News Conference: Terror Attack

news conference: The arrests of seven people -- of French, Moroccan and Afghan origin -- enabled us to prevent a long-planned terror attack on our soil, Cazeneuve told a televised news conference, according to Nine News Australia. He said the investigation would show whether the foiled attack was a coordinated attack aiming to target several sites simultaneously on our soil. AFP Police have broken up a terror ring plotting an attack in France after arresting seven suspects in Strasbourg and Marseille, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said on Monday. The raids were carried out overnight Saturday to Sunday in the eastern city of Strasbourg and Marseille in the south following an eight-month investigation by security services. Cazeneuve linked the arrests to raids carried out shortly before the Euro 2016 football championship hosted by France in June. Credible information made these arrests necessary, one security source told AFP earlier, asking not to be named because they were not authorised to speak on the case. (news.financializer.com).
