Bomb-Making Materials Found in France

In Paris, France, after the arrest of Islamic radicals were arrested on Saturday, October 6, French police discovered bomb-making materials and numerous weapons in the continuing investigation. French police now see a clear dangerous terrorist cell. Two suspects had been detained in Torcy, Paris with components for bomb making as well as a shotgun and handgun  found. During one of the arrests, suspect Jeremie Loiuse-Sidney had fired on police and was shot dead after the attack. Earlier, police had found Louise-Sidney's DNA on a bomb that was used on an attack on a Jewish market in Paris. Also within Louise-Sidney's home, police had found a list with the names of Jewish institutions. Jewish leaders fear that they are under attack due to the American movie that made fun of and showed Muhammad as well as due to a small French newspaper creating a satirical comic on the same subject matter. Franco Holland, president of France, met with Muslim and Jewish leaders to let them now that they will do all that they can to put an end to radicalism, terrorism, and antisemitism.
