French intelligence fears Islamist 'missile strike on airliner' or 9/11-style attack
2015-08-28
[The Telegraph] French security forces are bracing for the eventuality of civil unrest and fear there could be a missile strike on a passenger airliner or a September 11-style attack, according to sources close to French intelligence.

"Airlines have been warned of a possible attack on a plane with an anti-tank missile," a source told The Telegraph. "But pilots are unsure how to take evasive action."

After Friday's thwarted attempt to massacre passengers on an Amsterdam-Paris train and a series of terrorist attacks and attempted killings in France this year, President Francois Hollande warned the nation to prepare for more violence, considered inevitable as the Islamist threat grows.

The army has made contingency plans for the "reappropriation of national territory", meaning to win back control of neighbourhoods where the population become hostile to the security forces and where guns are easily obtainable, according to the source.

"There are a lot of alienated and angry fourth-generation immigrant kids in the suburbs and the prospect of radicalisation is increasingly likely," the source said.

"The idea that attacks like the one on the train are carried out by individuals acting on their own is not credible. We're dealing with highly-organised networks of militant Islamists embarked on a campaign of violence and determined to intensify it."
So the terrorist taken down by the Americans and others on the train to Paris last week is talking.
How do they differentiate between lies told to terrify, wishful thinking, and the truth?

Do you mean the non-Muslim no-go zones that have proliferated as the result of unrestricted immigration policies that has resulted in a Islamic population of ~10%? Do you mean the population of troglodytes that use wishy-washy immigration policies as a weapon against the West to worm into the fabric of society and change it from within?

Given time amd analysis, well established techniques such as truth switchng, false replay, and fake sympathy will work. Course the French could just send the Corsican interrogators in with the electrodes.
