The Kouachi 

brothers were known 

to American and 
French authorities

PARIS (AP) — The younger 

brother was a ladies’ man who 
belted out rap lyrics before the 
words of a radical preacher per-
suaded him to book a flight to 
Syria to wage holy war.

Less is known about his elder 

sibling, whose ID card was 
found in the getaway car used by 
the gunmen in the newspaper-
office massacre in Paris. But 
U.S. officials said Thursday both 
were on the U.S. no-fly list and 
the older brother had traveled to 
Yemen, although it was unclear 
whether he was there to join up 
with extremist groups such as 
al-Qaida.

The 
Kouachi 
brothers 
— 

32-year-old Cherif and 34-year-
old Said — emerged as the 
subject of a huge manhunt after 
the precision attack Wednesday 
that killed 12 people at Charlie 
Hebdo, a satirical weekly that 
lampooned radical Muslims and 
the Prophet Muhammad him-
self.

Witnesses said the gunmen in 

the attack claimed allegiance to 
al-Qaida’s offshoot in Yemen.

Both Kouachi brothers — the 

Paris-born offspring of Algerian 
parents — were already known 
to American and French coun-
terterrorism authorities.

Cherif, a former pizza deliv-

eryman, had appeared in a 2005 
French TV documentary on 
Islamic extremism and was sen-
tenced to 18 months in prison in 
2008 for trying to join up with 
fighters battling in Iraq.

It was the teachings of a fire-

brand Muslim preacher that 
put him on the path to jihad in 
his rough-and-tumble neigh-
borhood of northeastern Paris, 
Kouachi was quoted as saying in 
the documentary.

The cleric “told me that 

(holy) texts prove the benefits 
of suicide attacks,” Kouachi was 
quoted as saying. “It’s written in 
the texts that it’s good to die as 
a martyr.”

Associated Press reporters 

who covered the 2008 trial, 
which exposed a recruiting 
pipeline for Muslim holy war in 
the multi-ethnic and working-
class 19th arrondissement of 
Paris, recalled a skinny young 
defendant who appeared very 
nervous in court.

Cherif Kouachi’s lawyer said 

at the time that his client had 
fallen in with the wrong crowd.

During the trial, Kouachi was 

said to have undergone only 
minimal training for combat 
— going jogging in a Paris park 
to shape up and learning how 
a Kalashnikov automatic rifle 
works by studying a sketch.

French Interior Minister Ber-

nard Cazeneuve, however, said 
Thursday that Kouachi had been 
described by fellow would-be 
jihadis at the time as “violently 
anti-Semitic.”

Imprisonment 
changed 

him, his former attorney Vin-
cent Ollivier told Le Parisien 
newspaper in a story published 
Thursday.

Kouachi became closed off 

and unresponsive and started 
growing a beard, the lawyer 
said, adding that he wondered 
whether the stint behind bars 
transformed his client into a 
ticking time bomb.

There was a time, though, 

when he had very different 
interests.

Footage in the documentary, 

part of a prestigious French 
public television series titled 
“Evidence 
for 
the 
Prosecu-

tion,” shows him in 2004, when, 
according to the narrator, the 
lanky young man in a black 
T-shirt with extremely close-
cropped hair and a chunky 
wristwatch 
was 
keener 
on 

spending time with pretty girls 
than on going to the mosque. He 
appears relaxed and smiling as 
he pals around with friends.

After he was released from 

prison, he worked in a super-
market’s fish section in the Paris 
suburbs for six months begin-
ning in 2009. Supervisors said 
he gave no cause for concern.

In 2010, police detained him 

again in a probe of an alleged 
plot to free an Islamic militant 
sentenced to life in prison for 
bombing a Paris train line in 
1995. Kouachi was ultimately 

released with no charges ever 
brought.

Much less has become public 

about the older brother, Said, 
but Cazeneuve said the jobless 
resident of the city of Reims 
was also known to authorities, 
despite having never been pros-
ecuted, because he was “on the 
periphery” of the illegal activi-
ties his younger sibling was 
involved in.

A senior U.S. counterterror-

ism official said Thursday both 
brothers had been put on the 
U.S. no fly list and another U.S. 
official said Said Kouachi had 
traveled to Yemen. 

The officials spoke on condi-

tion of anonymity because they 
were not authorized to discuss 
foreign intelligence publicly.

A French security official, 

speaking on condition of ano-
nymity because of the sensitivity 
of the matter, said that Ameri-
can authorities had shared intel-
ligence with France indicating 
that Said had traveled to Yemen 
several years ago for training. 
French authorities were seeking 
to verify the information, the 
official said.

In Reims, about 90 miles (145 

kilometers) northeast of Paris,) 
Said frequented a prayer room 
on the ground floor of an apart-
ment building, according to the 
local imam, Abdul-Hamid al-
Khalifa.

If French authorities are now 

hunting for the right suspects, 
it may be because of Said, Caze-
neuve hinted.

In the stolen Citroen aban-

doned Wednesday by the gun-
men, police found a French 
identity card in the older Koua-
chi’s name, the minister said.

Moreover, after the attack-

ers dumped the first car, they 
grabbed another, and Cazeneuve 
said the elder Kouachi had been 
identified as “the aggressor” by 
witnesses shown his photo.

A third suspect identified by 

French authorities in the attack 
turned himself in Wednesday 
night. Mourad Hamyd, 18, sur-
rendered at a police station after 
learning his name had been 
linked to the case in the news, 
said Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, 
spokeswoman for the Paris 
prosecutor.

Four years after 
the mass shooting, 
former Florida Rep. 
remembers victims

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — For-

mer Arizona Rep. Gabby Gif-
fords spent part of the fourth 
year anniversary of the mass 
shooting that left her gravely 
wounded meeting with Presi-
dent Barack Obama as her city 
paused to remember the trag-
edy that left six dead and 13 
injured.

Nineteen solemn bells rang 

Thursday morning to honor the 
victims of a shooting in Tucson 
at a political event hosted by 
Giffords.

Giffords did not attend the 

event but met with Obama dur-
ing his visit to Phoenix.

“It was four years ago today 

that Gabby and some other 
wonderful 
Arizonans 
were 

gunned down outside a super-
market in Tucson. It’s a tough 
day for a lot of folks down there. 
We keep them in our thoughts 
and prayers,” Obama said.

“She’s a hero, and she’s a 

great Arizonan. So we’re really 
proud of her,” he said.

The ceremony in Tucson 

took place at 10:10 a.m. and 

included a bell-ringing for each 
of the 19 victims of the attack. 
Tucson Mayor Jonathan Roth-
schild also hosted a bell-ring-
ing ceremony at a fire station 
downtown.

“I think it’s important that 

we never forget what happened 
because there are a lot of les-
sons that can be learned from 
what happened,” said former 
Arizona Rep. Ron Barber, who 
was wounded in the shooting 
and who attended the ceremo-
ny.

Giffords did not participate 

in any public events but posted 
messages on her verified Twit-
ter account.

“Since I was shot four years 

ago today, it’s been step by 
step. Progress has come from 
working hard,” Giffords wrote. 
“Today, I remember, and I take 
another step. We have to move 
ahead.”

Peter Rhee, chief of the trau-

ma department at the Univer-
sity of Arizona Medical Center, 
is the doctor credited with sav-
ing the lives of Giffords and 
others.

Standing outside the hospi-

tal Thursday, Rhee said he was 
changed by that day and thinks 
about it often. But he said many 
positive things came of the 
tragedy.

“The discussion on gun con-

trol is much higher on a nation-
al level. We can’t just keep 
going on like this,” Rhee said.

The Jan. 8, 2011, shooting 

shook Tucson, a city that con-
siders itself a tight-knit com-
munity despite its half-million 
residents. Among those killed 
was 9-year-old Christina-Tay-
lor Green, whose face adorns 
many of the memorial messages 
left at the shooting site and the 
hospital.

U.S. District Judge John Roll 

and Giffords aide Gabe Zim-
merman also were killed. Bar-
ber, who worked for Giffords at 
the time, was wounded but later 
took over her seat in Congress.

Jared Loughner was sen-

tenced to life in prison for the 
shooting.

Giffords, who was shot in the 

head, still struggles to speak 
and walk. She has become 
the face of gun control, hav-
ing founded Americans for 
Responsible 
Solutions 
with 

her husband, retired astronaut 
Mark Kelly.

In the 2014 election, the gun 

control group raised millions 
for congressional candidates, 
including Barber, who lost his 
seat to Republican Martha 
McSally. The group has gar-
nered 
attention 
nationwide 

but has been able to do little to 
change gun laws.

17-year-old with 

Hodgkin lymphoma 
wants to make own 
medical decisions 

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A 

17-year-old girl being forced by 
state officials to undergo che-
motherapy for her cancer says 
she understands she’ll die if she 
stops treatment but it should be 
her decision.

The state Supreme Court 

ruled Thursday state officials 
aren’t violating the rights of 
the girl, Cassandra C., who has 
Hodgkin lymphoma.

Cassandra told The Associ-

ated Press in an exclusive text 
interview from her hospital that 
it disgusts her to have “such 
toxic harmful drugs” in her 
body and she’d like to explore 
alternative treatments.

She 
said 
she 
understands 

“death is the outcome of refusing 
chemo” but she believes in “the 
quality of my life, not the quan-
tity.”

The court ruled Cassandra’s 

lawyers had the opportunity to 
prove she’s mature enough to 
make that decision during a Juve-
nile Court hearing in December 
and failed to do so.

Cassandra will be free to make 

her own medical decisions when 
she turns 18 in September. She, 
with the support of her mother, 
had fought against the six-month 
course of chemotherapy.

The case centered on whether 

the girl is mature enough to deter-
mine how to treat her Hodgkin 
lymphoma, with which she was 
diagnosed in September. Several 
other states recognize the mature 
minor doctrine.

Cassandra was allowed to go 

home to undergo treatment in 
November but instead ran away 

for a week, according to court 
documents.

“Cassandra either intention-

ally misrepresented her inten-
tions to the trial court or she 
changed her mind on this issue 
of life and death,” Chief Justice 
Chase T. Rogers said.

Cassandra is confined in a 

room at Connecticut Children’s 
Medical Center in Hartford, 
where she is being forced to 
undergo chemotherapy, which 
doctors said would give her an 
85 percent chance of survival. 
Without it, they said, there was 
a near-certainty of death within 
two years.

The teen’s mother, Jackie For-

tin, of Windsor Locks, said after 
the arguments Thursday that she 
wouldn’t allow her daughter to 
die. The single mother said she 
and her daughter just want to 
seek alternative treatments that 
don’t include putting the “poison” 
of chemotherapy into her body.

“This is her decision and her 

rights, which is what we are 
here fighting about,” Fortin said. 
“We should have choices about 
what to do with our bodies.”

Fortin and her lawyer said they 

are considering their next step 
after losing the case but expect 
to go back to the trial court in an 
attempt to more fully explore the 
mature minor argument.

After Cassandra was diag-

nosed with high-risk Hodgkin 
lymphoma, she and her mother 
missed several appointments, 
prompting doctors at Connecti-
cut Children’s Medical Center 
to notify the state Department 
of Children and Families, court 
documents say.

The child welfare agency inves-

tigated and a trial court granted 
the agency temporary custody of 
Cassandra. Lawyers for Cassan-
dra and her mother then sought 
an injunction prohibiting medical 
treatment but were unsuccessful.
