Anti-terror police in France have arrested six people accused of belonging to a radical Islamist cell and preparing attacks in the country.<\/p>\n
The suspects, aged 22 to 38, were arrested in the Paris region on Monday.<\/p>\n
“They were planning to commit terrorist acts targeting well-known figures in France,” an unnamed source told the news agency Agence France Press.<\/p>\n
France raised its domestic terror alert level after its intervention in Mali.<\/p>\n
The members of the alleged Islamist cell include one man from Benin, another from the Comoros islands and four French nationals, AFP said.<\/p>\n
All were previously known to police.<\/p>\n
