Two of three Lebanese being questioned about a series of terrorist bombings in Paris last year were charged with involvement in guerrilla attacks. French court officials identified the two, arrested last week, as Abbas Khawaja and Mohammed Moussawi. An Interior Ministry spokesman said Moussawi once worked at the Iranian Embassy in Paris and may have been in contact with Wahid Gordji, the embassy’s No. 2 official, who is at the center of a diplomatic dispute between France and Iran. Gordji, wanted for questioning about the same attacks, which left 13 people dead, has been holed up in the embassy for more than three weeks. France broke relations with Iran over his refusal to leave the mission and appear in court.
