FRANCE – French police arrested two men after a suspected parcel bomb exploded in Lyon last week, injuring 13 people.

The device, packed with screws and ball bearings, detonated outside a bakery on Friday.

Prosecutors said one of the men arrested was a 24-year-old suspected bomber.

Anti-terrorist prosecutors were leading the investigation, coordinating with Lyon police and France’s internal security service, the General Directorate for Internal Security.
