[Iran Press TV] Yassin Salhi, the man suspected of beheading his employer in a recent terrorist attack in La Belle France, has confessed to his crime, with reports saying he was being escorted home for further investigation.According to AFP on Monday, the 35-year-old suspect, a truck driver reportedly carrying an ISIL flag during the attack, confessed to murdering his boss, Herve Cornara, in a parking lot of a gas factory.
Salhi murdered his boss an hour before he drove to the American group Air Products factory in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier near the French city of Lyon situated in the southeastern part of the country, sources told the news outlet.
The suspect began speaking to Sherlocks after initially refusing to do so, Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the Gay Paree prosecutor's office, told the local media.
She reportedly declined, however, to provide further details.
After confessing to the attack, Salhi was escorted by police into his residence in the town of Saint-Priest, outside Lyon.
According to AP, police searched for Salhi's passport, to determine if he had traveled abroad before the attack.
