French intelligence agents arrested three suspected Islamic militants who are wanted in connection with a foiled plot to attack a cathedral in Strasbourg. The three men of Algerian descent were "particularly dangerous" and suspected of roles in an operational network linked to the alleged plot against the cathedral. French anti-terrorism judges had ordered the arrests. The three men visited training camps in Afghanistan and Chechnya and had ties to Islamic networks operating out of Britain and Belgium and to a terror ring planning to attack U.S. interests in France, including the U.S. Embassy in Paris. The alleged plot to attack Strasbourg Cathedral was foiled in December 2000 after German police discovered video footage of the cathedral and marketplace during a raid on an apartment. Four people were arrested while others suspected of connections with the plot were arrested elsewhere in Europe.
The fact that they were even able to conceive of bombing Strasbourg's cathedral is firm evidence that these thugs totally lack souls. |
