A Frenchman linked to the Kouachi brothers, who carried out the massacre at the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris last week, has been arrested in Bulgaria, reported AP.
Said and Cherif Kouachi were cornered by police at a printing shop at Dammartin-en-Goele, where they then held one worker hostage for hours before being killed by SWAT teams.
A gas station owner where they stopped and stocked up on supplies called police and gave several pieces of identifying information to investigators on the terrorists, including which car they drove and in which direction they fled.
A massive manhunt of over 10,000 officers was launched after the sighting, but the pair managed to elude police officers until Friday. Investigators later found over a dozen Molotov cocktails and jihadist flags in one of their getaway cars, according to the Daily Mail.
12 people were murdered in the shooting attack at the offices of the satirical news magazine in central Paris. Two of the dead were police and ten were journalists
