(AFP) Fourteen suspected accomplices of the jihadist gunmen who attacked the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket appeared in a Paris court Wednesday, five years after the three days of terror that rocked France.
The killings, which began on January 7, 2015, sparked a series of attacks on French soil, including by “lone wolves” said to be inspired by the Islamic State group, that have since claimed more than 250 lives.
Hearings began under heavy security as eleven of the suspects faced the court on charges of conspiracy in a terrorist act or association with a terror group.
Three others, including the wife of one of the gunmen, are being tried in absentia because they fled to IS-held territory in Syria days before the attacks.
