French safety forces arrested previous this year in Saint-Etienne an 18-year impaired Chechen suspected of making plans an assault on the town’s soccer stadium all over the Olympic Video games, Internal Minister Gerald Darmanin says.
Not up to two months ahead of the Olympic Video games, France is on its easiest condition of safety alert.
“The first elements show he was actively planning an attack against the Geoffroy Guichard stadium (Saint-Etienne) during the football matches that will take place there during the Olympic Games” Darmanin stated in a remark.
The suspect was once “inspired by the Islamist” ideology, he stated.
“He wanted to attack spectators but also security forces and die as a martyr,” Darmanin added.
That is the primary foiling of an assault deliberate in reference to this Summer time Olympics, the remark stated.
