-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
French authorities say they have arrested a man suspected of planning
imminent attacks on Paris churches. Officials say the man is an Algerian
national who expressed a desire to travel to Syria. He is also suspected
of murdering a woman before being detained Sunday, when he allegedly
shot himself by accident and called an ambulance. Authorities say they
found a trove of weapons and notes about the planned attack in his car.
