French prosecutors seek detention for 4 suspects in foiled Paris Bank of America bomb plot

The French counterterrorism prosecutor's office said Wednesday four individuals are suspected of “terrorist criminal conspiracy” after police thwarted a bomb attack outside a Bank of America building in Paris in a case believed to have links to Iran. Police arrested one of the suspects outside the bank in the early hours of Saturday morning in front of the building where they found a homemade bomb made up of a gasoline-filled container taped to a powerful firework. Prosecutors requested the four suspects, including three minors, to be placed in detention pending trial as it formally opened a judicial investigation into the incident, which follows similar actions across Europe.
