Guinea-Bissau arrests French tourist killers

Bissau - Police in Guinea-Bissau have arrested three more suspects in connection with the murder of four French tourists in Mauritania three weeks ago. Five detainees have now been extradited to Mauritania. Two were arrested in a hotel on Saturday in the capital Bissau on suspicion of direct involvement. The remaining three were apprehended shortly after and are accused of murder or complicity. Two suspects say they belong to al-Qaeda.

The French tourists were shot dead on 24 December in southern Mauritania, which is considered a relatively safe area. The Dakar Rally was cancelled in the wake of the murders.
