Two Syrian nationals arrested in Geneva 'with traces of explosives found in car'

Two Syrian nationals have been arrested in Geneva, Switzerland.

Traces of explosives were found in their car, the city's daily Tribune de Geneve reported.

The newspaper gave no details on the identity of the two men, or the circumstances of their arrest.
