I think the Telegraph journo had been down the pub before submitting his copy... "...were died on Friday, sheat dead by police...."
All three were, apparently, on a US watch list for years. All three were, therefore, apparently known to French security. Meanwhile, it seems to me that the media focus is concentrated on Coulibaly and far less on the two brothers - and I wonder why this shift in attention has happened?

The man accused of killing four people in a supermarket siege outside Paris last week had been on a US terror watchlist, according to a security source quoted by CNN.
Amedy Coulibaly, who killed four Jewish shoppers at the Hyper Cacher kosher grocery store, was listed on the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (Tide), the American central database on known or suspected international terrorists, pooled from its main security agencies.
A law enforcement official quoted by CNN said he had been on the watchlist of a million names "for a while".
The hunt is now on to find Hayat Boumeddiene, his wife and a suspected accomplice in the Paris terror attacks. She left France early in the new year and crossed from Turkey into Syria on January 8, according to the Turkish foreign minister.
Investigators are trying to find out their links to violent Jihadi groups such as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula or the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil). They also want to know Coulibaly help he received from others in France, including two brothers who shot dead 12 people at Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine, last week.

After the attack, American officials said Cherif and Said Kouachi, had been on a US terror watchlist "for years".
The suspicions have piled pressure on French security services, who have been asked to explain how it was they monitored the activities of the Kouachi brothers before allowing them to drop off the radar.
French police say Coulibaly killed a policewoman in the suburb of Montrouge and may have shot a jogger on the outskirts of Paris before the bloody supermarket siege.
In a video posted online on Sunday, Coulibaly claims responsibility for the Montrouge attack in the name of Isil, and says he "co-ordinated" his actions with the Kouachi brothers.
Coulibaly and the brothers who carried out the Charlie Hebdo massacre were died on Friday, sheat dead by police in a dramatic climax to two hostage dramas after three days of terror in the heart of France.
Coulibaly was a repeat criminal offender also convicted for extremist activity.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
