Six held over failed shoe-bomb attack
The six suspects, Algerians and Pakistanis, were taken into custody in a suburban Paris roundup of alleged associates of “shoe bomber” Richard Reid, officials said.
Reid, an avowed follower of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, has pleaded guilty in US federal court to charges he tried to set off explosives in his sneakers during a December 22 flight from Paris to Miami.
