A Frenchman has been arrested in the "advanced stages" of a terror plot, the French interior minister has said.

Bernard Cazeneuve said there were no links "at this stage" between the plan and the attacks in Paris or Brussels.

The man was arrested during a raid in Argenteuil, on the northern outskirts of the French capital. Bomb squads are on site, Cazeneuve said.

He noted that the person arrested was implicated at a "high level" in the plot, but offered no details.
