An anti-terrorism investigation was initiated on Sunday after the authorities discovered gas canisters in a car parked near the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris.
Two suspects linked to the incident were arrested, reports Reuters. One is a man who was already investigated by the Parisian police because they believed he is linked to ISIS. On Sunday morning, a resident called the authorities after the suspicious vehicle stationed in the Quai de Montebello area draw his attention.
The strange vehicle is a ‘Peugeot 607’ and it didn’t have license plates. ‘The car had no passengers and it seemed abandoned’, admitted the man.
‘The gas tanks were not connected to any detonator or pyrotechnic trigger’, added him.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls stated Tuesday morning on RTL that the terror threat is officially at its highest.
According to the Minister of Internal Affairs Bernard Cazeneuve, only in August, the French Security Services detained seven people linked to ISIS and other three were planning to commit terrorist attacks before they were unmasked.
Initial reports said that a couple, a man aged 34 and a woman aged 29, were arrested and are being questioned by French domestic intelligence agents.
Reportedly six people are now being held in custody and Paris is on high terror alert since the on-going terrorist attacks from November 13, in which 130 people lost their lives.
