The Paris prosecutor's office announced today that ten people have been arrested in an investigation into the supply of weapons for one of the three attackers who killed 17 people in the offices of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a Jewish store in Paris in January 2015.

The press release states that the arrests began on Monday and continued yesterday and today.

The target of the arrests are people suspected of being involved in the procurement of weapons for Amédi Coulibaly, who killed four hostages in a Jewish store in the eastern part of Paris and then a policewoman before he was killed in a confrontation with the police.

Coulibaly was an accomplice of the brothers Sherif and Said Kouashi who killed 12 people in the Charlie Hebdo newsroom before the police killed them.
