French cartoonists like Wolinski or Cabu, father of “Beauf” and “Grand Duduche.” But Charb, Tignous and Honoré, historical “Charlie” known for their irreverent cartoons, economic columnist Bernard Maris, two police officers, a columnist, a proofreader, a guest of writing and a maintenance agent. After the national day of mourning, marked by a slogan – “I’m Charlie” – and a minute of silence that froze the country Thursday noon, “the imams of all the mosques in France” were invited by the major federations Muslims condemn “with the greatest firmness violence and terrorism” in the Friday prayers. Sunday, it will be the turn of “republican marches” to the call of the main “republican parties” from all sides, unions, associations and major Muslim federations. But R 20;national unity” was announced cracked, Marine Le Pen denounced “exclusion” of the National Front, against which the UMP is also high.
The tribute exceeded borders. In Washington, US President Barack Obama on Thursday night and went to the Embassy of France to write “Vive la France!” in the book of condolences. Survivors of writing “Charlie” Wednesday decided to release a new number printed in a million copies. “It’s not bullshit is going to win,” he told the ER Patrick Pelloux, a columnist for the weekly.
