France Foils Terror Plot; Six Detained in Brussels Investigation
(Washington Post) Griff Witte and Steven Mufson - French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Thursday that police had foiled a terrorist plot with the arrest of a man at "an advanced stage" of planning an attack on French soil. The Belgian prosecutor's office announced six arrests in Brussels in its investigation into the attacks at Brussels Airport and a subway station near EU headquarters. Rob Wainwright, chief of Europol, told the BBC on Thursday, "We are faced by a more dangerous, a more urgent security threat from so-called Islamic State. It threatens not just France and Belgium but a number of European countries at the same time. It is certainly the most serious threat we have faced in at least a decade."
