^ Brothers Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi (Frenchmen), both in their 30s. Also suspected is 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad (not pictured; nationality not released).
Cherif Kouachi was convicted in 2008 of terrorism charges for helping funnel fighters to Iraq's insurgency and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
During Cherif Kouachi's 2008 trial, he told the court, "I really believed in the idea" of fighting the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. He said he was motivated by his outrage at television images of torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib.
