Paris attacks: Spain seizes Coulibaly 'gun supplier'


Spanish police have arrested a man suspected of supplying arms to Paris gunman Amedy Coulibaly, who murdered four people at a kosher supermarket in January 2015.
Antoine Denive, 27, was detained in a joint Franco-Spanish raid on a house in Malaga, Madrid authorities say.
The Frenchman is suspected of fleeing France weeks after the 9 January supermarket siege.
In all, 17 people were killed in three days of Islamist violence in Paris.
  • Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi murdered 12 people in an attack of the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo
  • Amedy Coulibaly shot dead a policewoman in Montrouge
  • Coulibaly then held up a supermarket, murdering four Jewish customers and employees, before being shot by police
Spain's interior ministry said two other suspects from Serbia and Montenegro were detained during the raid on a building in the Rincon de la Victoria area of Malaga on Tuesday.
The French suspect, from the Pas de Calais region of north-west France, was said to have had ties to Serbs who may have provided him with arms and ammunition.
He appeared before a judge in Madrid on Wednesday and denied the charges. Unconfirmed reports said he had agreed to be extradited to France.
