Spanish police foil bomb attack by French Muslim

Spanish police say they have foiled a planned suicide bomb attack by a French Muslim.

The 30-year-old man, who is of Moroccan origin, was stopped at a routine motorway checkpoint on Sunday after crossing the border from France.

His car contained a samurai sword and two butane gas canisters fitted with large fireworks.

The man claimed to be a suicidal jilted lover, but the police say he had two Arabic-language letters praising jihad and saying goodbye to his family.
