Report: Arrest in Germany last week linked to Paris attacks

The German media reports that a 51-year-old man arrested in the country last week after firearms were discovered in his car is being linked to the Paris attacks.

Public broadcaster Bayrischer Rundfunk says that German authorities informed French officials about the arrest of the man near the German-Austrian border on Nov. 5, but doesn’t provide a source for its information.

Bavarian state police spokesman Ludwig Waldinger confirms that firearms, explosives and hand grenades were found, but says “we are providing no further information at this point.”
