Abdelhakim Dekhar Identified as Paris Shooting Suspect

[kurva]

[QUOTE]Abdelhakim Dekhar was identified as the Paris shooting suspect on Wednesday.

BFM-TV, one of the media outlets where a shooting took place recently, identified the shooter, who was taken into custody today.

Dekhar was previously sentenced to four years in prison in 1998 for complicity in the Rey-Maupin quintiple murder case. Dekhar was convicted of giving a gun to Florence Rey, whose boyfriend Audry Maupin killed five people in October 1994 in Paris.

Police took a DNA sample of Dekhar and the DNA matches the suspects in the spate of attacks: the first at the prominent daily newspaper Liberation, a shooting outside French bank Societe Generale, a brief hostage-taking in which the suspect hijacked a car, and a similar shooting incident three days before at news network BFM-TV.

Agnes Thibault Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the French prosecutor’s office, said earlier that “a suspect with a strong resemblance to the shooter” was arrested Wednesday evening in an underground parking lot in Bois-Colombes, 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of Paris.

She could not confirm French media reports that he is being treated in the hospital.

The motive for the attacks are still unclear.

Authorities released video footage and photos of the shooter who was wielding a pump-action shotgun.
