The latest on the deadly attacks in Paris and the heightened security in Europe.
Jawad Bendaoud, 29, is the first person suspected of a direct link to the attackers to be charged in connection with the attacks.
The prosecutor said he wants him charged with participation in a terrorist enterprise and transport and detention of explosives for having arms in his home in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis, where suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed in a seven-hour police raid on Nov. 18.
Prosecutor Francois Molins says the suspected mastermind of the Paris attacks, Abdalhamid Abaaoud, is believed to have been planning a suicide attack on the French capital's La Defense business district on Nov. 18 or 19.
The attacks killed 130 people and injured hundreds when gunmen and suicide bombers hit a packed concert hall, a cafe, a restaurant and attempted to strike at a soccer match.
