New arrest in Paris attacks linked to apartment raid
- 9 years ago
French police have arrested two people outside Paris — one of them for suspected links to the only man charged in connection with the Nov. 13 attacks in the capital, according to two officials close to the investigation.
The first arrest on Tuesday was of a 25-year-old man suspected of being an intermediary to Jawad Bendaoud, who already has been handed preliminary charges for providing housing to Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected planner of the Paris attacks that killed 130 people.
The intermediary, whose name wasn't disclosed, was arrested in his home in Malakoff, south of Paris by counterterrorism police, officials said.
A few hours later, police went with the suspect to search another apartment in Saint-Denis, a northern Paris suburb, and arrested a woman who was there.
