    French police foil “imminent and violent attack” ahead of Sunday's presidential election

    “These two radicalized men ... intended to commit in the very short-term - I mean in the coming days - an attack on French soil,” said Interior Minister Matthias Fekl

    Two Frenchmen arrested in Marseille on Tuesday planned an “imminent and violent attack” ahead of the first round of the presidential election on Sunday, France's interior minister said. France's internal intelligence agency, which had been looking for the two suspects for more than a week, had warned main candidates in the election that there was a threat to their security, campaign officials said.
