France arrests 7 suspects, foils another terror plot
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. November 21, 2016, 2:54 PM (IDT)
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Monday that seven people of French, Moroccan and Afghan origin, aged 29 to 37, had been detained on Sunday. Two were arrested in Marseille. Most of the others were arrested in Strasbourg. “An attack has been foiled … The scale of the terrorist threat is enormous and it is not possible to ensure zero risk despite everything we are doing,” he added. The mayor of Strasbourg said it appeared that the plot had focused on “the Paris region” during the Christmas season.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
