French police found TATP explosives during a raid on a flat south of Paris, a police source said on Wednesday, Reuters reports.

There was no one in the flat in the Paris suburb of Villejuif, and there were no arrests, the source said.

A secretive Isis unit that trained the perpetrators of the Paris and Brussels terrorist attacks has been teaching British fighters to attack targets in the UK, according to a fighter captured by Kurdish forces in Syria.

Romanian prosecutors on Thursday detained a 39-year-old man suspected of links with the Islamist radicals who orchestrated the November 13, 2015 suicide bombings and mass shootings in Paris that killed 130 and wounded 368.

Suicide bombers and gunmen attacked Iran's parliament and the Mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran on the morning of June 7, killing at least 12 people in a twin assault claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

The jihadist group released a video purporting to show gunmen inside the parliament building and one man, who appeared wounded, on the floor. 

Police faced-off with prison guards calling for better labor conditions who set up barricades at the Fleury-Merogis jail outside Paris. Tires were set on fire and smoke grenades were also reportedly used at the scene.

Belgium observed a moment of silence on March 22 to mark the first anniversary of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) bombings in Brussels, beginning a day of emotional ceremonies designed to show that the heart of Europe stands defiant.

Anis Amri who ran over 12 people with a truck at a Christmas bazaar in Berlin, crossed Brussels while fleeing the crime scene, reported Belgium's Prosecutor's Office, reported BNR.

Amri was recognised from video tapes on the Northern railway station in the Belgian capital.

Two men from Kosovo and a woman from Serbia were arrested on Wednesday in Belgium for suspected participation in terrorist activities linked to ISIS after house searches made by the police.
