(Radio France) French police have arrested a 16-year-old teenager in the eastern city of Strasbourg as part of an investigation into a suspected plot to attack security forces and possibly the presidential Elysee Palace, according to judicial sources.
The teenager is the fifth person to be arrested in relation to the investigation.
According to France’s TF1 television, he is believed to be a high school student of Chechen origin and was arrested at his parents’ home.
His arrest comes after three adults and another teenager were taken into custody on 26 April.
Interior Minister Christophe Castaner says they would have carried out an “extremely violent terror attack.”
