It was one of the most devastating acts of terrorism in Europe in recent times: 130 people were killed in several attacks by jihadists on November 13, 2015 in Paris.

Now the Italian police have arrested another alleged supporter of the attackers.

The 36-year-old Algerian is suspected of having provided the perpetrators at the time with forged documents, the police said.

He was arrested in the city of Bari and is said to be a supporter of the terrorist militia "Islamic State" (IS).

Further details should be communicated at a press conference on Monday.

In the attacks five years ago in Paris, numerous people were killed and 350 others were injured.

The perpetrators used bombs and firearms to attack the Bataclan music club and restaurants.

The IS extremist militia confessed to the acts.
