Five held, weapons seized in French anti-terror raid
French anti-terror police on Tuesday arrested four men and one woman and seized weapons in raids just days before the presidential election run-off, sources say.
Some of the arrests were made in northern France, with two pistols and two machine guns found during one of the raids, a source close to the case says.
The weapons belonged to a man close to one of the suspects, who held the guns legally.
Some of the suspects were in touch on social media or the internet and some of their messages made authorities fear they were planning violent acts, the source adds.
