French police have detained two suspects in connection with an alleged attempted bombing near the Bank of America headquarters in Paris.
This was reported by BFMTV.
The arrests took place on Saturday night in the Essonne department.
According to the prosecutor’s office, both suspects are minors. One of them was arrested earlier, and the other after he fled the scene.
Another person was detained along with the suspect, but their involvement in planning the attack has not been confirmed.
The day before, police prevented an explosion by detaining a person with a homemade explosive device near a bank.
According to preliminary reports, the suspect was promised 600 euros to carry out the mission.
The French Minister of the Interior did not rule out that the incident could be linked to events in the Middle East.
On the morning of Saturday, March 28, French police prevented an explosion near an American bank in Paris. A person who attempted to detonate a homemade explosive device was detained.
As a reminder, Dutch prosecutors stated that four men suspected of involvement in the explosion at a synagogue in Rotterdam may have acted with terrorist intent. The incident, which occurred on Monday, March 16, is being investigated as a possible terrorist act.
