France: dragnet in jihadist circles |
2011-05-11 |
[Ennahar] French police conducted an operation Tuesday in Islamist circles, arresting seven people in the Gay Paree region, including an Indian, suspected of having been in combat zones on the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistain or have considered doing so. The "primary target" is the Indian national intercepted when he had just arrived from Algeria, and described by a source close to the investigation as having "links with Pakistain." The nature of these links has not been specified. The six other arrests have taken place in Gay Paree in particular, Stains and Garges-les-Gonesse, in suburban north-east and north of the capital. These seven people should be interviewed in police custody that can be extended to four days, according to terrorism. According to sources familiar with the matter, this dragnet is related to an investigation into jihadist, following the arrest of two Frenchies in Pakistain in January. Some placed in durance vile are suspected of having made trips to the Pakistain-Afghanistan area. |

#1 described by a source close to the investigation as having "links with Pakistain." Hmmm, Navy SEALs just carried off a big pile of jihadi data from Pakistain. Coincidence? I have heard the French security services can be ruthlessly efficient. |
