According to the Ukrainian security service (SBU), a man was arrested last month who planned multiple attacks in France during the Euro 2016 tournament (set to kickoff on Friday).

More than 100 people are feared dead after seven blasts targeted several locations in the Latakia province in Syria on Monday, according to media reports. ISIS have claimed responsibility for the attacks in Jableh and Tartuswhich which are close to two Russian military facilities.

The Alawites is the minority sect to which President Bashar Assad belongs.
