US special forces carried out Paris attack, not Kouachi brothers: Dr. Roberts [View all]

A former White House official says the January 7 terrorist attack that killed 12 people in Paris was carried out by highly trained special forces from the United States, not by the two “bumbling” brothers who were later killed by the French police.

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, who was Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Department in the Reagan Administration and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, made the remarks in an article published on Tuesday.

He said that “yet the suspects who were later corralled and killed seemed bumbling and unprofessional. It is like two different sets of people.”

He wondered how the so-called Islamic terrorists were “prepared to die in the attack; yet the two professionals who hit Charlie Hebdo were determined to escape and succeeded, an amazing feat.”
