There’s a money trail that points to Yemen and a cache of weapons reportedly found in an apartment.
This all comes as a nation continues to mourn and Parisians flock to newsstands in support of the satirical magazine targeted by the terrorists.
Charlie Hebdo
Everyone seems to want a piece of history.
Three million copies of Charlie Hebdo’s first edition since the terror attack flew off newsstand racks on Wednesday. Another million or so went on sale Thursday.
The cover features a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed crying as he holds a sign saying “Je suis Charlie,” or “I am Charlie,” beneath the headline “All is forgiven.” This run of the magazine could reach 5 million copies.
The victims
Two more funerals were being held on Thursday for victims of the violence.
They are policeman Franck Brinsolaro and Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Bernard “Tignous” Verlhac. Both were killed at the magazine’s offices.

Justice Minister Christiane Taubira “considers that words or actions of a racist or anti-Semitic nature, or that cause hateful, violent, or discriminatory behavior, or advocate terrorism, or target security forces must be fought and pursued with the utmost vigor,” her office said in a statement.
She “asked prosecutors to exercise extreme reactivity in the conduct of public action against the perpetrators of such crimes,” the statement said.

Paris on edge
CNN affiliate BFMTV on Thursday reported a scare outside the Elysee Palace, the official residence of French President Francois Hollande.
A car drove the wrong way up a one-way street and struck a police officer. She was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The driver had been drinking, according to authorities.
Police don’t believe it has anything to do with the terror attacks and Hollande was not at the palace at the time of the incident.
CNN’s Holly Yan, Salma Abdelaziz, Pierre Meilhan, Pamela Brown, Tim Lister, Vasco Cotovio, Daniel Burke, Barbara Starr, Greg Botelho and Margot Haddad contributed to this report.
