| Police arrest al-Qaeda helpers |
| 2003-12-04 |
| The men, two Algerians and one French, were arrested on Tuesday in the French Riviera resort of Menton. Police say they are being questioned about claims they helped an al-Qaeda activist who was passing through France after training in Afghanistan. It is not clear whether the activist is now on the run or whether he has been arrested elsewhere in Europe. French anti-terror laws allow the suspects to be held without charge for 96 hours. |
