One of the venues targeted was the Stade de France where France were playing Germany.

A Belgian-born man named as Salah Abdeslam, 26, has been named as a key suspect.

Belgium raised the terror threat to level three on Monday.

England’s game with France at Wembley will go ahead after the French Football Federation (FFF) decided to continue with the match.
