Euro 2016: French cops may ban fan zones amid fears of ISIS terror attack

But the authorities are under pressure to scrap them after security chiefs warned that terrorists could plant bombs among the crowds.

One of the zones is in the centre of Paris where 130 people were massacred by IS fanatics last November.

Millionsof ticketless supporters, including Brits, plan to descend on the zones in 10 cities across France to see matches on giant TV screens.

But the authorities are under pressure to scrap them after security chiefs warned that terrorists could plant bombs among the crowds.

One of the zones is in the centre of Paris where 130 people were massacred by IS fanatics last November.

Mr Péchenard, now deputy head of the Paris Regional Council with special responsibility for security, said the zones were "a chance for a massacre”.

Record numbers of Brit supporters are expected to travel to France as England, Wales and Northern Ireland have all qualified.

Four terror suspects were arrested in Antwerp, Belgium, as police raided homes in the port city yesterday.

They were held on suspicion of recruiting people to travel to conflict zones in Syria or Libya. Two were later granted a conditional release. No weapons or explosives were found.
