French police arrest four 'jihadist' suspects

(ANSA) - Paris, June 2 - French police arrested four suspects on Monday for allegedly recruiting militants to fight in Syria. The suspects were tracked down to the region around Paris as well as the south of France for ties to "a jihadist cell," said French Interior Minister Berard Cazeneuve, a day after it emerged a 29-year-old Frenchman, Mehdi Nemmouche, was in police custody for links to the murder of three people at the Brussels Jewish Museum last week.
    Investigators say Nemmouche, who spent more than a year in Syria, has claimed responsibility for the shooting spree.
    Without providing further details to Monday's arrests, Cazeneuve said there were people in the country recruiting jihadists.
