MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Spanish police have detained a man who allegedly supplied arms to gunman Amedy Coulibaly responsible for January 2015 Paris attacks, the Spanish Interior Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
"[Police] detain in #Malaga the supplier of arms used by jihadist Amedy Coulibaly to commit the attacks in Paris," the ministry wrote on Twitter.
On January 9, 2015, a man armed with two Kalashnikovs, burst into a kosher supermarket at Porte de Vincennes in east Paris, opened fire and took hostages. Later that day, commando units stormed the supermarket, killing the assailant identified as Amedy Coulibaly, 32. Four people were killed by Coulibaly in the shootout, 15 hostages were released.
In late 2015, French media reported two men were detained on suspicion of providing weapons to Coulibaly.
