- Story Text: The Paris prosecutor's office said four people are to be questioned by a French court on Tuesday (January 20) for suspected links with militant Islamist gunmen who attacked the offices of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a kosher supermarket, killing seventeen people.
French police arrested 12 people last Friday suspected of helping the gunmen and judicial sources said the eight men and four women were detained in the greater Paris area.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said last week most of the 12 suspects were known to police for common crimes.
Investigators are still hunting for possible accomplices of Amedy Coulibaly, the gunman who killed a policewoman in Montrouge, a Paris suburb and four other people at a kosher supermarket on Jan 9.
Belgian police killed two men and detained 13 suspects last Thursday in raids on an Islamist group prosecutors said was about to attack police there. Two related suspects were arrested in France and German police arrested two people after raiding 12 properties linked to radical Salafists. No link between any of them and the Paris attacks was confirmed. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
