[Luiz 4,253]

The head of Ukraine’s state security service (SBU) says it has prevented 15 “terrorist attacks” planned for the eve and during the Euro 2016 football championship in France.

SBU chief Vasily Gritsak said a French citizen detained in late May on the Ukrainian-Polish border had been planning a string of attacks in France to coincide with the championship which France is hosting.

The unnamed man had made contact with illegal armed groups in Ukraine with the aim of buying weapons and explosives.

His intended targets included Jewish and Muslim places of worship and buildings involved with the soccer tournament, Gritsak said. French government administration buildings, including those dealing with tax collection, were also a target.

The SBU was able to prevent a series of 15 acts of terror (planned) for the eve and during the Euro soccer championship,” he said.

Security officials in Europe are on high alert after Islamist militants killed 130 people in Paris last November and suicide bombers killed 32 people at Belgium’s main international airport and on the Brussels metro in March.

The United States has warned its citizens of possible further attacks in Europe, saying targets could include Euro 2016 which opens in France on Friday.

So apparently the man is a far right extremist and opposes "massive immigration" and "islamisation"... So now on top of worrying about ISIS fanatics we have to worry about their enemies... great!
