6 Detained in Suspected Plot to Attack French President

by Associated Press

   PARIS --

   A French judicial official says six people have been arrested on
   preliminary terrorism charges, suspected of plotting to attack French
   President Emmanuel Macron.

   The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the
   allegations, said intelligence agents detained the six in three widely
   scattered regions, including the Alps, Brittany and near the Belgian
   border. He said the plan appeared to be vague and unfinalized but
   violent.
   Macron is in Verdun on Tuesday as part of World War I commemorations
   and hosts U.S. President Donald Trump this weekend.
