| FRENCH anti-terror police tonight arrested 11 people suspected of links with Muslim extremists, it has emerged. Eight men were detained in southern towns and cities of Marseille, Aubagne, Marignane and in Bordeaux on suspicion of trafficking firearms and explosives, news website 20.minutes.fr reported. According to French news channel LCI, three others were arrested for membership of an extremist group and being part of a cell planning to supply shelter and fake ID papers to Jihadists attempting to return to France after undergoing training on the Afghan-Pakistan border. The arrests followed the detention on Saturday of a 28-year-old Algerian man, wanted by French police, at a train station in Naples, southern Italy. He was allegedly carrying a bomb-making kit
There have been widespread terror threats across Europe in recent weeks which led to the US State Department issuing a travel warning for the region Sunday. | |

| #1 DEBKAfile says The only country which does face imminent terrorist action is France, but this has nothing to do with the alert issued by the State Department for the European continent at large or with the US offensive against al Qaeda and Taliban havens in northwest Pakistan. French special forces and air units have for some weeks been fighting Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb - AQIM, whose tentacles have gripped Algeria, Morocco and countries of the Sahel and Sahara deserts. AQIM is trying to hit back on French soil by using Islamists of North African origin living in Europe. The rest of the DEBKAfile article is about how the Europeans, particularly the Germans, are skeptical about the American warning of imminent attacks. |
