The couple was picked up late on Tuesday night near Montargis, about 110 kilometres south of Paris, a police source told AFP. Their detention raises to four the number of people held in connection with the suspect car, an abandoned Peugeot 607 which was parked several hundred metres from Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. The first couple, who were detained at a service station on a road in southern France, were known to the security services for having links to radical Islamists. The daughter of the car's owner, described by her father as being radicalised, is also wanted for questioning, police said. The car's hazard lights were flashing, it had no registration plates, and it contained seven gas cylinders, one of which was empty.
