Man held for planned attack

Two other people, one of whom is suspected of having planned an attack on police, were arrested in another police raid in Toulouse, in the south-west of the country, the police source said.
The arrests came as German authorities detained a Tunisian man they suspect of involvement in the truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market which killed 12 people, prosecutors said yesterday. IS has claimed responsibility for the attack, which some critics say was made easier by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door migrant policy.
