French police have just arrested a 26-year-old Russian-Ukrainian man on suspicion of trying to make explosives and planning to commit acts of violence.
A man suffered severe burns after Tuesday’s explosion in a hotel room in Roissy-en-France, near Paris’s Charles de Gaulle airport.
Investigators found evidence of equipment and materials used to make bombs in his room, the National Counterterrorism Prosecutor’s Office said.
According to French media, guns and fake passports were also found.
Anti-terrorism prosecutors have opened an investigation.
A source told Reuters news agency that they were working with France’s domestic intelligence agency.
The suspect is currently being questioned at the hospital, after being treated for severe burns and then arrested.
He is believed to be a Russian speaker from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, much of which is currently occupied by Russia.
