After a long day of rapidly changing
information, U.S. counterterrorism officials said Wednesday night that
they cannot be certain of the status of the three suspects in the Paris attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine. Information from French sources has been contradictory, they said.
Earlier Wednesday, two
senior U.S. counterterrorism officials told BBC News that one of the
suspects in the attack had been killed and that two others were in
custody. However, the officials later said the information that was the
basis of that account could not be confirmed.
Authorities earlier
identified the three men as Said Kouachi, 34, and Cherif Kouachi, 32,
French nationals who are brothers, and Hamyd Mourad, 18. Late Wednesday,
French police released photos of the brothers and asked for public help
in finding them, and French authorities said the youngest of the three
suspects had surrendered to police.
