French PM: 15,000 in the process of being radicalized
2016-09-12
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Sunday there would be new attacks in La Belle France but proposals by former president Nicolas Sarkozy
...23rd President of the French Republic. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit...
to boost security was not the right way to deal with threats.

The French capital was put on high alert last week when French officials said they dismantled a "terrorist cell" that planned to attack a Gay Paree railway station under the direction of 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
"This week at least two attacks were foiled," Manuel Valls said in an interview with Europe 1 radio and Itele television on Sunday.

Valls said there were 15,000 people on the radar of police and intelligent services who were in the process of being radicalized.

"There will be new attacks, there will be innocent victims...this is also my role to tell this truth to the French people," Valls said.

In an interview newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD), Sarkozy said La Belle France needed to get tough on snuffies by creating special courts and detention facilities to boost security.

"He is wrong about trying to wring the neck of the rule of law," Valls said.

Sarkozy proposed to systematically place French citizens suspected of having bad boy links in special detention facilities.

"And don’t tell me it would be Guantanamo," Sarkozy said in the interview. "In La Belle France, any administrative confinement is subject to subsequent control by a judge."

Guantanamo, opened by former President George W. Bush, was used to hold prisoners rounded up overseas when the United States became embroiled in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.

#1  ...but proposals by former president Nicolas Sarkozy to boost security was not the right way to deal with threats.

So, you have a magic wand which will make all of this disappear? This is stunning insanity / denial of the problem.
