| France: 60 Per Cent Rise in Extremism Since Bataclan Terror Attack |
| 2017-11-12 |
| [Save My Sweden] At the time of the November 2015 coordinated assaults at the French national stadium and the Bataclan theatre, resulting in the deaths of 130 and nearly 400 injuries, the FSPRT contained 11,400 cases. Less than two years later, the file contains 18,550 cases with Le Figaro commenting: "The file is constantly growing." The newspaper reports that along with personal details such as name, address, and criminal records, the file contains details of relationships with other radical Islamists. The report noted a strong presence of radicals in the departments of Île-de-France (Paris region), the North, the Bouches-du-Rhône, the Rhône, and the Alpes-Maritimes (home to the city of Nice, where the Bastille Day terror attack occurred). Female radicals accounted for 26 per cent of the cases and minors a little more than 16 per cent. Converts to Islam accounted for more than 34 per cent of the identified radicals. |
