Vignettes: More about the 17 killed in French terror attacks

On the third and final day, four hostages were killed when a terrorist seized a Jewish grocery.

In all, 17 people were massacred by at least three terror suspects over three days. France will honor their memory at a public gathering Sunday. Here’s a summary of their lives, in reverse chronology of the deadly attacks:

JANUARY 9 HOSTAGE-TAKING STANDOFF

Four people were killed allegedly by one or two terrorists who took them and other civilians hostage inside a kosher grocery in Paris. One terrorist was killed by police in a rescue, and the remaining hostages fled to safety.

Yoav Hattab

Yoav Hattab, 21, was the son of the chief rabbi of Tunis, Tunisia, JSSNews reported.

His family lived in Tunisia and he lived alone in Paris as a student, according to French news outlets RTL and Agence France Press. He came from a family of seven children.

He often traveled to Tunisia to visit family and vacation, according to his Facebook page.

“You are the magnificent Tunisian that we will treasure forever.. Rest in peace,” Fatma Ben Hamouda wrote on the page.

Yohan Cohen

Yohan Cohen was a 22-year-old student, according JSSNews and a French news outlet.

He was born in Enghien-les-Bains and attended ORT school, a Jewish professional establishment, according to French news outlets RTL and Agence-France Press.

His parents were from Algeria and settled in Sarcelles, France, in the 1960s, the outlets said. He was a grandson of a famous Jewish-Tunisian singer, Doukha, who died in December.

He liked rap, particularly French rapper Booba.

His apparent Facebook page lists his favorite quote, by Shakespeare: It was a French translation of “We are such stuff as dreams are made on.”

François-Michel Saada

François-Michel Saada, 63, was a retired senior executive and the father of Jonathan and Emily, who both live in Israel, according to French news outlets RTL and Agence-France Press.

He was married to Laurence Saada, a psychomotor therapist, for more than 30 years, the outlets said.

Mustapha Ourrad

Mustapha Ourrad was born in Algeria and was an orphan, Le Monde reported. He arrived to France at age 20 after friends paid for his trip, and he just became a French citizen a month ago, the newspaper said.

He worked for Viva magazine for a long time and then became a copy editor for Charlie Hebdo, the newspaper said.

He was self-taught and impressed friends with his cultivation, including his knowledge of philosophers such as Nietzsche, Le Monde said.

Frederic Boisseau

Frederic Boisseau, 42, was a maintenance worker who had been employed for Sodexo for 15 years, Le Monde reported.

Sodexo, a food service and facilities management firm, took note of how its employees were planning to join a silent march scheduled in Paris on Sunday.

He was on the first floor when the gunmen burst in, spraying the lobby with gunfire.

Boisseau was killed as he sat at a welcome desk, according to an interview with Corrine Rey, a cartoonist at the magazine, the New York Times reported.

Elsa Cayat

Elsa Cayat was the only woman killed in the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

She was a psychoanalyst and twice-monthly columnist who wrote about a variety of subjects but focused on relationships, Le Monde reported.

Her column, translated in English as “The Couch,” was popular among many.

She also published several essays, including “A Man + A Woman = What?” in 2007, which addressed the theme of love in relationships, Le Monde said.
