France Delivers 14 Guilty Verdicts in 2015 Charlie Hebdo and Connected Attacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In France, 14 people were found guilty Wednesday for aiding a series of
attacks in and around Paris over three days in January 2015. The attacks
began when two French Algerian brothers stormed the offices of the
satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people. Over the following
two days, another gunman killed a police officer, and in yet another
attack, four Jewish men were gunned down at a kosher supermarket. All
three of the main suspects were killed. The accused accomplices were
sentenced to between four years and life in prison.
