Three more questioned in Tunisia synagogue attack...
French authorities detained three more people Monday for questioning about a deadly attack on a synagogue in Tunisia. The detentions were ordered by France's top anti-terrorism judge, Jean-Louis Bruguiere, who is investigating the April 11 attack at the Ghriba synagogue on the resort island of Djerba. Agents of the DST, France's counterintelligence service, arrested the two men and one woman in the Paris region, police said. They can be held without charge for questioning for up to four days under French anti-terrorism laws. One of those detained was an alleged specialist in providing false documents, police said. He also is suspected of being an acquaintance of Walid Naouar, the 22-year-old brother of the main suspect in the attack, Nizar Naouar. Aren't they all specialists in false documents? Nizar Naouar is thought to have driven the natural gas tanker that exploded outside the synagogue. He reportedly died in the attack. Bruguiere, the French judge, last week placed a friend and two relatives of Nizar Naouar, including his brother, Walid, under investigation - a step short of being charged. All three remain in custody. Keeping them there will prevent further explosions, until the Bad Guys can bring up reinforcements... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-11-19 |
