PARIS, May 16 (Reuters) - Police in France, Germany and the Netherlands have arrested 10 people on suspicion of having financial ties with an Uzbek group linked to al Qaeda, a source close to the French investigation said on Friday.

Eight suspects arrested in the eastern French city of Mulhouse and the Rhone department of eastern France were Turkish or of Turkish origin, as were two others arrested in Germany and the Netherlands, the source said.

All those arrested were suspected of supporting a funding network that helped finance the group in Uzbekistan, which the source did not name.

The investigation was continuing in cooperation with the German and Dutch authorities, the source added. (Writing by Francois Murphy; editing by Andrew Dobbie)
