France: Terror attack near Paris – Arrests in the suspect's environment

Three more people close to the suspect in the Paris region shooting have been detained by French authorities. The anti-terrorism prosecutor's office in Paris said the arrests were made overnight and yesterday evening, following one earlier arrest on Friday. The suspect, a 39-year-old man, was also kept in police custody after a first interrogation, with his health deemed compatible with the measure.

A blood test is underway to determine his "toxicological load" after the shooting, which killed one person and injured five others, including a 12-year-old girl.
