Suspect in Louvre attack quizzed for first time

PARIS – French investigators Sunday begin questioning a suspect in the attack on troops outside the Louvre Museum in Paris, but the man has so far refused to speak, a judicial source says.

The suspect, believed to be an Egyptian national, was shot in the stomach and seriously wounded after lunging at soldiers with a machete during Friday’s incident. Investigators decided to question him in hospital after his condition improved, the source says.
