French police today arrested 10 people in connection with the supply of weapons to the attackers who killed 17 people at Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher store in January 2015.
The Paris prosecutors’ office said it was part of an investigation into the firearms used by Amedy Coulibaly.
He killed four people in a hostage-taking at the Hypercacher market in eastern Paris and a policewoman in another incident before dying in a shootout with police.
Coulibaly was an accomplice of brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi who shot and killed 12 at Charlie Hebdo’s Paris office and were also killed in a shootout.
