Officials said late Wednesday that the suspects in an assault on a satirical newspaper in Paris had been identified as two brothers, Said and Cherif Kouachi, 32 and 34, and Hamyd Mourad, 18. Report NYT
A manhunt for the suspects continues across Paris after the brazen and methodical slaughter at the paper, Charlie Hebdo, left 12 people dead, including the top editor, prominent cartoonists and police officers. It was among the deadliest attacks in postwar France.
The assault threatened to deepen the distrust of France’s large Muslim population, coming at a time when Islamic radicalism has become a central concern of security officials across Europe.
