Gas tanks and Arabic documents found in unmarked car by Paris' Notre Dame cathedral

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/07/gas-tanks-found-in-unmarked-car-by-paris-notre-dame-cathedral-sp/

Gas tanks and documents in Arabic were found in an unmarked car next to Notre Dame cathedral sparking fresh terror fears and at least two arrests, according to French reports on Wednesday.

An anti-terror investigation has been launched following the discovery of the suspicious vehicle containing up to seven cylinders on Sunday yards from the cathedral - one of Paris's most visited landmarks where thousands of tourists congregate every day.
