March 30, 2016 21:54

The main suspect in a foiled French attack plot was charged today with membership of a terrorist group, sources close to the investigation said.

French national Reda Kriket, 34, was arrested near Paris last week and found to have assault rifles and homemade explosives at his home.

His arrest came just four months after the jihadist carnage that claimed 130 lives in Paris, and investigators said another major attack had been in an "advanced stage" of planning.
