Two brothers and a teenager were last night revealed as the three suspects linked to a deadly terrorist attack on an anti-Islamist newspaper in France.
Said Kouachi, 34, and Cherif Kouachi, 32, both from Paris, were identified along with Hamyd Mourad, 18, from the north-eastern city of Reims.
Anti-terrorism officers hunting the terrorists issued photographs of the two brothers describing them as ‘armed and dangerous’.
It came as a French official close to the case said Mourad had surrendered to police ‘after seeing his name on social media’ and was arrested at an undisclosed location.
It appeared last night that the hunt for the other men had turned to the Croix Rouge region of Reims, some two hours by car from Paris.
Dozens of members from France’s elite anti-terror unit surrounded an apartment building and there were reports a flat had been searched.
