French police were under pressure to apologise yesterday after they wrongly identified five Spanish firefighters as suspected Basque terrorists who killed a French police officer.
The five young men from Catalonia were held overnight and interrogated by anti-terrorist police after their pictures were presented on French television as suspects in the shooting last Tuesday of the officer near Fontainebleau, south of Paris.
The pictures had been taken from security cameras at a hypermarket near the scene of the shooting and circulated by police.
