Paris Attacks: Police Arrest Man Over Suspected Links To Terror Attacks

Police in Paris arrested a man Tuesday in connection to terror attacks that rocked the city in November, Agence France-Presse reported. The 29-year-old was reportedly taken into custody as part of the investigation into the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people.

French police have so far launched 2,700 raids and placed 360 people under house arrest across the country, following the attacks that occurred at six sites around the capital city.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected mastermind of the attacks, was killed five days later in a police raid in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. Abaaoud was reportedly implicated in four of six foiled terrorist attacks by the Islamic State group in France this year.

Other suspected terrorists believed to be associated with the Paris attacks include Salah Abdeslam, who is still on the run and is believed to have traveled to Greece by ferry from Italy in August. Two other suicide bombers are suspected to have crossed over to Leros, Greece, from Turkey in October, disguised as refugees. Last week, Foued Mohamed Aggad, a 23-year-old man from the eastern French city of Strasbourg, was identified as the third bomber involved in attacks at Paris’ Bataclan concert hall.

Meanwhile, last Thursday, Geneva police launched manhunt for four suspects believed to be linked to the attacks. Switzerland also raised its security level and deployed guards at the United Nations offices in Geneva.
