Paris prosecutor Francois Molins says that five men arrested recently in two French cities were planning a terror attack in France as early as next week.
(FOX)-He also says that they were receiving their orders from an Islamic State group member based in Iraq or Syria.
Molins spoke to reporters Friday, the day after anti-terrorism authorities took the unusual step of holding the men in custody without charge beyond the normal maximum period, relying on a recent anti-terrorism measure.
The five were arrested on Sunday in Strasbourg and Marseille.
