PARIS — Three people have been charged in France over an Islamic extremist’s shooting rampage and supermarket hostage-taking earlier this year. French regional media reported that the three are suspected of providing help to assailant Redouane Lakdim before his March attack in Carcassonne and the nearby town of Trebes. A judicial official said Saturday that the three were charged with criminal association with terrorists, and one was also accused of possessing arms in connection with a terrorist enterprise. It was unclear why the arrests occurred so long after the attack. His girlfriend was charged earlier this year.
