The main suspect in the recent bombing in the French city of Lyon, in which 14 people were wounded, has admitted to being linked to the Islamic State, French counter-terrorism prosecutor Remi Ejc said.
Ejc stated in a statement that the suspect, a 24-year-old man, admitted that he made the explosive device himself, which he then placed in front of a bakery in Lyon.
As reported by AP, Ejc added that the suspect will be brought before an investigating judge.
The suspect, identified by French police as Mohamed Hisham, was arrested on Monday and entered French territory on a tourist visa in August 2017.
AP states that the police did not release information about his nationality, but that some French media mention that he is Algerian.
He was unknown to the police before the incident in Lyon.
The attack, which took place on May 24, was caught on security cameras, showing a man riding a bicycle to a bakery in the center of Lyon.
A man leaves a paper package on the concrete in front of a bakery, after which he leaves on a bicycle the same way he came.
One minute later, an explosion was recorded on the videos. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
