French police have arrested four people on suspicion of recruiting militants to fight in Syria.<br /><br />The raids, which took place in the Paris region and in southern France, came a day after it emerged that a Frenchman was being held by police investigating the killing of at least three people at a Jewish museum in Brussels.<br /><br />France’s Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told reporters: “The combat, the battle against terrorists will take place in France, but also everywhere in Europe. Without respite or pause. We will do it by mobilising all our services.”<br /><br />Mehdi Nemmouche, 29, was detained in relation to the Brussels museum attack following a random check in Marseilles on Friday, May 30. He is believed to have recently returned from fighting with Islamist insurgents in Syria.<br /><br />There has been no suggestion of a direct link between Nemmouche’s detention and the four new arrests.
