24-year-old Algerian citizen Mohamed Hichem was arrested by the police yesterday after a 3 days long manhunt. He appears to be the prime suspect in last Fridays’ bomb blast that injured 13, including a 10 years old child, in Lyon, France.
Mr Hichem was born in Oran, Algeria. He arrived in France in 2016 to follow courses in computer science, but was later denied a visa and was never deported back. He has since been living with his parents in Lyon’s suburban area and is unemployed.
AN EXPLOSION in the heart of Lyon branded by French President Emmanuel Macron "an attack" has injured several people, including a eight-year-old girl, according to a local source.
