TWO Syrian men in greater Geneva, Switzerland have been arrested following suspicion of the manufacture, concealment and transport of explosives or toxic gases.

The suspicion later became real when authorities found traces of explosives in the men’s car. Authorities have arrested the men and are hunting for additional suspects who have indirect links to suspects from the terrorist attacks in Paris.

It remains unclear whether the men in Switzerland were linked with last month terrorist attack in Paris.

CNN reported that the alert reportedly came from US Intelligence officials who informed their Swiss counterparts they’d intercepted a conversation about a plot to attack Switzerland.

The US Embassy in Bern warned U.S. citizens “to review their personal security plans; remain aware of surroundings at all times, and monitor local news stations for updates. We also recommend maintaining a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance personal security.”
