French police has nabbed 12 suspects overnight in Paris in the wake of last week's attacks in the French capital that killed 17 people.

A judicial source said that they are now being questioned about "possible logistical support" such as guns or weapons, which they could have provided to the gunmen, reported the BBC.

The police carried out raids in five towns including, Montrouge, Grigny, Chatenay-Malabry, Epinay-sur-Seine and Fleury-Merogis overnight.

Paris saw a spate of attacks last week which began with three gunmen killing 12 people in Charlie Hebdo's office.

A kosher supermarket and police were also attacked.
