Terrorist suspect arrested at army base

Near a French Air Force Base in Evreux, Normandy, a man was arrested on Friday that could possibly be an attack.

The authorities came to the track following a tip about a suspicious car. It is still unclear whether the military complex was its target. In France, in the run-up to the presidential election, which is decided on Sunday, the security measures were thrown up because of the terrorist threat.

Two weeks ago, a few days before the first election round, a police officer was shot on the Paris boulevard Champs-Élysées. The assault was claimed by Islamic State.
