Police: As many as 6 Paris terror suspects may be at large

PARIS (AP) — As many as six members of a terrorist cell involved in the Paris attacks may still be at large, including a man who was seen driving a car registered to the widow of one of the gunmen, French police said Monday.

The disclosure came as France deployed 10,000 troops to protect sensitive sites — including Jewish schools and neighborhoods — in the wake of the attacks that killed 17 people last week.

Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi and their friend, Amedy Coulibaly, were killed Friday by police after a murderous spree at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket. The three all claimed ties to Islamic extremists in the Middle East.

Two police officials told The Associated Press that authorities were searching the Paris area for the Mini Cooper registered to Hayat Boumeddiene, Coulibaly's widow. Turkish officials say she is now in Syria.

Other radicalized youth will likely be inspired to carry out copycat attacks on other defenseless people because of posthumous notoriety the Charlie Hebdo murderers have achieved.

could have sent a delegation that included members of Congress. Press Secretary (Josh Earnest) faces the daily briefing not with his personal opinions, but with positions coordinated to convey the administration's position on the issues de jour. So when he says the administration made a mistake not sending a senior representative, it's not a flip or ad lib comment.
