A HUGE cache of weapons and bombs was found near Disneyland Paris yesterday.
Police fear Islamic extremists had been plotting a Mumbai-style massacre at the theme park at Christmas.
Disneyland is packed with British children and their parents over the festive season.
The devastating attack could have been more horrific than the commando-style raids on Mumbai in November 2008, in which 166 people died.
Armed police found the guns and explosives in a building in the eastern Paris suburb of Torcy near the park.
The raid came after 11 men were arrested and another shot dead during anti-terror swoops across France at the weekend.
Detectives believe extremists were planning a wave of deadly strikes in a twisted bid to turn France into a Muslim state.
Former Portsmouth football star Yann Nsaku, 19, was among those held. Anti-terror officers then swooped on the building used by the gang in Torcy.
Meanwhile, security chiefs have warned that al-Qaida could still stage a massacre in London after US spies rumbled a plan to target Britain, France and Germany in simultaneous strikes.
Sources claim London landmark buildings were targets and thousands could have died.
