    The men are linked to Amedy Coulibaly, one of the three Islamist militant gunmen who perpetrated the attacks, an official in the prosecutor’s office said.

    Coulibaly killed a police officer in the Paris suburb of Montrouge and four people in a Jewish supermarket.

    Since the attacks at the start of the year, seven men aged 22 to 33 have been detained and placed under formal investigation as part of a legal process opened by prosecutors on Jan. 20.

    Investigators have to date made more progress on the Coulibaly angle than that of the two other perpetrators – the Kouachi brothers, who carried out the attack at the offices of French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo on Jan. 7, killing 12.
