A French national arrested outside Paris days after the Brussels terror attacks has been charged with a string of terror offenses for allegedly plotting an "imminent attack," ِABC News quoted Paris prosecutor Francois Molins as saying on Thursday.
Molins said the suspect, Reda Kriket, had an "unprecedented scale" of weapons including Kalashnikovs, explosives and detonators. He is accused of participating in a terror group, preparing an attack, possessing and transporting weapons, manufacturing explosives and possessing fake documents.
The prosecutor also alleged connections between Kriket and at least three other people who have been detained in recent days in connection with terrorism. One man was arrested in the Dutch city of Rotterdam and two others in Belgium.
An arsenal of "unprecedented scale" of weapons and explosives was seized in Kriket's home, Molins said, adding that the weaponry was evidence of an "imminent attack."
Authorities allegedly found five Kalashnikov rifles, seven smaller weapons, TATP (the explosive used in the Paris and Brussels attacks), detonators, acid, nitroglycerin, various equipment that could be used to create explosives and ball bearings.
Investigators also found seven cellphones and two computers. (
