Media caption Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve: "[The suspect's] details were flagged up to the French authorities... in February 2014."
A heavily armed man who was overpowered on a train in France is thought to be known to the intelligence services, officials say.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the gunman is believed to be a 26-year-old Moroccan with links to the "radical Islamist movement".
He was restrained by passengers, including two Americans who are members of the armed forces.
They have been praised by the French and American presidents.
Mr Cazeneuve stressed that the identity of the suspect had not been "established with certainty".
But he said that the man, who is being questioned near Paris, had identified himself as someone who was flagged up to French authorities by their Spanish counterparts in February 2014.
He is thought to have lived in France and Spain, and to have travelled to Syria, Agence France-Presse reported, citing unnamed security sources.
