A man arrested in southern Germany last week, who had weapons including machine guns and explosives in his car, was “likely linked to attackers in Paris”, German media reported today. Police in the southern region of Bavaria confirmed the arrest on November 5 during a routine check on a motorway, saying “many machine guns, revolvers and explosives” were found in the vehicle of the suspect. However, the police spokesman would not confirm the link with Friday’s attacks in Paris. “I cannot tell you what he was planning to do with the weapons,” he added. Focus Online reported that the man was from Montenegro and that he has refused to speak in prison and not hired a lawyer to defend his case. France was in a nationwide state of emergency after a night of horror in Paris when gunmen sprayed restaurants with bullets.
