Report: France Detains 8 Linked to Qaida
PARIS (AP) - French authorities detained eight men linked to the al-Qaida branch behind a deadly bombing at Algeria's U.N. offices, a news report said Thursday.
Le Figaro newspaper reported that the men, who are suspected of providing logistical support to al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa, were rounded up for questioning Tuesday in the Paris area and near the Normandy city of Rouen.
At the suspects' homes, police seized computers and telecommunications equipment that investigators believe was to be sent to the terror group's hideouts in Algeria.
The Interior Ministry did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment on the report.
Al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa claimed responsibility for Dec. 11 twin truck bombings - of the U.N. offices and an Algerian government building - that killed at least 37 people, including 17 U.N. staff members.
