A French-Moroccan suspected "jihadist" has been detained at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, the interior ministry said on Saturday, reports FRANCE 24.
The suspect was arrested shortly after arriving from Turkey, where he had been expelled by authorities.
A statement from the interior ministry said the suspect was arrested upon his arrival in France by officers of the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI) as part of a preliminary investigation into a possible "conspiracy to plan terrorist acts".
The office of Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve hailed the arrest as being the result of successful international cooperation – in particular with Turkey, which it said is known to be "the primary transit route for aspiring jihadists en route to Syria or Iraq".
Suspects in terror-related cases can be detained for up to 96 hours without being formally charged.
The name and age of suspect have not been officially released.
