| Paris Says 110 Jihadists from France Killed in Iraq and Syria | |

| [AnNahar] French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Tuesday that 110 jihadists who left French territory to fight with the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group had died in Iraq and Syria. "More than 860 individuals have spent time in these countries, 471 of which are still there and 110 of which are dead," Valls told the Senate as it studies an intelligence bill approved by politicians in May. Nine of those died in suicide kabooms, said Valls. La Belle France, along with Belgium, has seen the largest numbers of citizens or residents leaving to join the Islamic State jihadist group, which has seized large parts of Syria and Iraq. The phenomenon has raised fears that radicalized citizens may return to carry out attacks on home soil. A new intelligence bill giving the state sweeping powers to spy on its citizens has been in the works for some time but gained impetus after a jihadist killing spree in January in Gay Paree left 17 dead. It is now before the upper house Senate, dominated by the right-wing opposition UMP which has just been renamed The Republicans.
