France Arrests Russians Over new Attack Plot
[AnNahar] France arrested five Russians Tuesday accused of plotting a new attack as four men suspected of helping the gunmen behind the Paris shootings were brought before anti-terrorist judge.

European nations, on high alert after the attacks that shook France to its core, have launched a wave of raids targeting suspected jihadist cells.

French prosecutors said five Russians from the restive Muslim republic of Chechnya had been detained near the southern city of Montpelier suspected of plotting an attack.

No further details about their plans were immediately available.
Ynet adds:
Police arrested five Chechens in southern France on suspicion of preparing an attack, a police source said on Tuesday. The source said four of them were arrested in Montpellier and a fifth in Beziers. According to Midi Libre newspaper, a cache of explosives was also found, and investigations were continuing.

#1 five Russians from the restive Muslim republic of Chechnya

I suppose if it the Paleosimians, we'd see "Five Israelis arrested for plotting a terrorist attack."?

#2 Are these Chechens pro or anti Kadyrov/Putin?

It does seem like all factions in Chechnya want to stomp out anti islamic speech in the West.

Could this be Putin's indirect revenge for the sanctions?

#3 Naaaa, it's just 800,000 or so self-radicalized radicals mostly in Grozny causing all the uproar.

#4 I suppose if it the Paleosimians, we'd see "Five Israelis arrested for plotting a terrorist attack."?

When one exercises the "useful aspects of Islam" option, one has to take the bad with the good really bad.
