France seeks terror suspect after Belgian alert: minister

France has been alerted about a new suspect by the Belgian security services but it was not immediately clear if he was linked to the late-night shooting in Paris, a ministry official said today.

"It is too early to say" if the man signalled by Belgium was involved in the shooting which killed a policeman and wounded two others on the Champs-Elysees on Thursday, interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told Europe 1.
