Paris terror strike foiled
Print Edition
A jihadist terror ring was planning to attack Paris next Thursday and had researched sites including a Christmas market and Disneyland outside the capital as potential targets, according to a police source yesterday.
Seven suspects were arrested in police raids last weekend in the eastern city of Strasbourg and Marseille in the south following an eight-month investigation by security services, although two were later released.
The source said investigators found the suspects had made Internet searches on sites including the Christmas market on the Champs-Elysees avenue, the Disneyland Paris theme park, cafe terraces in the northeast of the capital, the Paris criminal police headquarters and a metro station.
Five of the suspects have had their custody extended under legislation covering investigations into an imminent terror attack.
