Overview
- French police, who intervened early Saturday on Rue de la Boétie, stopped a suspect from lighting a homemade device outside Bank of America and no one was hurt.
- Officers recovered a five‑liter container of liquid with an ignition system containing about 650 grams of explosive powder now under forensic analysis.
- The national anti‑terrorism prosecutor’s office said Sunday it arrested two additional suspects and extended the custody of the first detainee, who is a minor.
- The first suspect told investigators he was contacted on Snapchat and offered €600 to carry out the attack, and one accomplice allegedly filmed the scene.
- Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said the case mirrors recent attacks in Europe linked to the Middle East conflict and noted suspicions about possible foreign sponsors that the investigation must confirm.
