French candidates ‘warned of election attack plot’

(Agence France Presse) — Photos of two men arrested Tuesday on suspicion of plotting a terror attack in France were distributed to the security teams of candidates in the upcoming French presidential election, campaign sources told AFP.

“The photos were passed to my security service from Thursday,” far-right candidate Marine Le Pen told AFP, while an aide to centrist Emmanuel Macron also confirmed receiving pictures.

Conservative Francois Fillon was warned about the danger on Friday, an aide said.
