The Paris prosecutor’s office says that five men have been detained and weapons seized in anti-terrorist operations across France, five days ahead of a tense presidential runoff.

The Paris prosecutor oversees anti-terrorism investigations.
It is not clear whether the arrests had any link to the presidential campaign. The runoff is on Sunday.
An attack claimed by the Islamic State group killed a police officer in Paris two weeks ago. France is under a state of emergency after a string of deadly Islamic extremist attacks.
Let's hope the French people give Le Pen the chance to clean this up.
