Frenchman held in Netherlands linked to Paris plot suspect

A French national arrested in the Netherlands today is suspected of involvement in a plot to attack France in the name of the Islamic State group along with terror suspect Reda Kriket who was arrested near Paris on Thursday, a police source told AFP.

The 32-year-old arrested in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam had been flagged by French authorities in December over criminal association with a terrorist organisation, the source added.
