Morning Star.png Police Arrest Seven after Paris Terror World in solidarity; Manhunt continues James Tweedie, The Morning Star, London, 16 November 2015 Seven suspects in Friday's terrorist attacks on Paris were arrested in Belgium yesterday, one of them a French citizen. Three of the Islamic State (Isis) suicide bombers were also identified as French, with Parisian police confirming one lived in a Paris suburb. A Belgian official said two of the seven bombers were Frenchmen living in Brussels, as was one of the seven detainees. Three more suspects were arrested there on Saturday. Authorities said three teams of attackers were involved and seven suicide bombers blew themselves up - three near the stadium, three at the concert hall and one not far from it. The owner of a Syrian passport found next to one bomber's body at the Stade de France apparently entered the EU through Greece on October 3, then travelled though Macedonia, Serbia and Croatia. EU officials say there is a brisk trade in forged Syrian documents to refugees. A black Seat car known to have been used in the attacks was found in the suburb of Montreuil with three Kalashnikov assault rifles inside. Meanwhile thousands of troops were deployed in the French capital as President Francois Hollande consulted opposition leaders Nicolas Sarkozy and fascist National Front leader Marine Le Pen. Mr Sarkozy said that France should work with Russia to defeat Isis in Syria. "We need everyone . there can't be two coalitions in Syria," he said. French Communist Party national secretary Pierre Laurent called on the French people "not to give in to fear, to come together for liberty, equality and fraternity - and peace. "Together, we must firmly reject hatred and racism," he said. German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen warned against linking the attacks to refugees from Syria and elsewhere. Messages of solidarity poured in from world leaders including Russian President Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Jinping, India's Narendra Modi, South Africa's Jacob Zuma, Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, Cuba's Raul Castro and Syria's Bashar al-Assad. In comments to journalists on Saturday, Mr Assad said that Syria was ready to work with any nation to fight terrorism, but that "the French government is not serious yet." "You cannot talk about intelligence cooperation without political cooperation." Mr Hollande's government has previously supplied money and arms to Syrian rebel groups - in breach of a now-lifted embargo.
