Wednesday 21 Jan 2015 - 14:27 Makkah mean time-1-4-1436 Paris (IINA) – Four men suspected of providing logistical support to gunman who killed hostages at kosher supermarket in Paris are the first to be charged in connection with the attacks which happened earlier this month in which at least 20 people killed, including three assailants, Aljazeera news reported. French prosecutors Francois Molins said on Wednesday that four men aged between 22 and 28 were handed preliminary charges overnight of association with terrorism. Three of them are suspected of having bought "equipment" for Amedy Coulibaly, who shot a policewoman to death on the outskirts of Paris and then killed four hostages at a kosher supermarket. The prosecutor said the four charged suspects were jailed until a further investigation. Three of the four had criminal records and at least one met Coulibaly in prison, Molins said. SM/IINA
