German authorities are investigating whether a man arrested in the southern state of Bavaria last week has ties to the perpetrators of Friday’s terror attacks in Paris after discovering assault weapons and explosives in his vehicle.
“There’s a link to France but it hasn’t been established that there’s a link to this attack,” Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told reporters in Berlin on Saturday. Officials found “very dangerous weapons” in the man’s car and a Paris address entered into the navigation unit. “Whether there’s a connection is being investigated,” de Maiziere said.
