By Arnaud Grange VALENCE, France (Reuters) - French investigators found jihadist propaganda material on Saturday in the computer of a man who drove his car into troops guarding a mosque in southern France on New Year's Day but said it did not prove he had links with any terrorist groups. "The inspection of his computer led to the discovery of jihadi propaganda images," local prosecutor Alex Perrin told Reuters. "It shows he had an appreciation of that but it does not prove he had links with terrorist organizations." The 29-year old Frenchman of Tunisian descent rammed his car into a group of four soldiers in a car park outside a large mosque in a suburb of Valence on Friday afternoon, the prosecutor told reporters earlier on Saturday.
