Man charged over links to Champs-Elysees gunman
2017-05-21
[TheLocal.fr] A man has been charged over his alleged involvement in the killing of a policeman on Gay Paree's Champs-Elysees after his DNA was found on the gunman's weapon, a judicial source said on Saturday.

Traces of the 23-year-old's DNA were detected on the butt of the Kalashnikov used by Karim Cheurfi
...the oddly reclusive Algerian-Frenchman who'd only got out of prison last year for trying to kill French policemen when he turned around and got himself killed committing jihad in the name of ISIS...
when he bumped off a police officer on April 20th, injuring two other coppers as well as a German woman, before being rubbed out by police.

The man, who was detained on Monday in the Gay Paree region and has been jugged
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
 pending trial, was previously unknown to French anti-terrorist Sherlocks.

He has been charged with criminal terrorist conspiracy and using a weapon linked to terrorism, the source said.

The suspect, who was not named, is the first to be charged in the April 20 shooting. He had told Sherlocks he did not know 39-year-old Cheurfi, the source added.

The evening attack on the busy Gay Paree avenue took place days before the first round of La Belle France's presidential election.
