"The device contained five litres of liquid believed to be fuel and an ignition system, a source close to the investigation said."
"According to a police source, the first suspect said he had been recruited through the Snapchat app to carry out a bombing in exchange for 600 euros ($692)."
"Nunez urged the security forces to be 'extra-vigilant' and increase their presence in railway stations and other crowded places."
"The incident came after more than a month of US and Israeli bombardment of Iran and as talks between key regional players began late Sunday."
Police arrested two additional suspects linked to an attempted bombing outside the Bank of America in Paris. The first suspect, possibly a minor from Senegal, was detained after placing a device containing fuel and an ignition system. He claimed to have been recruited via Snapchat for 600 euros. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez suggested the attack might be connected to proxies linked to Iran amid escalating regional tensions. Authorities are increasing security measures in response to potential threats against US and Israeli interests in France.
