A spokesman for the Stuttgart prosecutor’s office confirmed the arrest of an arms dealer but told AFP he could not confirm or deny a connection with the Paris attacks. Police in Berlin late on Thursday evacuated housing in the south of the German capital after finding a “potentially dangerous” device in the vehicle of two guys arrested during an operation against suspected Islamist extremists.
According to Bild’s sources, French investigators believe that the weapons were then used by the Isis terrorists in the Paris attacks on November 13th which left 130 people dead.
According to “Bild”, the German man had sold two Chinese-made Kalashnikovs and two Zastava M70 machine guns to an “Arab in France”, on November 7.

During a raid at the suspect’s house, police also found 16 other firearms, Bild said.
