France remands 'top al-Qaeda man' Naamen Meziche

A Frenchman believed to have had links to a German al-Qaeda cell behind the 11 September attacks on the US has been remanded in custody in Paris.

Naamen Meziche, who is of Algerian descent, has been placed under formal investigation.

He was deported from Pakistan on Tuesday and faces charges of criminal conspiracy regarding a terrorist enterprise.

He was arrested in May last year in Pakistan close to the border with Iran.
