(AFP) Five people were arrested in northern France on Friday as part of an investigation into a criminal terrorist conspiracy, the national anti-terrorist prosecutor’s office said.
A source close to the case confirmed to AFP that they had been taken into police custody, but gave no further details of their suspected crimes.
The arrests took place in Nancy and two other towns in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department of northern France, the source said.
The suspects, picked up by the intelligence services, belong to an Islamist movement, according to another source.
