French authorities foiled three plots to attack the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris and other cities that hosted the summer events, the country’s national counter-terrorism prosecutor Olivier Christen has said. Christen said the plots included plans to attack “Israeli institutions or representatives of Israel in Paris” during the games, which ran from July 26 to August 11.
French authorities foil Olympic terror plots. The prosecutor told broadcaster France Info that “the Israeli team itself was not specifically targeted”. In all, five people, including a minor, were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the three foiled plots against the games, which were held against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war and Russia’s war in Ukraine. The suspects faced various terrorism-related charges while they remained in pre-trial detention, the prosecutor said.
