Arrest of a new suspect in the attack on Charlie Hebdo

On Friday, a new suspect in the Paris bombing was arrested in front of the former headquarters of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper, who had previously lived with the attacker and had been taken into custody pending investigation.

Thus, the number of detainees rose to seven on Saturday morning, including the main suspect, who was arrested by the police shortly after the attack, which resulted in the fall of two people in critical condition, born in Pakistan and 18 years.

The “BFMTV” channel said that so far, the suspect has not been charged.

All seven are still in custody.

A gunman, with a machete intended to cut meat, attacked two people who had gone out to smoke a cigarette in front of an office building, where armed militants killed two employees of the satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo”, five years ago.

French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanan said in a statement to the French television channel France 2 that the attack took place “on the street that housed the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, and this is the approach of the extremist terrorists, and not there is no doubt that this is a new bloody attack against our country. “

The authorities had announced the arrest of two people suspected of participating in the attack.

One of the two detainees (first), after the stabbing that shook the French capital, Paris, admitted that he was the author of the attack, while investigators investigate the complicity of the second man with him, according to French media.
