the attack had been carried out by five men and a woman who rented a yacht using false passports.
Investigators are still trying to determine the identity of the perpetrators and their motive, the prosecutor’s office said, adding that no firm conclusions could yet be drawn, in particular on whether the explosions had been ordered by a state.
