Kouachi

Charlie Hebdo is struggling with an annual security bill of ?1.5 million (£1.32m) as President Emmanuel Macron leads commemorations on the third anniversary of the terror attack on the satirical weekly on Sunday, Sunday Telegraph writes. 

Sales have slumped after surging to an unprecedented 7 million copies following the attack on 7 January 2015.

Six people who hid in a supermarket refrigerator during January's Islamist attacks in Paris have sued French media for broadcasting their location live during the siege.
      

The threat of a jihadist attack in France has reached a level "without precedent" and new attacks are inevitable, according to top counter-terrorism officials.
      
"The threat is permanent," said one high-level official in the defence ministry, speaking on condition of anonymity.        

More than a month after jihadist gunmen massacred much of the Charlie Hebdo editorial team, those who survived are slowly trying to return to a semblance of normality.
      
Twelve people were killed in the January 7 attack on the satirical weekly, including five of France's most beloved cartoonists.
      

French investigators believe they have established that the jihadists who struck Paris last month were in direct contact before the attacks, a security source said on Feb. 18.        

Phone records appear to show that Cherif Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly met the night before they started three days of violence in and around Paris on January 7.        

?We have been following with great concern what is happening at the Fatih Mosque in Istanbul,? a Western diplomat told me, in reference to demonstrations of support of the Kouachi brothers who attacked the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo last month.

French authorities have filed preliminary charges of terrorism against a French citizen extradited from Bulgaria and linked to the two gunmen who conducted the deadly attack against satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo earlier this month, international newswires reported.

A U.K. citizen has been detained in ?zmir on suspicion that he fought for jihadists in Syria, Turkish police have announced in the wake of demands from Ankara that Western countries do more to cut down on extremists traveling to Syria.

Bulgaria is to extradite Thursday a French citizen suspected of having been in close contact with the Kouachi brothers, who killed 12 people at the Paris Office of Charlie Hebdo weekly.

Four men will appear before a judge in France on Jan. 20 to face possible charges of providing support to one of the Paris Islamist attackers, the prosecutors' office said.
