© APGotta make that 'terror thing' stick: A CCTV image released by Belgian police of the shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels.
The suspected gunman, 29-year-old Mehdi Nemmouche, was arrested on Friday, in Marseille, while in possession of a Kalashnikov rifle and a hand gun similar to the ones used in the attack on 24 May 24, sources said.
He has been detained on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise, a judicial source said.
The shooting by a lone gunman killed three people outright - an Israeli couple and a French woman, while the fourth victim, a 24-year-old Belgian man, was left clinically dead.
Authorities had released chilling security camera footage of the gunman, wearing a cap and sunglasses, walking into the museum, removing an automatic rifle from a bag and shooting through a door before making an exit.
Customs officials detained Nemmouche at Marseille's coach station on board a bus arriving from Amsterdam via Brussels.
According to sources close to the investigation, he was carrying an AK-47 automatic rifle and a gun with ammunition in his luggage, as well as a miniature video camera.
Originally from Roubaix in northern France, he is believed to have travelled to join Islamist fighters in Syria in 2013, and was known to the French domestic intelligence agency, DGSI, sources said.
He is being questioned by the DGSI who can hold him for up to 96 hours, until Tuesday, or 144 hours, to Thursday, if investigators invoke an imminent terrorist threat.

Comment: Interesting, whoever shot at French soldiers and Jewish schoolchildren in France in 2012 (also on the eve of elections) also had a miniature video camera.
The patsy, Merah, was also known to French intelligence.
The Belgian government warned last year that some 5,000 Western European 'Islamists' were 'democratizing' Syria and posed a threat to security once they returned home.
How easy it would be for Western intel agencies to then direct them towards 'domestic operations' that keep people terrorized and in submission to an EU project that remains fully controlled by the US.
