A FRENCHMAN ARRESTED in Bulgaria on January 1 trying to cross into Turkey was in contact with one of the men who carried out Islamist attacks in Paris last week, prosecutors have said.
Fritz-Joly Joachin, 29, a French citizen of Haitian origin, “was in contact several times with one of the two brothers — Cherif Kouachi,” public prosecutor Darina Slavova told AFP.
Reuters reports that the man has agreed to be extradited to France, and that a court will make a final decision on Friday.
He was arrested at a border checkpoint under a European arrest warrant alleging that he had abducted his 3-year-old son, and was planning to take him to Syria, according to the Reuters report. A second arrest warrant cites possible association with the France gunmen and conspiracy in terrorism.
The Kouachi brothers — Cherif and Said — carried out their massacre at the Paris offices of French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday of last week.
Two days later they were shot dead by French security forces.
Around ten thousand extra troops are being deployed across the country in the wake of the attacks.

Why are you so bothered by this?
Because it is very poor journalistic standards right across the main media spectrum. With the exception of The Telegraph and The Mirror. How reported it four days after it happened.
I’d can’t remember hearing of Limoges before. If someone had asked me where was I wouldn’t have had a clue!
Michael, give it a rest. It’s a tragedy that has nothing to do with the main story.
Jane Travers_ That’s what the Shills would tell you.
A good investigative Journalist would probe this issue.
Yes it is, I agree with you. But it is also very important news. There is enough fakery about: http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/6454940?utm_hp_ref=uk

Michael, when Frank agrees with you you know you’re on a hiding to nothing.
Jane Travers_ the lemmings would certainly agree with you.
Follow the millions….“Je suis Charlie brainwashed”
Hey Frank, you know that lemmings don’t actually throw themselves off cliffs, don’t you?
Jane Travers_You would certainly know enough about them.
Yeah Frank, I read their comments daily :)
Michael. They didn’t speak about it on the French news on TV5 either.
Hi Journal, Can I ask why my comment about NOT murdering people for revenge was deleted?
@ frank
9+9 = 18 + 3 =21
Guns + idiots = war
Religion vs religion = stupidity
Media coverage + photos = fake
