France charges 4 men linked to Amedy Coulibaly

France has charged four men for providing logistical support to Amedy Coulibaly, who held hostages in a kosher supermarket and shot a policewoman.

The men are the first people to be charged in connection to the Paris attacks, which left 20 people dead. Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins told The Associated Press that the men were charged with "association with terrorism," and they were placed in jail "until a further investigation."

AP adds that at least one of the four men charged had met Coulibaly while in prison.
