French authorities foiled three plots to attack the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris and other cities that hosted the summer events, the national counter-terrorism prosecutor said.

Olivier Christen said the plots included plans to attack “Israeli institutions or representatives of Israel in Paris” during the Games, which ran from July 26 to August 11.
