Terror attack foiled

FRENCH police have arrested seven people in Strasbourg and Marseille, the interior minister announced yesterday, saying authorities thwarted a new potential attack.

The raids were linked to a series of arrests in June during the European Championship that was held in cities across France, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.

The arrests on Sunday in Strasbourg and Marseille “allowed us to thwart a terrorist act that had been envisaged for a long time on our soil,” Cazeneuve told reporters in Paris. Investigators are studying whether it was part of a larger plot to attack multiple sites simultaneously.
