Police say they’ve discovered an arsenal of weapons and explosives at the apartment of the man suspected of planting bombs around Geneva, seemingly in an effort to blackmail the watchmaker Patek Philippe.
They also believe he was acting alone.
The man was arrested at a petrol station on Rue Louis-Casaï close to the airport last week. He’d bought a plane ticket to Dubai.
The 60 year old is described as a photojournalist with experience of war and disaster zones.
