PARIS - Police have broken up a terror ring plotting an attack in France after arresting seven individuals in Strasbourg and Marseille, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said on Monday.

The weekend arrests of seven suspects -- of French, Moroccan and Afghan origin -- "enabled us to prevent a long-planned terror attack on our soil," Cazeneuve told a televised news conference.
