ANTI-TERROR PROBE: French police arrest 14 suspects in 2 operations

French police have arrested no less than 14 suspects in two separate operations in an ongoing anti-terror probe.

In the first operation, cops arrested 10 people in an investigation of suspected suppliers of weapons to one of the attackers who killed 17 people at Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher store in January 2015.

Four others were also nabbed in the town of Trappes west of Paris, the prosecutors’ office said. It said those arrests were unrelated to the weapons probe, but gave no additional details.

The arrests targeted people suspected of involvement in supplying weapons to Amedy Coulibaly, who killed four people in a hostage-taking at the Hypercacher market in eastern Paris and a policewoman in another incident before dying in a shootout with police.

Coulibaly was an associate of brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, who killed 12 at Charlie Hebdo’s Paris office and also were killed in a shootout.
