Authorities in Germany say they have arrested a
Bosnian man sought by Belgium in connection with the 2015 Islamic extremist
attacks in Paris.
Dresden prosecutors said Thursday that the
39-year-old suspect, whom they didn’t identify, was arrested a week ago. They
said he is suspected of being connected to the Paris attacks and is wanted by
Belgian authorities for alleged support of a terrorist organization. They gave
no further details in a statement on the nature of his suspected involvement.
The man was ordered held in custody pending possible
extradition by a court in the eastern town of Merseburg.
Islamic extremists attacked several targets in Paris
on Nov. 13, 2015, including the Bataclan music hall, killing 130 people.
