Ukraine said Monday it had arrested a suspected far-right French extremist who was allegedly planning to attack the Euro 2016 championships, adding to security fears over Europe's showcase football tournament. The 25-year-old man had a huge arsenal of weapons and was planning to attack a string of locations in his home country, Ukraine's security services said, just four days before the tournament kicks off in France. Preparations in France have also been marred by strikes that have paralysed transport and torrential rain that caused flooding along the River Seine, forcing tourist attractions including the Louvre Museum to close.
