Raid underway as Paris massacre gunmen are identified

An anti-terror raid is reportedly underway in the city of Reims in France after police identified three suspects in the French terror attack.

Three men have been identified as suspects in the attack against French newspaper offices that killed 12 people and shook the nation.

Two French police officials named the suspects as Frenchmen Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, in their early 30s, as well as 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, whose nationality was not immediately clear.

One of the officials said they were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network.

Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of terrorism charges for helping funnel fighters to Iraq’s insurgency and sentenced to 18 months in prison.

No arrests have been confirmed in the hunt for the attackers.

It was the deadliest attack in France in half a century.
