NOTORIOUS French comedian Dieudonne was arrested Wednesday for being an "apologist for terrorism" after writing a Facebook comment suggesting he sympathised with one of the gunmen that attacked Paris last week, a judicial source said.

Prosecutors had opened the case against him on Monday after he posted "Tonight, as far as I'm concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly" -- mixing the popular slogan "Je Suis Charlie" used in homage to the journalists killed at magazine Charlie Hebdo, with a reference to Friday's Jewish supermarket attacker Amedy Coulibaly.
