Man arrested carrying 2 handguns at Disneyland Paris

PARIS — A man arrested on Thursday by French police at a hotel in the Disneyland Paris amusement park is a 28-year-old European who had a two handguns and a Koran in his bag, a police source said.

The man was unknown to police prior to the incident and his bag set off a security alarm as he went through a metal detector at the park's New York Hotel, the source said.

Police were searching for a woman who may have been accompanying him, but disappeared during the security check, the source added.

France remains in a state of emergency since Islamist gunmen and suicide bombers killed 130 people in a series of jihadist attacks in and near Paris in November.
