French anti-terror police have arrested seven men in the cities of Strasbourg and Marseille, security sources said on Monday.
Four men were arrested in eastern Strasbourg overnight on Saturday to Sunday, with another two detained in southern Marseille the same evening, several sources close to the case told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"Serious information made these arrests necessary," one source said, asking not to be named because he was not authorised to speak on the case.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve is set to give more details about the arrests later in the day.
