Man who allegedly radicalized Charlie Hebdo gunmen worked as nurse at Paris hospital

The man alleged to have radicalized two of the gunmen who attacked the office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo reportedly worked as a nurse at a hospital in Paris, where victims of the assault were taken for treatment.

According to Express.co.uk, Farid Benyettou, who was off-duty on the day of the attack, was employed as a trainee nurse at Paris' Pitie-Salpetriere hospital.

A trainee nurse at the hospital, Benyettou was supposed to be back at work on Friday, but was reportedly removed from duty after hospital officials had a word with the police.

Benyettou started working as a trainee nurse at the hospital last month.

Operating under the Buttes-Chamont terror cell from Paris' 19th arrondissement, Benyettou was a key part of the organisation believed to have sent at least a dozen young jihadis to Iraq, the report said.
