BBC: France foiling terror plots 'daily' - Prime Minister Manuel Valls
The French prime minister has said the country's security services are foiling terror plots and dismantling militant networks "every day".
Manuel Valls said about 15,000 people were being monitored for radicalisation as the country continues its drive against jihadist militants.
Previously the authorities said about 10,000 were identified as high-risk.
A boy of 15 was arrested at his home in Paris on Saturday on suspicion of planning an attack over the weekend.
Investigators said he had been under surveillance since April and he had been in touch with a French member of so-called Islamic State (IS), Rachid Kassim.
