French police arrest 2 Lyon explosion suspects

French police detained two suspects involved in an explosion in southeastern city of Lyon at the weekend.

Interior Minister Christophe Castaner confirmed the first arrest Monday in a Twitter message by saying that, "Package bomb in Lyon: a suspect has been arrested."

Identified as a 24-year-old student in an engineering school, the suspect, unknown to the police, was detained on Monday morning while he was getting off a bus in central Lyon, the city mayor and also ex-interior minister Greard Collomb told news channel BFMTV.

Local reports said later that a second suspect was arrested.

A home-made bomb explosion injured at least 13 people in Lyon on Friday afternoon.
