The spectre of terrorism hung over Paris once more today following the arrest of an Islamist radical suspected of murdering a female fitness coach and planning attacks on churches.
The man, arrested on Sunday, is accused of shooting dead Aurélie Châtelain, 32, in her car outside Paris last week, the government said today.
Police believe he wanted to use her vehicle for a terrorist action.
Bernard Cazeneuve, the interior minister, said the suspect was preparing an “imminent attack” on one or two churches.
The arrest comes three months after 20 people died, including three terrorists, in a series of shootings
