Paris attack: Police hunt driver who wounded six soldiers (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4773988/amp/Six-soldiers-wounded-Paris.html)
Hamou Bachir, 36, is under armed guard in hospital after he was 'seriously wounded' in a fierce gunfight close to the northern port town of Boulogne-sur-Mer after he was intercepted driving towards Calais.
Bachir, who was not known to the security services, was shot five times, with one officer also hit by a bullet, before being arrested, according to a security source.
The suspect - who also uses the name Benlatreche - is thought to be an illegal immigrant who was subject to a ‘foreigner infraction’ notice meaning he faced deportation to Algeria, which used to be French colony.
A search is underway at a building believed to be connected to Bachir in Sartrouville.
'The suspect was driving a black BMW identical to the one used in the attack on the soldiers,' said the source.
'Its number plate was recorded by video surveillance, and put out to police forces around the country.'
