Paris: A new suspect in the attack in Paris was arrested on Friday in front of the former headquarters of the newspaper Charlie Hebdo, who previously lived with the attacker, and was taken into custody pending investigation, a judicial source told AFP on Saturday .
Police arrested the main suspect in Batsil Square shortly after the attack, which left two people in critical condition, who was born in Pakistan and is eighteen years old. He came to France three years ago when he was a minor.
On the other hand, an Algerian, thirty-three years old, was present at the scene of the attack with a knife, “after his acquittal,” according to the same judicial source.
A source familiar with the file said that Al-Jazaery’s account that he “witnessed (the attack), persecuted the perpetrator and then was threatened, was proven during the investigation.
The number of detainees awaiting investigation on Saturday morning reached seven, including five men who were in one of the residences of the suspected main suspect in Bantan, near Paris.
Two residences used, apparently by the main suspect, in Sergey and Bantan, were searched in the Paris suburb.
Friday’s attack took place as the trial for the deadly attack on the headquarters of the satirical weekly “Charlie Hebdo” in January 2015 continues.
The Public Ministry for Terrorism Cases investigated the attack that fueled the terrible memory of 2015, which in January saw the attack on Charlie Hebdo and then more deadly attacks on November 13 in Paris.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmarnan suggested that the attack was an “Islamic terrorist act”, denouncing “a new bloody attack against our country.”
