Paris - French police found Arabic documents mentioning the Islamic State group and Al-Qaeda at the home of an Algerian suspected of plotting an attack against a French church, the Paris prosecutor said Wednesday.

Francois Molins said investigators also found evidence on 24-year-old IT student Sid Ahmed Ghlam's computer that he was in contact with a man in Syria "who clearly asked him to target a church."
