| France arrests four Islamist militant suspects |
| 2002-12-26 |
| French police have detained four more Islamist militant suspects near Paris after the arrests last week of four Islamists believed to have been preparing a attack, a police source said on Thursday. The source said the latest arrests were made on Tuesday in the northeast suburb of Romainville by France's DST anti-espionage unit but gave no more details. Neither the Interior Ministry nor the Paris prosecutor's office could immediately confirm the new arrests. The source did not confirm a media report that they were linked to last week's raid by DST agents on an apartment in nearby La Courneuve, where components found in bomb-making devices were found. Found some friends of theirs, did you? |
