Police: 4 suspects with alleged ties to terror group arrested in France
The Associated Press Monday, March 26, 2007 http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/03/26/europe/EU-GEN-France-Terror-Arrest s.php PARIS: French counterterrorism agents arrested four men of north African origin outside Paris early Monday on suspicion that they had ties to two terror groups dismantled in 2005, officials said. Agents from the French domestic counterintelligence agency DST detained the suspects in Trappes, west of Paris, as part of investigations by three anti-terrorism judges, officials said. Police said the four were allegedly linked to a terror cell known as Ansar al-Fath - or Partisans of Victory - that was dismantled by authorities in late 2005. Four people in that cell, including suspected ringleader Safe Bourada, were detained in 2005, for alleged terror financing. Judicial officials have filed preliminary charges against those four, who remain in custody. Judicial officials said one of the suspects was questioned in a case involving Ouassini Cherifi, a suspected Islamic radical and alleged robber, who was also detained in 2005 following a case of a holdup of an armored car a year earlier, judicial officials said on condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing. Cherifi is also in custody. Under French law, police can hold the suspects arrested Monday up to four days for questioning before deciding whether to file preliminary charges or opting to release them. Preliminary charges mean that the investigating judge has determined there is strong evidence to suggest involvement in a crime. The filing gives the magistrate time to pursue a deeper probe while the suspects await either a trial or release if no crime is found.
