PARIS - Authorities fear that a suspected Islamic terror cell broken up in France was plotting attacks on the Paris subway, an airport and an intelligence agency's headquarters, newspapers said Tuesday.
Police arrested nine people Monday in the sweep, including an Islamic militant previously convicted on terrorism charges and freed from prison two years ago, officials said.
Le Figaro and Le Parisien newspapers said the alleged cell's suspected targets included the Metro, a Paris airport and the Paris headquarters of the Directorate for Territorial Surveillance, or DST, a police intelligence and counterterrorism agency.

Without reading the article, I'm convinced it's that Franco-Amish terror cell.
Why would the attack a Nation they already defeated?
Those damn Amish again!
Their "reward" for opposing the US on Iraq, apparently.
I guess France was about to be attacked becuase of their strident support of U.S. efforts in Iraq.
Well, if France wasn't part of the forces in Iraq, the Islamists wouldn't be attacking them.
Wait a minute, they're not. What gives?
Could it be that Islamists will find a rationalization for attacking Western countries, one way or the other?
I think that banning headscarves in schools would do it.
This is Hugh and Series. What if France has to surrender to itself! Is that a paradox that could destroy the universe?
Keep me updated.

Ya think?....
The French fought VERY hard in World War I, and in just six weeks of World War II lost more soldiers killed than the U.S. Army did during the entire war, so the "surrender monkey" label is most unfair.
Welcome to the party Jacques.
Ping. You might want this article for your bookmarks.
In fact, France has some of the more rigorous measures in place to combat terrorism. And they've given us more intelligence since 9/11 than most countries. But they certainly keep it hiden, don't they?
What, you mean being anti-American and anti-war, and turning your government and society over to Islamophilic leftist scumbags isn't enough?
I guess until 100% of the French face Mecca and prostrate 5 times a day under the black cloud of Islam, nothing will appease the bloodthirsty b@stards.
(hats off to Harper)
It was thwarted because once the french found out about the plot, they immediately surrendered. Thus making the plot unneccessary and thwarted.
You are not quite right.
According to stats, most deaths
were French civilians.

No ... unless one considers France to be the Universe (which the French do, of course).
