A few meters from the place where the vehicle was parked, there is a break in the base’s fence that allows anyone to enter the facility illegally, RTL reported.
According to information from Le Figaro, the man is a “former soldier” who was put on the “Fiche S” list, which includes people known to be radicalized and considered a threat to national security, and who need to be constantly monitored.
During the search of the suspect’s car, security forces found a rifle cartridge and a copy of the Koran.
Built in the 1920s, Évreux-Fauville Air Base is home to two French tactical transport squadrons.
France is on high alert, as terrorist attacks starting in January 2015 have left over 200 dead across the country. The biggest loss of life took place in November of 2015, when at least 130 people were killed and 368 injured in coordinated attacks in Paris and Saint-Denis, a northern Parisian suburb.
On July 14, at least 84 people were killed in Nice when a truck driven by an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) sympathizer plowed through crowds during Bastille Day celebrations.
Also in July, two Islamic radicals murdered Father Jacques Hamel at a Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray church in northern France by cutting the 85-year-old priest’s throat.
