Police in France, Germany and the Netherlands detained 10 people on suspicion of having financial ties to an Uzbek group linked to al Qaeda. Eight of the suspects were arrested in the eastern French city of Mulhouse and in the central Rhone region on Friday, May 16, according to a source close to the French investigation. All of the suspects arrested in France were of Turkish origin, the unnamed source told AFP news agency. The arrests in France were coordinated with police in Germany and the Netherlands. Two other suspects were arrested during those raids and police were reportedly searching the suspects' homes Friday. All those arrested were suspected of supporting a funding network that helped finance the group in Uzbekistan, an unnamed French source told Reuters news agency.
