PARIS, France (AP) -- French counterterrorism agents on Thursday arrested three suspects believed to have "indirect links" to al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a police spokeswoman said.
The round-up near Paris was connected to a similar sweep Monday near the capital and in the northern Oise region that netted 25 suspects, said national police spokeswoman Catherine Casteran.
Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking in parliament on Wednesday, described a web of links between the alleged network in France -- which police say included both Islamic militants and common criminals -- and other terror cells and groups, including Zarqawi.

What the hell is an indirect link? His mother's brother's son's uncle's friend?
