'...The owner of a car found near Notre Dame cathedral on Saturday containing
several gas cylinders is on an intelligence services watchlist of people suspected
of religious radicalisation, police officials say.
The Peugeot 607, which had no registration plates, contained seven gas cylinders,
one of them empty on the front passenger seat.
The car owner was taken into custody but later released, one judicial official said.
A couple, aged 34 and 29, were arrested at a motorway lay-by on Tuesday in southern
France in connection with the incident and remain in custody, the official said.
The car was found with its hazard lights flashing, as if to attract attention, police
said on Wednesday. “We think he may have been trying to carry out a test-run,”
one official said.
The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said he was waiting for a report
from investigators on what the possible motives were for the incident.
There was no detonating device present in the car, which was parked on Quai de
Montebello, on the left bank of the Seine and just metres from Notre Dame cathedral,
one of Paris’s many popular tourist attractions. Documents written in Arabic were
found in the car.
More than 200 people have been killed in terror attacks in France over the past
18 months.
The country remains on maximum alert after calls by the Islamic State group for
followers to attack targets in France, which is bombing Isis bases in Iraq and Syria...'
