A Montenegrin man was handed a four-year jail sentence in Germany on Thursday for heading to Paris with assault rifles and explosives hidden in his car shortly before the November attacks.
The 51-year-old was arrested during a routine check on a Bavarian motorway on November 5, just over a week before 130 people were killed in a co-ordinated suicide bomb and gun assault in the French capital.
Police discovered a cache of weapons in his car, including eight Kalashnikovs, handguns, two hand grenades and 200g of TNT explosives.
