The Voice of America (VOA) website reports today (July 3, 2012) that French authorities have arrested the administrator of an extremist website who is suspected of playing a role in recruiting and financing for al-Qaida and other terrorist groups.
The French prosecutor's office said the Tunisian national -- who lives in the French city of Toulon -- was being questioned today.
The prosecutor said there is evidence the suspect may have played a role in collecting funds for weapons purchases by various groups, including Fatah al-Islam and the Islamic State of Iraq.
The prosecutor added that he is also suspected of financing and recruiting for such groups.
