Five suspects were arrested in a foiled terror attack in France directed by the so-called "Islamic State" and planned for next week, a prosecutor said Friday.
Francois Molins said the men detained last weekend were directed remotely by a militant commander in the Iraq-Syria region.
Molins revealed screengrabs found on the suspects' computers showed a list of potential targets planned for the Dec. 1 attacks.
He didn't give the locations but French media reported they were Paris law courts, the nearby headquarters of the judicial police, the Christmas market on the Champs-Elysees and the Disneyland theme park east of the city.
The suspected extremists were between 29 and 38 years old, and are of French, Moroccan and Afghan origin.
