FOX News – “Police investigating last weekend’s deadly shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, Belgium, that left at least three people dead have arrested a Frenchman suspected of having ties to jihadists based in Syria.

The BBC and Sky News, both citing Agence France-Presse, reported that 29-year-old Mehdi Nemmouche was arrested in the city of Marseille in southern France. Investigation sources told AFP that Nemmouche was carrying a handgun and a Kalashnikov rifle similar to those used in the May 24 attack when he was arrested.

Amid reports that the suspect had joined Islamic extremists in Syria before returning to Europe, French President Francois Hollande promised Sunday to fight homegrown radicals who return from the war-ravaged Middle Eastern country with violent plans.

The BBC reported that Nemmouche was arrested on board a bus that had arrived in Marseille from Amsterdam via Brussels. The BBC also reported that Nemmouche is believed to be from the town of Roubaix, which is located in northern France, near the border with Belgium.

The man was found to have a revolver and an automatic weapon of the same type used in the Brussels shootings May 24, and ballistics analyses are under way to determine if it is the same weapon.” Read more.
