F****h police have arrested a 26-year-old Ukranian-Russian man after he b*************p with e*******e materials in a hotel room north of Paris, a source at the F****h PNAT anti-t*******m prosecutors office said on Wednesday.
The man was treated by firefighters after he “s******d significant burns following an e*******n” on Monday, the source said. A subsequent search of his room led to the discovery of products and materials intended for the manufacture of e*******e devices, they added.
The source said the PNAT office, working with France’s domestic spy agency, had opened an investigation into the man, who was suspected of participation in a t*******t conspiracy and b**b plot.
Neither the Ukrainian or Russian embassies in Paris immediately responded to a request for comment.
The Paris CDG airport, which is close to where the man was arrested, said operations had not been affected.
France is on maximum threat alert with less than two months to go until the start of the Paris Olympics. The Games take place against a complex geopolitical backdrop with the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and pose a major security challenge.
Last month, F****h security services foiled a planned attack on the Games, with the arrest of an 18-year-old Chechen man allegedly preparing a s*****e attack at Saint-Etienne’s soccer stadium.
