The detention of the elder brother, a 32-year-old engineer at the CERN nuclear research lab, was extended, the source said.
He may be handed over by Monday to authorities in Paris who deal with anti-terrorist matters.

According to officials, the engineer had made contact over the Internet with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, a North African offshoot of Osama bin Laden's loosely organised global Islamist militant movement.
He had expressed a desire to carry out attacks, but had "not got to the stage of carrying out material acts of preparation", one said.
The two brothers, both French nationals, were transferred early Friday to the Hauts-de-Seine area, just outside Paris.
