Man With 'Links To Paris Gunman' Arrested

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 13 Januari 2015 | 23.12

A man arrested in Bulgaria was in contact with one of the men who carried out attacks in Paris last week, prosecutors say.

Fritz-Joly Joachin, 29, a French citizen of Haitian origin "was in contact several times with one of the two brothers - Cherif Kouachi," public prosecutor Darina Slavova told AFP news agency.

He was arrested on January 1 while trying to cross into Turkey.

Slavova said the contact happened before Joachin left France on December 30, a week before the Kouachi brothers killed 12 people at the Paris offices of French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo on January 7. 

Joachin was first detained on a European arrest warrant issued by France following claims by his wife that he had kidnapped their three-year-old son.

But as French police looked into the contacts of the Kouachi brothers, Bulgarian prosecutors got a second European arrest warrant issued by a court in Paris.

"The charges are for participation in an organised crime group whose aim was the organisation of terrorist acts," said Slavova.

Security forces in France say they are still hunting members of a group behind the deadly Paris terror attacks.

Up to six terror cell members may still be at large after the Paris attacks in which 17 people were murdered, French police warned.

One of them has been spotted driving a car registered to the partner of one of the dead attackers, according to the authorities.

Police officials said a search was being carried out in the Paris area for the Mini Cooper registered to Hayat Boumeddiene, the girlfriend of Amedy Coulibaly, who gunned down a police officer before killing four people in a Jewish supermarket last Friday.

The attack came after co-conspirators Said and Cherif Kouachi massacred 12 people at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday.

All three killers were finally cornered and died in police assaults on Friday.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Coulibaly "undoubtedly" had an accomplice and "the hunt will go on" for anyone who helped him.

Boumeddiene remains on the run amid reports she has fled to Syria.
