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.
