Unlike what the media is portraying Cherif Kouachi, one of the three involved in the massacre in France saying that he was a rap fanatic then due to poor social conditions turned Jihadist-fanatic, truth is he is well linked to ISIS and was under the supervision of a top leader in ISIS named Boubaker El Hakim who managed an assassination hit team that killed VIPs; two major politicians in Tunisia; Mohamed Brahmi and Chokri Belaid and was under the supervision of Farid Benyettou, another terrorist and a major recruiter in France.
Boubaker El Hakim and Cherif Kouachi who carried out the assassination in France have been partners in crime for years according to French authorities. According to French terrorism expert, Jean-Pierre Filiu who told AFP:
“Boubaker El Hakim and probably Cherif Kouachi who carried out the assassination in France joined after their release from the Iraqi branch of al Qaeda network and then shifted to Daish (ISIS). Indeed, Boubaker started by joining the Tunisian jihadist brigade Okba Ibn Nafaâ on Mount Chaambi, on the Algerian border considered as an Al Qaeda unit of the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) which gave allegiance to ISIS which had a deadly shootout with police on July 2013 prior to joining ISIS. Even though the evidence leads to ISIS, it did not comment when the attack against “Charlie Hebdo” happened and was not officially sponsored by ISIS the parent of AQIM, most likely because the two brothers have not been captured yet. In 2013, after the two murders in Tunisia, this assasin group had been described as “the most dangerous terrorist group, researched internationally” by the Tunisian interior minister, Lotfi Ben Jeddou.”
Kouachi has been on authorities’ radar for at least a decade and was once convicted of “criminal association in connection with a terrorist enterprise,” newspaper accounts said. He joined a mosque called Addawa (Arabic for Da’wa, Call To Islam)
