Well, why would they? There is no picture to be upset by.

Glad they caught them from their professional demeanor during the attack I doubted they would. Good job France!

Now....for the interrogation.

I suggest we send in Brian Blessed after they've been shown a complete back to back Jersey Shore rerun.

If we're going for the revenge angle, I say we lock them in a cell, give them access to newspapers and television. Then, we make sure that any information they get on the outside world paints their cause as completely lost, with news stories of "democratic riots" and the like in the Middle East. Kinda like the Arab spring, except succesful.

How's that for despair?

Last i heard they hadn't caught anyone yet. They're raiding an apartment in Reims right now, but not word on prisoners yet.

These guys strike me as the type who have a plan in place beyond 'kill cartoonists'. If that was their only objective, they'ed have gone in, and then hole'd up with as many guns as they could and killed the cops as they came up or planted explosives to eliminate the first responders. I think this is 'part 1' of a larger plan. Hopefully Police put the breaks on it.

**Grey Templar**

I'm seeing multiple sources saying 2 in custody and 1 dead.

**Torga_DW**

I thought they'd been caught? That whole free border access thing seems to be a problem if they haven't.

Well... let's be honest, the more he can turn Egyptian public opinion against Islamists, particular his nemesis in the Muslim Brotherhood, the more license he’ll have to suppress them in protecting his own power. Let's hope he doesn't go "Saddam Huessin" on us...

I know this is a serious topic, but the title demands it.

Why would you shoot at an innocent magazine?!

Because they drew a picture.

Yes. That's the reason.

BBC is carrying one surrendered. Nothing on the other two. Hamyd Mourad is the youngest of the three, and apparently turned himself in around 1:22 GMT

Would you listen to the man who had seized power from the first democratically elected government you had had in years?

You mean be given weapons of mass destruction (including chemical) by the usa and then attacked by the usa for invading an anti-american country that would have had strategic significance to him?

Woah... wasn't he elected too? ... off to google research...

EDIT: back from research: He was installed in a coup and then later elected to office. (Over the protests of the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, of course)

Plus if we did manage to piss off buddhists we wouldn't have gunmen to catch.

We'd have loads of these guys (warning, huge image):

Yeah, it seems that NBC jumped the gun, French, British and Dutch media sources report only one suspect in custody, supposedly surrendering near the French-Belgian border. http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-30710777 2:04-2:17 reports
French police have released photos of the other two suspects and asking the public for information:

Spoiler:

Better news is that the larger French media sources have agreed to help Charlie with personnel and funding now that most of the editors have been killed, to ensure its continued existence. Source in Dutch: http://nos.nl/liveblog/2012114-volg-de-klopjacht-op-de-daders.html

Apparently one handed himself in because he saw his name circulating on social media. Sounds a bit odd.

He must be the guy otherwise they would have released a third photo surely?

**Disciple of Fate**

It is a bit of an odd situation, police have not confirmed his arrest yet, but it is most likely the case as you note with the photo. On the other hand there is a twitter topic trending where his supposed classmates state that he is innocent because he was in class at the time of the shooting, make of that what you will.

**Medium of Death**

Maybe it's a ruse so they can close in on the real suspects?

**Jihadin**

Oh Gawddamn the brothers are still loose then?

Edit

I saw the raw footage of the cop getting opted out. I actually had to go take a Xanax and two coffee's

**Disciple of Fate**

Yes, according to the information the French police has released, no reason not to believe it.

Edit: Yeah, they showed the footage live on the Dutch 'national' news, pretty brutal, they were later forced to apologize over showing it.

I hope that Policeman's family didn't see that broadcast.

**Breotan**

Should have known NBC would screw up the reporting. Sorry about that, guys.

cnn wrote:(CNN) -- An 18-year-old who was considered one of three suspects in the shooting at Charlie Hebdo magazine offices has turned himself in to police, a source close to the case told the AFP news agency. Hamyd Mourad was implicated alongside two brothers in the attack. Mourad turned himself in late Wednesday night after seeing his name mentioned on social media, the source told AFP. The manhunt is still going on for the two suspected gunmen: Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi. Police warn the two brothers could be armed and dangerous.
