Counterterrorism authorities announced the prevention of an imminent terrorist attack in the Cote d’Azur region and the arrest of a jihadist who had returned from Syria. The suspect, Ibrahim B., had fled in 2012 along with two other members of the terrorist group Cannes-Torcy to Syria, where they allegedly joined the Al Nusrah Front. A raid on his apartment in Mandelieu-La-Napoule, near Cannes resulted in the seizure of 900 grams of the explosive TATP, along as well as a gun and a computer. Al Qaeda has reissued a call for attacks in France.
