One of the suspects was apprehended around 10 pm (2000 GMT) on Saturday at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport as he was about to board a plane departing to Algeria, French media Le Parisien and Paris Match reported, and the second was arrested not long after in the Seine-Saint-Denis suburb north of Paris, according to Le Parisien.
