French officials have told the U.S. authorities that one of the suspects in the Charlie Hebdo shooting had visited Yemen in 2012 to receive training from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
According to ABC News, the U.S. is working to determine if the attack was ordered by the AQAP.
The two main suspects in the shootings at the magazine's headquarters are Said Kouachi, 34 and Cherif Kouachi, 32.
Charlie Hebdo has announced that the magazine will be back with a one million copy memorial edition in the aftermath of the massacre.
Cherif has earlier been sentenced to three years of jail for his connection with a militants cell that had been getting foreign fighters to join al Qaeda in Iraq.
