Xinhua, November 17, 2015 Adjust font size:

Police on Tuesday arrested three suspects in a German town near Germany's border with Belgium and the Netherlands for their possible connection with Paris attacks on November 13, German media reported.

Two women and a man were arrested around 9:30 a.m. local time(0830 GMT) at a job center in Alsdorf in west Germany, German newspaper Aachener Zeitung reported.

Police made the arrests after they were told one of the fugitives, who might be a suspect in Paris attacks, could be staying in the area, the newspaper cited a police spokesman.

The German police are still looking for another suspect, according to the report.

At least 129 people were killed and more than 300 others injured in the Paris terror attacks on November 13. Endit
