In the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attacks in Brussels, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has announced the arrest of an individual in the "advanced stages" of a terror plot.

The arrest came after a police raid in Argenteuil, in the northern outskirts of Paris. Authorities believe the plot has been stopped, and Cazeneuve said there were no links "at this stage" between this plot and the attacks in Paris and Brussels.

French police foil 'advanced’ terror plot near Paris

Latest update : 2016-03-24

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve on Thursday said police had foiled a terror plot that was in its “advanced stages” after an arrest and search in the Parisian suburb of Argenteuil.

Cazeneuve, speaking at a press conference late on Thursday, said there were no links "at this stage" between the foiled plot and recent terrorist attacks in Paris or Brussels.

The interior minister said bomb squads were on site in the building located around 15 kilometres north of the French capital.

“This arrest is the result of a careful investigation that began several weeks ago, and which mobilised important human and technical surveillance resources, as well as close and ongoing co-operation with European intelligence agencies," Cazeneuve said.

He noted that the person arrested was a French national, implicated at a "high level" in the plot, but offered no other details.

Witnesses told France's i-Tele network that the immediate area had been locked down, and residents were unable to return home.

Cazeneuve’s announcement comes two days after three suicide bombers killed 31 people in Brussels and six days after Salah Abdeslam, the sole surviving participant in the November 13 Paris attacks, was apprehended by Belgian police.
