A 28 year old man of European appearance was taken into custody yesterday (Jan. 28) at New York Hotel, which is about 10 minutes from the theme park Disneyland outside of Paris.

Francois Banon, spokesman for Disneyland Paris said that hotel security alerted the cops. The man, who is said to be from Paris, had booked a room for two for a night there. Banon said that two small caliber handguns dating back to the 1980s, ammunition and a copy of either The Qur'an or a guide to it. were found in the man's bag as he went through a security check.

There were no casualties. No one was hurt and the theme park was not closed at any time during or after the arrest.

There is no evidence that the man was associated with any terrorist groups; Le Parisien from the French media reported that the man claimed during his interrogation that he had been carrying the firearms to protect himself .

A woman in connection with the detainee was also arrested earlier on, but was released when it was found out she was wrongly apprehended. CBS News was informed by the police that they do not have a woman connected to the detained man in custody.

The investigation is currently being handled by the local police. It has not been passed on to anti-terrorism investigators. The police have said they continue to work with authorities closely to ensure safety of their guests. The detained man was not known to any terrorism authorities. In fact, the only way he was known was for driving once without a driving license.
