Frenchman held over Jewish museum killings
Print Edition
A FRENCHMAN arrested over killings at a Belgian Jewish museum had traveled to Syria and claimed responsibility for the shootings in a video, prosecutors said yesterday.
Fears have been mounting that the hundreds of European radicals who are joining the fight in Syria against President Bashar al-Assad could stage attacks when they get home.
Police in the southeastern French city of Marseille arrested the suspect, Mehdi Nemmouche, on Friday after he arrived on a bus from Amsterdam, Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said. He had an automatic weapon like that used in the Brussels attack.
The suspect was wrapped up in a white sheet scrawled with the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, an extremist group in Syria, Molins said, adding the suspect had spent about a year in Syria.
At a separate news conference in Brussels, Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic van Leeuw said the suspect had tried to film the killings on May 24, but his camera failed. A video found after his arrest shows his weapons, and includes his voice claiming responsibility.
Belgian police carried out raids in case in the Courtrai region yesterday, where the suspect is believed to have spent time, and are questioning two people there, van Leeuw said.
Two Israeli citizens and a Frenchman died in the Brussels attack.
