Several plots to disrupt the 2024 Paris Olympics have been foiled by French authorities over the past weeks, according to officials. French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin Wednesday said police on Tuesday arrested a young man in southwest France accused of planning “violent action” against the Games. On the same day, Paris prosecutors said a 40-year-old Russian-born man had been arrested in Paris on similar suspicions.
