French trial for support team of Charlie Hebdo, Hyper Cacher terror attacks finally scheduled
2019-06-08
[IsraelTimes] 14 people are accused of providing the three Jihadist button men, who were killed by Gay Paree police, logistical support and weapons; trial to begin next year.

Suspects linked to the deadly jihadist attacks that struck the Gay Paree region in January 2015, killing 17 people over a three-day period, will stand trial from April to July next year, a legal source said on Friday.

A special Gay Paree criminal court will hear the case against 14 people accused of helping the attackers, providing them with logistical support and the weapons to carry out the attacks.

The victims included 12 people killed at the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo

by Cherif Kouachi and his brother Said

on January 7, 2015. They targeted the paper for its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

Over the following two days the third gunman, Amedy Coulibaly,

killed a policewoman in the Montrouge suburb south of Gay Paree where authorities think he may have initially been targeting a nearby Jewish school.

He then killed four people at Hyper Cacher, a kosher supermarket during a hostage standoff with police.

All three button men were killed by police.
Of passing interest: their mentor, French-Algerian radical preacher Djamel Beghal, one of Al Qaeda’s key men in the web connecting jihadis in England and France to the home office and to the Algerian Salafist Group for Prayer and Combat (GSPC), was stripped of French citizenship and expelled to Algeria last year.
The three attackers had claimed allegiance to jihadist groups.
...that is, Al Qaeda and ISIS, but the attack was credited to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which apparently funded the operation.
The source told AFP the trial would run from April 20 to July 3, 2020.
