France Formally Opens Terror Probe Into Train Attack
PARIS (AP) - The Paris prosecutor's office says authorities are formally opening a judicial investigation into terror-related acts after a thwarted attack on a high-speed train last week.
Prosecutor Francois Molins said Tuesday the decision was based on the actions by 26-year-old Moroccan suspect Ayoub El-Khazzani on the train Friday night and information from other European authorities about his travels and apparent links to radical Islam.
Molins said El-Khazzani notably watched an online video inciting radical violence minutes before the thwarted attack.
