Paris attacks: Twelve suspects held overnight

Twelve suspects have been arrested in the Paris region over last week's attacks in the French capital that killed 17 people.

They are being questioned about possible logistical support, such as guns or weapons that they could have given to the gunmen.

Reports say the Police conducted raids in five towns in the Paris region.

Last week's violence began with an attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine, a kosher supermarket and the Police were also attacked.

Meanwhile, German Police say they have arrested two suspects following raids on suspected Islamist sites.

Neighbouring Spain has also launched an inquiry after it was revealed that one of the Paris gunmen, Amedy Coulibaly, had visited Madrid days before the attacks.
