Le Monde newspaper reported the suspects detained Wednesday were identified by people arrested in a previous roundup. The new suspects had allegedly been seen with Reid eight months to a year before he boarded the flight.
Though police believe Reid had logistical support in the French capital, they have so far been unable to track down solid evidence, Le Monde reported.
In April, French police took seven Pakistanis into custody on suspicions they had helped Reid. Six were later released, and the seventh, who was in France illegally, was sent back to Pakistan, the newspaper said.
Did they just let them go?
