France Arrests Paris Woman for Alleged al-Qaida Links
Officers with France's DCRI domestic intelligence agency on Tuesday arrested a Paris woman suspected of links to al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
A source close to the investigation said the woman was arrested around 6:30 am (04:30 GMT) at her apartment in the working-class Belleville district of Paris.
She was arrested as part of a preliminary investigation into a conspiracy to commit "terrorist acts", the source said, without providing further details.
Based in Yemen, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is considered one the deadliest franchises of the international militant network.
