Nice 25 Oct

Last tuesday morning 25/10 (approx 0900 UTC) I was at the holding point for 04R at Nice. The aircraft ahead was an N-registered, white body 737(probably corporate). He was cleared for takeoff, commenced his takeoff roll and appeared to be well on the way when ATC said 'takeoff clearance cancelled' or words to that effect. He aborted takeoff and asked for the reason a number of times without response. He was then told to clear the runway and go to ground. There was single runway operation at the time so the aircraft on finals had to be sent around.
Does anyone know why his takeoff clearance was cancelled at that late stage?
