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.

Seized laptop of suspected terrorist reveals plan to target fans in London during Euro 2016

Based on data found on a laptop used by Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam, there is evidence that ISIS wants to use target England fans as they gather in Marseille to follow the Three Lions at the Euro 2016. The sinister plan involves suicide bombs, assault rifles and even drones carrying chemical weapons to carry out the attacks.
The laptop had been was seized during raids that led to the arrest of Abdeslam in Molenbeek, Brussels, in March.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 30 May 2016.

The data retrieved from the laptop shows photographs and mention of the French city's Old Port which will be the venue where England fans will assemble for their opening game against Russia in an official fan zone. In the opinion of security chiefs, there could be a repeat of Paris attacks in November, when coordinated groups of ISIS killers gunned down people in the streets.
As a Belgium security source has indicated, ISIS was drawing up plans to attack fans of England and Russia before the game. The suspect is under lock and key but there are fears that others are at large and they are equally fanatical and could strike. Fans of England and Russia are obvious targets because both these countries are bombing ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
