French Police Arrest Three Over Lyon Bomb Blast
2019-05-28
[EpochTimes] French police have arrested three people, including a 24-year-old computer science student of Algerian nationality, in connection with last week’s bomb blast in Lyon that injured 13 people, authorities said.

A police source said the three arrested were the student, who does not have a police record, a minor who studies at a high school in Lyon and is also of Algerian nationality, and a woman.

The Paris prosecutors’ office said that minor was a member of the main suspect’s family circle. No information was provided about the woman.
Typical jihadi cell, then. Is the woman a mother, a sister, or an aunt?
Security camera footage of the incident shows a partially masked suspect wheeling a bicycle to the scene, before leaving a bag outside a branch of a popular bakery chain.

DNA traces were found on the remains of the parcel,
Gotcha!
according to a source close to investigation.

Another source said the judicial police arrested the man on the street after having tailed him.
*Snicker* Obliviousness is him. Well done, French judicial police, and in jig time, too.
They decided not to arrest him at his apartment, the source said, for fear that there could still be some triacetone triperoxide or TATP, the powerful but unstable homemade explosive that was used in the attack.
Let us await further revelations of the many nefarious connections these dear little self-radicalized known wolves will turn out to have.
The Times of Israel had an earlier article, superseded by the above, which adds some interesting details:
French police arrest four people over a package bomb kaboom in the heart of the southeastern city of Lyon last week which injured 13 people, authorities say.

A police raid is under way in a building in the Oullins suburb just south of the city, a few hours after the arrest of the suspected bomber, a 24-year-old Algerian IT student.

The man’s parents were later incarcerated
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
and taken in for questioning, as well as a second student of Algerian nationality who is a family relation, according the Gay Paree prosecutor’s office, which has jurisdiction over terrorism cases in La Belle France.
They must have released Papa, which makes the previously undescribed woman the miscreant’s Mom in whose bathtub he no doubt mixed up his Mother of Satan bomb, just like the magazines told him to do.
