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. Suspects from Charlie Hebdo attack were on U.S. no-fly list 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. Giffords meets with Obama on anniversary of shooting News MAMTA POPAT/AP Community and staff members from the University of Arizona Medical Center in Tucson, Ariz., gather on the front lawn, Thursday for a moment of silence to remember the Jan. 8, 2011 shooting that severely injured then -Rep Gabrielle Gif- fords and killed six people. 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. Connecticut teen refuses chemotherapy treatment
