france on sunday. >> israel's prime minister said the french jews were welcome to their homeland. >> the kouachi brothers and the men behind the attacks may be dead but police believe six of their accomplices may be at large. the net to catch them is widening. police in bulgaria had a rested man with ties to one of the kouachi brothers. >> this french national is in bulgarian hands. he has been remanded in custody before a court hears his case for extradition next week. his lawyer confirms he is linked to the kouachi brothers, who carried out the charlie hebdo attacks. >> there are some elements which
2:37 pm
are connected to these terrorist networks in paris there is some evidence. >> arrested while trying to cross from bulgaria into turkey, he is accused of kidnapping his son to go to syria. a second warrant accused him of participating in a criminal organization with a terrorist aim. authorities say he knew sharif kouachi. >> before leaving france, the suspect was in contact with one of the brothers several times. >> meanwhile, moore is emerging about the person who traveled with them, the partner of them. he is known to french intelligence. his older brother, mohammed, was sent to jail for his role in sending fighters to afghanistan. he argues mohammed could have
2:38 pm
made contact with his partner in jail. he killed a policewoman and hostages. the united states said he had been on a terror watch list. >> meanwhile, charlie hebdo lives on. the next edition of the magazine will be on newsstands within hours. 3 million copies are being printed and it is being translated into 16 languages. no one will be surprised the front cover depicts the muslim prophet mohammed, seen weeping while holding a sign that says "i am charlie." >> i started drawing and i wrote je suis charlie. it was not enough to make the cover. i just had this idea of mohammed and je suis charlie. i looked at him, and he was crying.

above him, i wrote all is forgiven and then i cried. that was the cover. we had our cover. we had this damn cover and it was our cover. >> the new front cover of the charlie hebdo will go on sale tomorrow. it has been sent on social networks and by the traditional media in france, the united states, very few newspapers have chosen to print the image. philip's in washington with more on that now. philip i think it is just "the washington post" that has run it. others shy away from doing so. >> yes, "the washington post" deciding to publish it because this cover, in comparison to the
2:40 pm
depictions of mohammed by charlie hebdo in the past, this is not deliberately or needlessly offensive. that is why they have decided to publish it on its website. we will see whether the paper edition will carry it. the l.a. times and also usa today will publish it. in the no column, cnn which says it is taboo within islam and encourages viewers to google the image, but will not be publishing it. the new york times has also decided not to publish the latest front cover of charlie hebdo. nbc news, abc news have also decided not to do so. >> in other news, the united states is very much working with france to try to track down the suspects that are at large and have links to the kouachi brothers. what information do you have? >> in terms of intelligence
2:41 pm
sharing, the relationship has been a good one. what we are getting more than any in his information from u.s. intelligence officials speaking to their counterparts. that is filtering through from the white house. u.s. intelligence officials passed on the travel history of suspects to their french counterparts. we do not know where that is 1, 2, or all four suspects in this case. the impression one gets is that possibly the american intelligence services knew more about these suspects and what they might have been doing on french soil than the french intelligence services. so just a reminder the suspects, all three men, were on a terrorism watch list in the united states. they were on a no-fly list. once they are taken off surveillance in france, the united states services can't do

2:43 pm
combat intolerance and violence. >> joining me now is a person who is an expert in the extreme right in europe. thanks for being with us on france 24. has the far right succeeded in exploiting the paris attacks to draw supporters to its cause? >> i think whether they have succeeded, they have tried. we can see that in germany. although there were more counter demonstrations. we have seen that in the u.k.. so they are trying to exploit it. whether it has been successful only time will tell. >> a survey in germany before the paris attacks said 57% of non-muslims were frightened
2:44 pm
about islam and what it means for their society. are we sink a failure of mainstream politicians to address these fears? >> i don't think we are. i think we are seeing a failure of the media as well. we have seen in the past few years the build up of division in our community, in europe in general as well. and i think the tragic events last week, these horrific murders that took place in paris, but often the coverage has been putting the muslim community against the french community. we forget, the media and politicians, warning us against islamophobia and so on.
