PARIS: France has foiled two terror attacks this year targeting a leading sports team and the armed forces, Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said Sunday. Paris is still on its highest level of alert after a string of Islamist attacks over the last three years.
“Since January 1, we have foiled two planned attacks which had not been totally finalised but a number of people were in the process of trying to execute them,” Collomb said on Europe 1 radio.
One was “in the east” of the country and one “in the west”, he said. One of them was planned against a “big sports team” where “young people were targeted”, and the other the armed forces.
