U.S. Had Hebdo Suspects on ‘No Fly’ List

Cherif and Said Kouachi were already considered suspect by the U.S. government and placed on the “No Fly” list before Wednesday’s attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices, according to a U.S. official who spoke with Yahoo! News. The official declined to say when exactly they had been put on the list of people considered a “threat to civil aviation or national security,” but said they had been on it “for years.” They were also on the U.S. government’s Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) list. The two brothers are at large and wanted by French authorities for the attack that resulted in a dozen casualties.
