French authorities have arrested two additional suspects in connection with a thwarted bombing plot in central Paris, according to reports from French media. The arrests follow an initial apprehension made at Bank of America's Paris headquarters near the Champs-Élysées avenue. The first suspect, who was reportedly attempting to ignite a homemade bomb at the time of arrest, allegedly told police he received the bombing assignment through Snapchat in exchange for 600 euros, according to the newspaper Le Parisien.
A minor arrested earlier in connection with the plot has had their detention extended. French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has linked the prevented attack to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, though specific details about this connection were not provided in the initial reports. The arrests occurred over the weekend, with the latest developments reported on March 29, 2026.
