Suspect's note named four left-wing figures, French prosecutors say
French investigators found a note listing four left-wing figures at the home of Kevin Tessier, the suspect in an October shooting near Paris.
The note named activist Assa Traoré, lawmakers Aymeric Caron and Sandrine Rousseau, and Roubaix mayor David Guiraud, along with their phone numbers.
The shooting killed one person and injured five, and Tessier is under investigation on charges including murder and attempted murder linked to a terrorist enterprise.
Tessier told investigators he got the numbers from a website listing leaked data and had not planned an attack on the four.
Prosecutors said the case file offers no evidence of a considered plan to target them.
Eric Zemmour said politicians had not condemned threats against him, adding that he has been under police protection for years.
