French police detain 4 over links to Paris attacks

Suspects being held in ongoing investigation into wave of Islamist shootings, including man with ties to kosher market shooter and his girlfriend, a policewoman.

French police and security officials say four people are in custody over links to the attacks that terrorized Paris in January, including a policewoman.

 

 

The two officials, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said one man who was detained had ties to Amedy Coulibaly, the gunman who killed a policewoman on January 8 and then four more people at a Parisian kosher supermarket the following day before being killed by security forces.

The officials had no details about the two others in custody. No one besides three dead gunmen have been linked directly to the January attacks at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and the market, which left 20 people dead, including the gunmen.
