French police say they have arrested eight suspects in connection with a synagogue bombing in Tunisia that killed 19 people earlier this year.

The suspects were detained near the French city of Lyon and were being questioned by agents from the French counterintelligence service.

Most of the victims in the synagogue attack in Djerba, were German tourists.

Germany believes that the bombing may have been carried out by members of the al-Qaida terrorist network.

I wonder how these people in Lyon are connected to the explosion. That suspicious phone call went to Germany, didn't it?

Yes, but maybe there is also a connection to Lyon. There are a lot of Tunesian. Moroccan and Algerian people there.
