(AFP) – French police were holding two suspects Wednesday after finding several gas cylinders in a car near Paris’s Notre Dame cathedral, sources close to the investigation said. The Peugeot 607 was discovered abandoned at the weekend with its hazard lights flashing, the sources said. The owner of the car and another person, who are both known to security services, were arrested on Tuesday and anti-terror investigators have launched a probe. France remains on high alert for terror attacks. In November, suicide bombers and gunmen killed 130 people in Paris in a series of attacks claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group. A bar employee working near the cathedral raised the alert on Sunday after noticing a gas cylinder on the back seat of the car, which had no number plates, a police source said. That cylinder was found to be empty but five full cylinders were found in the boot of the car. No detonators were found, police said. The car was parked in a side street opposite the cathedral on the left bank of the Seine. The car’s owner was identified on Tuesday.
