Ukraine police arrest a French citizen to foil terror bid during Euro 2016


The Euro 2016 tournament is scheduled to be organized in France from June 10 to July 10 and the Ukraine police has arrested a French citizen who is suspected of planning terror attacks to coincide with the Euro 2016 European football championship. The Frenchman had apparently talked in a negative way about his government`s actions relating to the mass migration of foreigners and the spread of Islam. He has also disclosed a plan to commit a series of terrorist attacks as a mark of protest.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 7 June 2016.
It seems he was plotting 15 attacks in France targeting Muslim and Jewish houses of worship, bridges, highways, a tax collecting office and buildings of public institutions involved in the organization of Euro 2016. Police detained him when he was attempting to cross the Ukrainian-Polish border.
Details of the suspect have not been disclosed but, he had traveled to Ukraine intending to buy weapons from the armed groups, which are involved in the confrontation in eastern regions. Preliminary investigations indicate that he had acquired 125 kg of explosives, 5 Kalashnikov assault rifles, more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition and other weapons as a part of his arsenal.
