Attacker's flash drive held colleagues' data

The Paris police employee who killed four colleagues at the force's headquarters had a USB flash drive with details on dozens of officers, raising fears he intended to pass them to other militants, French daily Le Parisien reported on Tuesday. The newspaper also said it was not clear if the dead attacker, IT specialist Mickael Harpon, had the data on the drive as part of his job or had surreptitiously extracted it. The drive also had several propaganda videos from the Islamic State terror group.

Wildlife officials in Thailand said on Tuesday that they have discovered the carcasses of five more wild elephants downstream from a waterfall where the bodies of six other elephants were found last weekend.
