Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The man suspected of aiding terrorism who was arrested by French police 8 October was charged in Paris Monday 12 October and it appears likely he will remain in detention. Internet surveillance of terrorist groups led investigators to e-mail exchanges the 32-year-old man had with terrorist groups. Swiss television TSR quotes a source close to the man’s file who says that he had not moved to the stage of being involved in planning attacks but that he had shown his interest and desire to do so.

Cern, where the man has been working for a “user institute” on the LHCb project, issued an updated press release Monday, clarifying how it works with user institutes and their employees. The LHCb is designed to study what happened after the Big Bang. The man had no access to sensitive areas or materials, Cern insists.

He also appears to have been teaching one day a week at EPFL in Lausanne, but the university has not been given the man’s name by police.
