Two men were arrested Saturday, April 4, Saint-Maurice, along the Bois de Vincennes, Val-de-Marne, near the Fair throne in possession of explosive. According to sources close to the case, this case has no terrorist dimension at this stage but investigators are questioning the motives of the two men. The two suspects appear as “chemists apprentices” and custody was extended Sunday night twenty-four hours.
The incident occurred shortly before 20 hours Saturday near the Paris carnival which is held in the Bois de Vincennes, which is subject to special monitoring under the Vigipirate, according to a police source.
The two men, aged 25 and 32, were spotted by police in the woods because of a “suspicious behavior” . According to Le Parisien , the suspects were outside their vehicles illegally parked, and bustled around the chest where they pulled a plastic bag with the greatest caution. After verification, the officers of the BAC discovered in the bag two jars containing a total of 285 grams of explosives. According to a police source, this would be the improvised explosive acetone peroxide (TATP). TATP, which can be manufactured from counter products, is a powerful but highly unstable explosive.
The younger of the two suspects is from Seine-Saint-Denis, one of the Val -of-Marne and lives near the scene of the arrest. They are both known for acts of “petty” and “road cases” , said a police source. One of them says Buddhist. Literature relating to this religion was found home in search, said the source close to the case.
The suspects allegedly explained that they wanted to test their explosive in the Bois de Vincennes. The second division of the judicial police in Paris has received the survey. Investigators must determine the use they wanted to do.
