In early October, a 22-year-old young man was arrested in Lorraine in possession of drugs, explosives and a drone.
In the cache set up within his vehicle, customs officers working on the A31 motorway had also found detonators equipped with a device allowing remote triggering.
The young man had been indicted and imprisoned.
The investigators have just returned their analysis of the material seized.
An explosive of Yugoslav origin
According to information from Europe 1, analysis of the material reveals that the two explosive charges were two loaves of tolite, a powerful military explosive of Yugoslav origin, weighing 200 g each.
The two detonators and the two remote firing devices could have made it possible to constitute two remote-controlled homemade bombs.
As for the drone, it is a small model too light to carry loads, perhaps intended for observation.
