BRUSSELS--French President François Hollande said one man has been identified and detained following what he described as a terror attack at a French factory in the town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier near Lyon.

Just before 1000 local time on Friday a vehicle drove at speed into the plant containing gas canisters. Mr. Hollande said the driver, perhaps accompanied by a passenger, intended to cause an explosion.

A decapitated corpse was found at the scene and two individuals are injured, he said.
