Afghan radical planning terrorist attack in Paris is found living rough on the streets

An Afghan radical allegedly planning a terrorist attack in Paris was today found living rough in the city.
Traffic police working in the 18th arrondissement area of Paris recognised him from a picture that had been handed out to all officers.

‘They called security agents supported by soldiers, and the man was arrested this morning,’ said a source close to the case.

‘He was taken to a high-security police station, where he will be interrogated under anti-terrorism legislation.

The source said the man’s name and other details would not be released publicly, and nor would his picture.

This means that only law enforcement officers know what the potential mass murderer looks like.

There had been fears that he might strike at targets in the capital including the public ‘beach’ which is set up alongside the banks of the River Seine every summer.
