Police announced that they identified the attackers as two brothers from the Paris area and one 18 year old man from Marseilles.
Brothers? I heard this theme before, in Boston.
update: Police and anti-terror magistrates reportedly identified the three assailants, two of whom are brothers, reports The Telegraph's Henry Samuel. The two brothers, born in Paris' 10th arrondissement are French nationals called Saïd and Cherif Kouachi, aged 34 and 32.
Cherif was reportedly part of an Iraqi jihadi network dismantled in the nearby 19th arrondissement of Paris. He was sentenced to three years in prison with 18 months suspended in relation to terror charges in May 2008.
The two brothers are Franco-Algerians who came back from Syria this summer.
Hamyd Mourad, 18, is of no fixed abode. Last year, he reportedly was enrolled in a lycée in Charleville-Mezières around 50 miles from the Champagne capital of Reims, northeastern France. Police were reportedly hunting for him in Reims last night. The nationality of the youngest is unknown.
Their identity cards were circulating widely on Twitter last night. From telegraph.co.uk.

The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
